Show overview
Murder On The Space Coast has been publishing since 2016, and across the 9 years since has built a catalogue of 89 episodes, alongside 16 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 40 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence, with the show now in its 6th season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 21 min and 30 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-US-language News show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 20 episodes published. Published by Gannett Media / Consumer Products.
From the publisher
An unsympathetic victim, a prosecutor's conviction playbook, a missing mother of two and a tale of lie after lie after lie. Across four seasons, Murder on the Space Coast has explored each of these heartbreaking true-crime stories based in Central Florida.
