Hockey 2 Hell and Back
Brady Leavold
Show overview
Hockey 2 Hell and Back has been publishing since 2020, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 195 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 280 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 18m and 1h 39m — 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-language Sports show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 73 episodes published. Published by Brady Leavold.
