About Word.Life

Nina Simone once said that it is “an artist’s duty is to reflect the times,” when interviewed about her seminal classic Mississippi Goddamn. It is in that spirit of critical reflection that The North Star introduces Word.Life (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/word-life/id1598927589) ., a new podcast seeking to unpack the intersections of literary art, music, politics and the revolutions that are often amplified in the creative realm. Hosted by The North Star’s Chief Content Editor and poet, Donney Rose, Word.Life (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/word-life/id1598927589) . is an exploration into the lyrics, verses, messaging and context of the songs and poems and prose and scripts where the art is the heartbeat, bassline and bottom line for radical change. From the timeless classics of yesteryear to the urgent work of modern-day griots, Word.Life (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/word-life/id1598927589) . will dissect the work that lights the fire and calls the people to the frontlines.

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.
