Show overview
Fintech Beat has been publishing since 2019, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 189 episodes. That works out to roughly 90 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 24 min and 33 min — 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-language News show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 49 episodes published. Published by CQ Roll Call.
