Bizarre States
Jessica Chobot, Andrew Bowser, Nerdist Industries · Nerdist Industries
Show overview
Bizarre States has been publishing since 2017, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 100 episodes. That works out to roughly 95 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 54 min and 1h — 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 Comedy show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 7.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2018, with 60 episodes published. Published by Nerdist Industries.
