Show overview
Talk Toy To Me has been publishing since 2017, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 88 episodes. That works out to roughly 90 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 52 min and 1h 10m — 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 Leisure show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2023, with 25 episodes published.
From the publisher
A podcast that features two guys talking toy, old and new... but mostly old.
