Show overview
The Debrief with Dave O'Neil has been publishing since 2017, and across the 9 years since has built a catalogue of 228 episodes, alongside 8 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 140 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 30 min and 41 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Comedy show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 months ago, with 9 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2020, with 37 episodes published. Published by Del Fordham.
From the publisher
The gig's just finished and comedian Dave O’Neil drives a comedian friend home, reflecting on the highs and lows of doing stand up comedy. You’ll be transported to Dave’s station wagon as he drives home from comedy gigs and debriefs with other comics about that night’s triumphs and disasters. Produced by Nearly Media. www.nearly.com.au/thedebrief
