Show overview

Not Investment Advice has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 267 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 310 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 59 min and 1h 22m — 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 Business show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 19 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Bilal Zaidi, Jack Butcher, Trung Phan.
