Show overview
Investigating has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 124 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 190 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 6th season.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 20m and 1h 49m — 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-US-language TV & Film show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 4 days ago, with 14 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2024, with 41 episodes published. Published by Sarah Watson & Lea Nasrallah.
