Show overview
Foodie Films has been publishing since 2018, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 101 episodes. That works out to roughly 140 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 11m and 1h 36m — 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 TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 5.4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 49 episodes published. Published by Kyle Reinfried.
