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.
From the publisher
Shelf-Medicating is a happy hour meets book club podcast hosted by four best friends. Each month we release one Happy Hour episode and one Book Club episode. Our Happy Hour episodes are full of random discussions, current favs, and life updates. Our Book Club episodes focus on a single book that was picked by our Instagram followers. We discuss our likes and dislikes and give an overall rating. Thank you for listening, and trusting us to help you shelf-medicate.
