Show overview
The Liturgy Guys has been publishing since 2016, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 264 episodes, alongside 3 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 160 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 7th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 32 min and 40 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Religion & Spirituality show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 47 episodes published. Published by Benedictine College.
