Show overview

The Far Meridian has been publishing since 2017, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 46 episodes, alongside 18 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.

Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 4 min and 18 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. It is catalogued as a EN-language Fiction show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 16 episodes published. Published by The Whisperforge.
