About Written By The Rest

But instead of just presenting dry facts and figures, we use our perspective to bring these stories to life in a way that is both entertaining, educational and sometimes devastating.Whether you're a history buff looking for a new perspective, or just someone who wants to learn something new without falling asleep, Written by the Rest is the perfect podcast for you.If you want to support my podcast and get a shout out, buy me a coffee! on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/writtenbytherest Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

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.
