Show overview
Hwat?! Weekly has been publishing since 2024, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 79 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 85 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 58 min and 1h 11m — 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 Comedy show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 21 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 41 episodes published. Published by Business Goose Media.
From the publisher
Do you have a partner that works too much? Well, Joe certainly does, which is why he decided to make "Hwat?! Weekly!", a weekly recap show where Joe updates his workaholic wife, Finlay on anything interesting that happened in the past week (with a strict "no politics, no pop culture" mandate)."Hwat?! Weekly!" Is a new show hosted by Joe Fisher (Creator of the podcast Midnight Burger) and Finlay Stevenson (co-producer of Midnight Burger and audiobook narrator and director). It's a show about trying to stay connected to the weird, joyous, and sometimes maddening things in the world, and about two very busy people trying to stay connected with each other.© Business Goose Media, LLC
