Show overview
The Arctic Institute Bookshelf Podcast has been publishing since 2012, and across the 11 years since has built a catalogue of 66 episodes. That works out to roughly 25 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 9 min and 38 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Science show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2013, with 24 episodes published.
