Show overview
Kumail Nanjiani's The X-Files Files has been publishing since 2014, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 57 episodes. That works out to roughly 75 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 1m and 1h 32m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 10.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2014, with 31 episodes published. Published by Starburns Audio.
