Show overview
MOONFACE has been publishing since 2019, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 8 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 3 hours of audio in total. Releases follow an irregular cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 22 min and 26 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 Fiction show.
There hasn’t been a new episode in the last ninety days; the most recent episode landed 11 months ago. The busiest year was 2019, with 6 episodes published. Published by Overtones Media.
