Show overview
Rule Of Three has been publishing since 2018, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 69 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 70 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 5th season.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 55 min and 1h 6m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. 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 catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2018, with 29 episodes published. Published by Joel Morris.

Comedy writers Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris talk to people who make comedy about something funny that they love. Guests pick something that makes them laugh. A book, a film, a tv show, a comic, a radio show, anything. Maybe we find out something about how comedy works, or we just giggle until we're finished. Both approaches are valid.WINNER BRITISH PODCAST AWARDS 2020: Best Arts & Culture Podcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
