Show overview
Eclectic Tech has been publishing since 2020, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 136 episodes. That works out to roughly 40 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 19 min and 22 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Steve Ford, WB8IMY.
