Show overview
Russell Howard’s Five Brilliant Things has been publishing since 2023, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 166 episodes, alongside 11 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 170 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 58 min and 1h 4m — 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 Comedy show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 5 days ago, with 41 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 60 episodes published. Published by Avalon.
