Show overview
The Joy of Aquatics has been publishing since 2019, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 95 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 20 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 5 min and 25 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Sports show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 53 episodes published. Published by thejoyofaquatics.
