episode Defenestration artwork
Defenestration

Defenestration (from Neo-Latin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Latin] de fenestrā[1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-1]) is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window].[2] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-2] The term was coined around the time of an incident [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestrations_of_Prague#The_1618_Defenestration_of_Prague] in Prague Castle [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_Castle] in the year 1618 which became the spark that started the Thirty Years' War [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War]. This was done in "good Bohemian style", referring to the defenestration which had occurred in Prague's New Town Hall [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Town_Hall_(Prague)] almost 200 years earlier (July 1419), and on that occasion led to the Hussite war [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussite_war].[3] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-3] The word comes from the Neo-Latin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Latin][4] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-4] de- [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/de-] (down from) and fenestra [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fenestra] (window or opening).[5] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-5] By extension, the term is also used to describe the forcible or summary [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/summary] removal of an adversary.[6] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-6]

episode Moving Day artwork
Moving Day

Moving Day was a tradition in New York City [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City] dating back to colonial [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_America] times and lasting until after World War II [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II]. On February 1, sometimes known as "Rent Day", landlords would give notice to their tenants what the new rent would be after the end of the quarter,[1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)#cite_note-1] and the tenants would spend good-weather days in the early spring searching for new houses and the best deals.[2] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)#cite_note-2] On May 1 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_1],[3] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)#cite_note-3] all leases in the city expired simultaneously at 9:00 am, causing thousands of people to change their residences [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_(address)], all at the same time.[4] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)#cite_note-4][5] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)#cite_note-5]

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.
