Show overview
The Athletic FPL Podcast has been publishing since 2018, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 224 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 110 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 25 min and 34 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 Sports show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 54 episodes published. Published by The Athletic.
