Show overview
Varmints! has been publishing since 2016, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 223 episodes. That works out to roughly 120 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 14 min and 46 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. It is catalogued as a EN-language Kids & Family show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 48 episodes published. Published by Peep.
