About This Is a Band

Luke and Ryan have been friends for over 25 years. Both are musicians that took a long break from music, until the pandemic. On New Years Day 2021 they began a weekly video chat that was like a writers group but for songwriters. Luke's in LA, Ryan's in Seattle. A few months in, they started recording the conversations and realized "this is a band." Or is it? Follow along as their songs come to life in real time over several years, and Luke and Ryan hone their craft on stage and in studio. In the end, it's two old friends hanging out and making music.

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.
