The Guardian’s Brexit Means ... has been publishing since 2016, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 82 episodes. That works out to roughly 45 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 24 min and 40 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. It is catalogued as a EN-GB-language News & Politics show.

From the publisher
We delve into the nitty gritty of Brexit and try to make some sort of sense of it, bringing you episodes as and when you need them. We’ll be hearing from Britons and Europeans, leavers and remainers, politicians and ordinary people, economists, businessmen, lawyers, researchers, campaigners and many more about what Brexit means for them, for the UK and for the EU, how it might work – and how it might not. It's a podcast that can’t get enough of experts ... and we want to hear from you too
