Show overview
First Ring Daily has been publishing since 2022, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 300 episodes. That works out to roughly 60 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a near-daily cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 10 min and 14 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-US-language News show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2023, with 195 episodes published.
From the publisher
