Gaming news you can use, with Scott Johnson
Scott Johnson
Show overview
Boop has been publishing since 2017, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 214 episodes. That works out to roughly 230 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 55 min and 1h 12m — 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 Leisure show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Scott Johnson.
