Show overview
Giants of History has been publishing since 2015, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 50 episodes. That works out to roughly 25 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 25 min and 34 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. Roughly 20% of episodes carry an explicit flag from the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language History show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2015, with 17 episodes published. Published by JT Fusco.
