Show overview

The Immortals has been publishing since 2015, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 280 episodes, alongside 26 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 330 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 55 min and 1h 28m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2016, with 53 episodes published. Published by The Art Immortal.

In the circus we have Dumbo and in the political circus we have dummies. The Immortals watch the 1942 Disney classic as well as one of Austin's favorite movies, 2009's In the Loop. It's not just because The Doctor swears up a storm in it, but it helps. Note -- Something went wrong with the Chicago audio and we apologize for the lesser quality. J.C., as always, sounds great.
