Show overview

Modern Wisdom has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 1,095 episodes. That works out to over 1500 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 6m and 1h 39m — 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 Society & Culture show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 58 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Chris Williamson.
