About Who Blew Up The Guidestones?

For decades, the Georgia Guidestones were nothing more than kitschy roadside Americana…a curiosity people visited for fun, intrigue…and the occasional pagan ritual. Nicknamed “America’s Stonehenge,” the Guidestones' arrival was just as mysterious. As the legend goes, they were commissioned by a secretive funder named R.C. Christian, who wanted the stones inscribed with ten “commandments” for surviving the apocalypse. But a lot of people didn’t believe that story. Wrapped in rumors, the Guidestones became magnets for religious panic, conspiracy theories, political extremism, and online rhetoric. Over the years, the stories about the stones have continued to evolve. But something changed in 2022. the Guidestones became a flashpoint. One that resulted in a real-world act of domestic terror. It's a mystery that to this day, has never been solved. This all new podcast from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Goat Rodeo takes listeners to the small town of Elberton and on a wild ride through granite quarries, graves, cults, Confederate monuments, a swatting raid, and A LOT of explosives.

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.
