Julian Smith & Andrew Rader
Show overview
Spellbound has been publishing since 2018, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 105 episodes. That works out to roughly 85 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 39 min and 53 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 History show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 6.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2018, with 52 episodes published. Published by Julian Smith & Andrew Rader.
