Show overview

Twilight Pwn: A Twilight Zone Podcast has been publishing since 2013, and across the 11 years since has built a catalogue of 190 episodes. That works out to roughly 150 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 39 min and 51 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2014, with 48 episodes published. Published by The Twilight Pwn.
