Show overview
The Traneumentary launched in 2006 and has put out 35 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 4 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 6 min and 9 min — 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 Music show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 18.8 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2007, with 34 episodes published. Published by Joseph Vella.
