Show overview
The Science of Happiness has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 358 episodes, alongside 4 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 95 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 6th season.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 9 min and 20 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Science show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 45 episodes already out so far this year. Published by PRX and Greater Good Science Center.
