Show overview

Not Your Average Fairy Tale has been publishing since 2020, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 18 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 15 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 36 min and 55 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. Roughly 28% of episodes carry an explicit flag from the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Kids & Family show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 9 episodes published. Published by The Sledges.
