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.

We're talking the saints. We're concluding the USCCB document on The Mystery of the Eucharist in the Life of the Church. It concludes with sanctity and holiness.
