Hammer Time: A Hammer Horror Podcast

Show overview
Hammer Time: A Hammer Horror Podcast launched in 2025 and has put out 32 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode in the time since. That works out to roughly 50 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 11th season.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 30m and 1h 44m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-GB-language TV & Film show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 18 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Mike Muncer.
From the publisher
