About Village That Voted The Earth Was Flat

In a tale as intriguing today as it was in its time, this story explores the curious case of Huckley, an English village that found itself voting on the flatness of the Earth. But how did this bizarre scenario come to be? The narrative unfolds around Sir Thomas Ingell, the local squire, who inadvertently becomes the centerpiece of an international mockery after luring two newspaper owners, a reporter, and an MP into a speeding incident. With the cunning assistance of Bat Masquerier, a music hall owner embodying The Totally Amoral Soul and Personal Devil, the village is thrust into the spotlight. The climax arrives with the whimsical performance of the Gubby, the entirely fictitious village dance, staged in the Houses of Parliament, leaving a lasting impression. This enchanting tale can be found in Kiplings collection, A Diversity of Creatures. (Tony Addison)

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.
