About Why do we need a public library?

The Internet Archive, which hosts our audiobooks, is currently running its annual fundraising campaign while launching an initiative to establish a mirror site in Canada, ensuring access for all users. The Internet Archive is a treasure trove, boasting millions of public domain books, audio recordings, films, radio shows, and other media. Additionally, they maintain an open library of copyrighted works that can be checked out by members with a virtual library card. This collection explores the vital role of public libraries, inspired by an essay from Chalmers Hadley, which will be featured as the first entry in this audiobook. The remainder of the collection draws from Project Gutenbergs curated library selections, comprising solo essays and chapters from notable books on library science and culture. Im also open to including up to five chapters or short works from the list of banned books available on Project Gutenbergs site to highlight the importance of public libraries. - Summary by Matt Pierard

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.
