Show overview
Style Guide Podcast has been publishing since 2015, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 20 episodes. That works out to roughly 15 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 35 min and 44 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.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 8.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2015, with 12 episodes published.
