Show overview
The Stack Podcast has been publishing since 2020, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 48 episodes. That works out to roughly 50 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 53 min and 1h 16m — 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 Technology show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 20 episodes published.
