Show overview
NPR's Mountain Stage has been publishing since 2013, and across the 13 years since has built a catalogue of 344 episodes. That works out to roughly 790 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 2h 15m and 2h 30m — 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-language Music show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 weeks ago, with 6 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2021, with 37 episodes published. Published by West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
From the publisher
The Mountain Stage Podcast is the complete recording of the entire live show. It features songs that were cut from the radio broadcast, and it is the only place you can hear the full finale song. New episodes become available about 10 days after the premiere broadcast date. We have Spring and Fall seasons of new broadcasts, so if you heard a recent show but don’t see it at the top of the feed, just scroll back a few weeks or use the search function to find a specific artist.
