Show overview

The NAF Physio Podcast has been publishing since 2015, and across the 11 years since has built a catalogue of 100 episodes. That works out to roughly 70 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 35 min and 50 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Health & Fitness show.

The show is still active — the most recent episode landed 2 months ago, though releases have slowed compared with earlier in the run. The busiest year was 2021, with 24 episodes published. Published by Adam Meakins.
