Show overview
The Smartest Man in the World has been publishing since 2010, and across the 16 years since has built a catalogue of 555 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 790 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 14m and 1h 37m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Comedy 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 2012, with 53 episodes published. Published by Greg Proops.
