Show overview
Standard Deviation Podcast has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 49 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 45 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 5th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 47 min and 1h 2m — 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 Technology show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 weeks ago, with 4 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2023, with 16 episodes published. Published by Juliana Jackson.
