About The Vaccine That Vanished [RSSCOM]

In 1955, Polish scientist Hilary Koprowski developed the first polio vaccine - three years before Salk. But when a key lab assistant disappeared with the culture samples, the breakthrough vanished from history. Through never-before-translated journals and a recent DNA discovery, we reconstruct this medical Cold War mystery and project how 700,000 lives might have been saved if this vaccine had reached market first.

The Day Nintendo Almost Died

1983: Nintendo's US division is failing. Their last-ditch effort - a strange glove controller called the Power Glove - is their final shipment before bankruptcy.

We examine how this near-disaster birthed modern gaming culture, and what gaming would look like if Sega had won the console wars

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.
