Show overview

AI Weekly has been publishing since 2023, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 23 episodes. That works out to roughly 5 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.

Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 6 min and 17 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language News show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2024, with 13 episodes published. Published by Handy AI.
