Show overview
Bitcoin Basics Help has been publishing since 2019, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 212 episodes. That works out to roughly 100 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 14 min and 36 min — 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-language Education 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 2020, with 82 episodes published. Published by BitcoinBasics.Help.
