Show overview
The Boghouse has been publishing since 2019, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 27 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 30 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 56 min and 1h 15m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Arts show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 24 episodes published. Published by Matt and Melissa Dunphy.
From the publisher
Matt and Melissa Dunphy buy a magic theater from a pedophile, discover treasure, and become accidental amateur archaeologists.
