Show overview
Punching Sideways has been publishing since 2018, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 136 episodes. That works out to roughly 90 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 26 min and 50 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. Roughly 38% of episodes carry an explicit flag from the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Comedy show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 38 episodes published. Published by Josh Liston & Mel Naismith - Albury-Wodonga.
From the publisher
