Show overview
Hardcore Zen has been publishing since 2023, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 120 episodes. That works out to roughly 45 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 19 min and 25 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 Religion & Spirituality show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 5 days ago, with 35 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 78 episodes published. Published by hardcorezen.
