Show overview
On The Other Side has been publishing since 2021, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 100 episodes. That works out to roughly 70 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 34 min and 52 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Technology show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2023, with 39 episodes published. Published by Chase Chapman.
