Show overview
Rubber Duck Dev Show has been publishing since 2021, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 117 episodes. That works out to roughly 100 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 47 min and 1h — 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 Technology show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 45 episodes published. Published by [email protected] (Chris & Creston).
