Show overview
The Cipher has been publishing since 2020, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 12 episodes. That works out to roughly 5 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 26 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 Fiction show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.9 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 7 episodes published. Published by BBC.
