Show overview
Once launched in 2021 and has put out 16 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 2 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 4 min and 8 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 Arts show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year.
