Show overview
Monster has been publishing since 2018, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 90 episodes, alongside 18 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 60 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 6th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 33 min and 47 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. Roughly 31% of episodes carry an explicit flag from the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language True Crime show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 19 episodes published. Published by iHeartPodcasts.
