Show overview
VALENCE has been publishing since 2019, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 44 episodes, alongside 7 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 20 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 27 min and 34 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-language Fiction show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 16 episodes published. Published by Hug House Productions.
From the publisher

Welcome to New Candler, cultural epicenter of the United States. | VALENCE is an Audio Verse Award-winning serialized fiction podcast meant for adult audiences.

And that’s a problem, because he and the rest of the TEAm are stranded far away from home with law enforcement, Morgan Reilley, and the entire Salvai crime family hot on their trail. They’ll need every connection they’ve ever forged, and a major shift in approach, if they’re going to save both themselves and muses everywhere.
