Show overview
The Hacker Chronicles has been publishing since 2021, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 28 episodes, alongside 6 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 15 min and 26 min — 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-language Fiction show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 14 episodes published. Published by Tenable.
