Show overview

The Media Show has been publishing since 2010, and across the 16 years since has built a catalogue of 853 episodes. That works out to roughly 460 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.

Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 28 min and 29 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 Society & Culture show.
