Show overview
Hear That Podcast Growlin': A show about the Cincinnati Bengals has been publishing since 2019, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 474 episodes. That works out to roughly 420 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 33 min and 1h 10m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Sports show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 123 episodes published. Published by The Athletic.
