Show overview

SPECTRE has been publishing since 2017, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 30 episodes. That works out to roughly 85 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.

Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 2h 31m and 3h 16m — 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 Comedy show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 5.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2018, with 10 episodes published. Published by Mark Beall.
