Show overview
How to Hold a Pencil has been publishing since 2013, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 42 episodes. That works out to roughly 20 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 28 min and 33 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 Education show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 11 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2014, with 28 episodes published. Published by Reuben A. Ingber.
