Show overview
The City of Man has been publishing since 2022, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 25 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 25 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 45 min and 1h 10m — 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-US-language News & Politics show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 12 episodes published. Published by Edward Song and Coyle Neal.
From the publisher
Two evangelical political theorists, one conservative and one progressive, discuss political philosophy and the politics of the day.
