Show overview

The Smart 7 has been publishing since 2020, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 2,165 episodes, alongside 30 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 350 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a near-daily cadence.

Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 7 min and 9 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-language News show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 132 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Daft Doris.
