Show overview
Blind Pilots Podcast launched in 2023 and has put out 19 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 20 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 55 min and 1h 1m — 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.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2024, with 15 episodes published. Published by Joe Leonardo.
From the publisher
4 writers each write only 5 pages of a 20 page pilot. But, the writers can only see the LAST page written by the previous writer. At the end of the process we will have 20 complete pages written of a brand new original story - that at least hopefully makes sense, or at most, is the beginning of the next Emmy winning TV show!
