Show overview
The Brewing Network Presents | The Sour Hour has been publishing since 2014, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 120 episodes. That works out to roughly 140 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h and 1h 15m — 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 Technology show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 6.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 24 episodes published. Published by The Brewing Network.
