Show overview

FRESH has been publishing since 2007, and across the 14 years since has built a catalogue of 26 episodes. That works out to roughly 6 hours of audio in total. Releases follow an irregular cadence.

Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 6 min and 17 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-AU-language Religion & Spirituality show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2007, with 10 episodes published. Published by Hope Media.
