Show overview

Reality Hacker launched in 2024 and has put out 82 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 70 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 37 min and 1h 9m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language News show.

There hasn’t been a new episode in the last ninety days; the most recent episode landed 9 months ago. Published by HATCHideas.
