Show overview

Of Steam, Steel and Murder has been publishing since 2009, and across the 17 years since has built a catalogue of 488 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 970 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 40m and 2h 11m — 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-US-language Leisure show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 months ago, with 2 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2012, with 51 episodes published. Published by Bert Isla.
