Show overview
The Perfume Nationalist has been publishing since 2019, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 508 episodes, alongside 200 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 640 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 8th season.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 5 min and 2h 6m — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Society & Culture show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 37 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2024, with 102 episodes published. Published by Jack Mason.
