Show overview
The UnMute Podcast has been publishing since 2015, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 74 episodes. That works out to roughly 50 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 34 min and 48 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 Society & Culture 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 2015, with 15 episodes published. Published by Myisha Cherry.
