Show overview
Dean-O-Files has been publishing since 2017, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 100 episodes. That works out to roughly 100 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 48 min and 1h 6m — 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-US-language News & Politics show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 34 episodes published. Published by Dean Wisener.
From the publisher
Dean-O-Files involves friends and total strangers discussing current events, politics, economics and philosophy. If you're intimidated by these topics, don't fret. We make it approachable and fun.
