Show overview
Farmer's Kitchen: The Podcast has been publishing since 2022, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 100 episodes. That works out to roughly 110 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 56 min and 1h 10m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Arts show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Dubai Eye 103.8.
