Show overview
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day has been publishing since 2006, and across the 20 years since has built a catalogue of 7,147 episodes, alongside 3 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 250 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a near-daily cadence.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 2 min and 2 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 Arts show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 137 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Merriam-Webster.
