Show overview
Parenting…With A Twist has been publishing since 2016, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 87 episodes. That works out to roughly 15 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 12 min and 21 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-US-language Kids & Family show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 7.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2016, with 59 episodes published. Published by Amber Scotchburn.
