The data of everything
Partially Derivative
Show overview
Partially Derivative has been publishing since 2014, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 101 episodes. That works out to roughly 65 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 30 min and 45 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. Roughly 36% of episodes carry an explicit flag from 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 8.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 38 episodes published.
