Show overview
Chinese Lore Podcast has been publishing since 2014, and across the 12 years since has built a catalogue of 475 episodes. That works out to roughly 210 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 4th season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 26 min and 29 min — 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 Arts show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 20 episodes already out so far this year. Published by John Zhu.
