Show overview
Swiftish: A Taylor Swift Podcast has been publishing since 2017, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 167 episodes. That works out to roughly 170 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 54 min and 1h 6m — 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 Society & Culture show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2023, with 32 episodes published. Published by Shelby and Ashley.
