Show overview
Science Fiction Book Review Podcast has been publishing since 2024, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 61 episodes. That works out to roughly 55 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 46 min and 1h 10m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Arts show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 18 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Luke Burrage.
From the publisher
