Show overview
The Pulse has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 220 episodes. That works out to roughly 180 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 49 min and 50 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-US-language Science show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 49 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 60 episodes published. Published by WHYY.
