Show overview
Pointed Questions with Brent Weinbach has been publishing since 2016, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 35 episodes. That works out to roughly 55 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 17m and 1h 46m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Comedy show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2016, with 10 episodes published.
