Three Favorite Books
Exploring the World Through the Eyes of a Lover
Ian Robinson
Show overview
Three Favorite Books has been publishing since 2013, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 88 episodes. That works out to roughly 60 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 40 min and 53 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Health & Fitness show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 6.4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2013, with 33 episodes published. Published by Ian Robinson.
