Show overview

Sidetracked with Annie and Nick has been publishing since 2023, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 167 episodes. That works out to roughly 100 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 32 min and 44 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Music show.
