Les mer Our Other Stories

This is a podcast inspired by sonder*. Join your host, Madeleine Longoria Garcia, as she navigates deep-dive conversations that cut through the small talk and get into the stories that make us who we are. In an effort to re-humanize the strangers we pass every day and learn more than what is covered on resumes and social media, it's time to start sharing Our Other Stories. *Sonder is the feeling one has on realizing that every other individual one sees has a life as full and real as one's own. Coined in 2021 by John Koenig in The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
