Show overview
John’s Newsletter has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 660 episodes. That works out to roughly 260 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 21 min and 28 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 News show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 108 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2024, with 186 episodes published. Published by John Hulsman.
