Show overview
Outliers has been publishing since 2017, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 127 episodes. That works out to roughly 80 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 29 min and 45 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 5.9 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 46 episodes published. Published by Outliers with Pankaj Mishra.
From the publisher
A podcast about the ones who chose to take the road not taken often. It’s about the crazy and the curious. Those that dared to stand out, and stand alone. It’s about their journey through hope and disillusionment, failures and pitfalls, joy and success, pain and bliss. It’s a candid exploration of experiences and ideas that have driven some of the shining stars, told as is. Produced by Anand Murali
