Show overview
Trailblazer Academy has been publishing since 2015, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 181 episodes, alongside 26 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 140 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 25 min and 1h 3m — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Leisure show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 52 episodes published. Published by Caleb Garofalo.
