Fishing podcast with Josh Bertrand, Rob Vanderkooi, and Nic McMurry

100 episodesEN

Show overview

Angler's Happy Hour has been publishing since 2020, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 100 episodes. That works out to roughly 110 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 1m and 1h 10m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Sports show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 39 episodes published. Published by Fishing podcast with Josh Bertrand, Rob Vanderkooi, and Nic McMurry.
