Show overview
Read On - The Audiobook Show from RNIB has been publishing since 2017, and across the 9 years since has built a catalogue of 521 episodes, alongside 60 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 450 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 58 min and 58 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Arts show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 days ago, with 37 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2018, with 98 episodes published. Published by RNIB Connect Radio.
