About Zanzibar Tales

Step into the enchanting world of Zanzibar Tales, where adventure and whimsy intertwine in a vibrant tapestry of folklore. Travelers often overlook the extraordinary creatures of Africa—those gifted with the power of speech, like wise gazelles who oversee native princes or daring hares with a taste for flesh. These tales, passed down through generations of storytellers in Zanzibar, offer a glimpse into a reality that blurs the lines between the mundane and the magical. As civilization advances, these remarkable beings may soon be as lost to history as the long-extinct ichthyosaurus or dinornis. The origins of these stories lie with the ancestors who first shared them, and while they may seem far-fetched to some, they invite us to wonder about the hidden wonders of our world. Join us as we explore the brilliance of Goso, the Teacher and other captivating narratives that challenge our understanding of storytelling itself.

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.
