Show overview
The Monastery Trapeza has been publishing since 2019, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 58 episodes. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Religion & Spirituality show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 25 episodes published. Published by Heiromonk Gabriel, and Ancient Faith Ministries.
