Show overview
The Darkened Threshold has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 44 episodes. That works out to roughly 45 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 49 min and 1h 4m — 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 Leisure show.
The show is still active — the most recent episode landed 2 months ago, though releases have slowed compared with earlier in the run. The busiest year was 2025, with 20 episodes published. Published by Jason Cordova.
From the publisher
