Show overview
Hearts Afire has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 85 episodes, alongside 9 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 20 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 10 min and 16 min — 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 Business show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 months ago, with 4 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2023, with 29 episodes published. Published by David King.
