Show overview
Midnight Facts for Insomniacs has been publishing since 2019, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 230 episodes. That works out to roughly 180 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 36 min and 57 min — 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 Comedy show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 4 days ago, with 27 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2020, with 47 episodes published. Published by Shane Rogers.
