Show overview

American Loser Podcast has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 253 episodes. That works out to roughly 330 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 7m and 1h 29m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Comedy show.
