Show overview

Unexpected Points has been publishing since 2020, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 306 episodes. That works out to roughly 310 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 48 min and 1h 12m — 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 Sports show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.4 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 108 episodes published. Published by Kevin Cole.
