About John Dene of Toronto; a Comedy of Whitehall

John Dene arrives in England with an ingenious invention and a mission to shake up the Admiralty. His bluntness and unorthodox approach leave the officials at Whitehall bewildered and uncomfortable, especially as he criticizes the entrenched bureaucrats who, in his eyes, owe their positions to ancestral connections rather than merit. Just when everyone is getting used to his presence, John Dene mysteriously vanishes, leaving the civilised world in shock at the £20,000 reward offered for his return. Chaos ensues as Scotland Yard is inundated with letters and visitors, questions arise in Parliament, and the government grows anxious—except for Department Z, which remains unfazed. What really happened to John Dene of Toronto? (Introduction by Author) Sequel / companion story Malcolm Sage, Detective

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.
