Show overview

A.D. History Podcast has been publishing since 2019, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 62 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 90 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 5th season.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 9m and 1h 39m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language History show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1 year ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 24 episodes published. Published by Paul K. DiCostanzo, Patrick Foote.
