Show overview
Monstrous Agonies has been publishing since 2020, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 131 episodes, alongside 18 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 35 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 14 min and 18 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 Fiction show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 46 episodes published. Published by H.R. Owen.

From werewolves in the doghouse to new ghouls at work, there's no problem too strange for this weekly advice segment, from the UK's only dedicated radio service for the creature community. Brought to you by Monstrous Productions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
