Show overview

The Un-Diplomatic Podcast has been publishing since 2019, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 324 episodes. That works out to roughly 270 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 39 min and 1h 1m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. 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 show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 45 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 65 episodes published. Published by Van Jackson.
