About The Shape of a Person: Immigrant Stories

Immigration has been in the news a lot these days, but this podcast hopes to focus on the people and humanity behind the headlines. The two hosts have made careers out of teaching English to non-native speakers, all the while marveling at the stories of these amazing people who find themselves in an ESL classroom in the suburbs of Houston, TX, the most diverse city in the country. “The Shape of a Person” features weekly guests who share their stories and laughter with their teachers as well as with you, the audience.New episodes drop on Friday.

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.
