Show overview

Shelf-Medicating has been publishing since 2022, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 46 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 45 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 48 min and 1h 5m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. Roughly 48% of episodes carry an explicit flag from the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Arts show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Maddy Branum.
