Show overview
Occult Disney: Exploring the Hidden Mysteries Behind Mickey has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 169 episodes, alongside 27 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 220 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 8m and 1h 32m — 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 Leisure show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 31 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 62 episodes published. Published by Matthew G. Comegys.
