Show overview
The Chicken Chess Club has been publishing since 2022, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 79 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 100 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 8m and 1h 22m — 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 2.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2023, with 38 episodes published. Published by Jan Gustafsson, Laurent Fressinet & Peter Heine Nielsen.
