Show overview
The Trading Desk has been publishing since 2018, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 100 episodes. That works out to roughly 85 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 39 min and 1h 2m — 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 Leisure show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 41 episodes published. Published by WatchBox.
