Show overview
The History of England - Guest Episodes has been publishing since 2011, and across the 11 years since has built a catalogue of 43 episodes. That works out to roughly 25 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 26 min and 43 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 History show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 10 episodes published. Published by David Crowther.
