RISK!
Show overview
RISK! has been publishing since 2002, and across the 24 years since has built a catalogue of 1,209 episodes, alongside 11 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to over 1000 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 17th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 39 min and 1h 7m — 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 Arts show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 3 days ago, with 55 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2024, with 127 episodes published.

Your colorful host Kevin Allison (of the legendary comedy group The State) helms this surprisingly uncensored show where people tell jaw-dropping true stories they never thought they'd dare to share in public. RISK! is hilarious, heart-wrenching and remarkably real. Think you've heard it all? Fasten your seatbelt.
