Show overview
Death & Taxes has been publishing since 2020, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 11 episodes. That works out to roughly 3 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 12 min and 18 min — 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-language Education show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 7 episodes published. Published by Brandon Ayers.
