Show overview
No Gimmicks Podcast has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 140 episodes, alongside 11 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 150 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 6th season.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 51 min and 1h 16m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next.
