Show overview
The Thing launched in 2016 and has put out 3 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 2 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 40 min and 51 min — 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-language News show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 9.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year.
From the publisher
Taylor Weech and Erika Prins Simonds talk politics, social justice and vaginas.
