Shadow Realm
Reenita Malhotra Hora | SpokenLayer
Show overview
Shadow Realm has been publishing since 2021, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 57 episodes, alongside 16 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 7 min and 12 min — 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-language Kids & Family 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 2023, with 28 episodes published. Published by Reenita Malhotra Hora | SpokenLayer.
From the publisher
A San Francisco teenager finds out he has magical powers after falling through a fault in the earth and into the lands of Vedic mythology, and in Season 2, he learns his journey is far from over. Can Arya save his friends, or will his power plunge them deeper into danger?
