Smashing Podcast has been publishing since 2019, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 67 episodes. That works out to roughly 55 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 43 min and 52 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-language Technology show.
