Show overview

This Is TASTE has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 801 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 750 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 44 min and 1h 7m — 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 Arts show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 2 days ago, with 89 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 192 episodes published. Published by Matt Rodbard.
