Show overview
Short Wave has been publishing since 2019, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 1,555 episodes, alongside 3 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 330 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a near-daily cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 11 min and 14 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Science show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 146 episodes already out so far this year. Published by NPR.
