Show overview
Dern After Reading launched in 2020 and has put out 53 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 75 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 14m and 1h 31m — 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 TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year.
