Hallowed: Exploring the Lives of the Saints
Tom Thorne
Show overview
Hallowed: Exploring the Lives of the Saints has been publishing since 2022, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 38 episodes. That works out to roughly 15 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 23 min and 31 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 History show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2023, with 19 episodes published. Published by Tom Thorne.
From the publisher
Hallowed tells the stories of the great Christian saints - from ancient martyrs to adventurous missionaries, from kings and queens to ordinary men and women who devoted their lives to Christ. Each episode explores a different hero of the Church, bringing their legends to life for modern listeners and discovering what we can learn from them today.
