Show overview
Cinema Story Origins has been publishing since 2013, and across the 13 years since has built a catalogue of 97 episodes. That works out to roughly 180 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 23m and 2h 16m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language TV & Film show.
There hasn’t been a new episode in the last ninety days; the most recent episode landed 3 months ago. The busiest year was 2023, with 16 episodes published. Published by Paul J. Hale.
