Show overview
Mo & Tif has been publishing since 2019, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 17 episodes. That works out to roughly 5 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 16 min and 18 min — 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-language Music show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2023, with 15 episodes published. Published by Alex Bartles.
