Show overview

defn has been publishing since 2016, and across the 10 years since has built a catalogue of 110 episodes. That works out to roughly 150 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 12m and 1h 35m — 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-language Technology show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 3 months ago, with 2 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2016, with 16 episodes published. Published by defn podcast.
