Show overview
Query launched in 2017 and has put out 46 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 25 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 29 min and 42 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 Technology show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 7.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Relay.
