Show overview
Snake & Banter has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 128 episodes. That works out to roughly 250 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 43m and 2h 10m — 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 Leisure show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 26 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 39 episodes published. Published by Last Free Nation.
From the publisher
Snake & Banter is a Counter-Strike talk show, hosted by Duncan "Thorin" Shields and Alex "Mauisnake" Ellenberg, themed around each individual selecting a good, bad and ugly topic to discuss.
