About Why Tho? The Podcast

Why Tho? The Podcast goes behind the scenes of Lizzy Acker's advice column for The Oregonian/OregonLive. Listen each week as Lizzy and producer Destiny Johnson dig into reader questions and dilemmas. Look for the Why Tho? column every Tuesday, podcast every Thursday and a daily advice newsletter that also includes advice from Dear Abby, Ask Amy and others at oregonlive.com/newsletters. Find Lizzy's past advice columns at oregonlive.com/whytho. About Lizzy:  Lizzy Acker is a reporter on the Life & Culture team and the author of the advice column, "Why Tho?" She covers everything from ice cream to Oregon's legal psilocybin program to car-less travel. She was born in Oregon and began her journalism career in high school as a writer for the Corvallis Gazette-Times' teen page, "Hardly Minor." Her book of short stories, "Monster Party," was published in 2010.    About Destiny: Destiny Johnson is a three-time Regional Murrow Award-winning social media producer at The Oregonian/OregonLive. She started her career in television journalism in her home state of Florida before moving to the Portland NBC affiliate station KGW. She has been at The Oregonian/OregonLive in 2022. She now focuses on nerd-centric and community-based stories. She earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism with a focus in photography from the University of Florida in 2016. She also thinks it’s weird to write about herself in third person but likes plants, crocheting and hanging out with her dog when she’s not doing the journalism thing.

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.
