Show overview

The Business of Content with Simon Owens has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 304 episodes. That works out to roughly 220 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 35 min and 53 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language News show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 43 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Simon Owens.
