Show overview
Bret Easton Ellis Podcast has been publishing since 2013, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 92 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 5m and 1h 19m — 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 TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 8.9 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2014, with 42 episodes published. Published by PodcastOne.
