About The Reading Books Initiative: The Paper Books Cure

We are committed to making people readers. There are two main reasons for doing this: 1) to enrich our lives with the beauty and wisdom embedded in the great texts that older cultures have built up, using thousands of years of accumulated cultural resources. 2) to free ourselves from the frenzied, hurried lives that proliferate in ever-accelerating modernity.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
