Show overview
Warda has been publishing since 2017, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 128 episodes. That works out to roughly 100 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 5th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 41 min and 56 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 Leisure show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 6.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 64 episodes published. Published by Whimsy & Artifice.
From the publisher
In a distant age, magical beings known as the fey stepped from their dying world into this one, benevolently conquering the lands and its people. Now, some 4000 years later, the great City of Ammingrad is a thriving metropolis, melding magic, machines, and magnificence in every aspect. Fey society flourishes in luxury, while humans toil and strive to survive. The vast city spans nearly an entire continent, surrounded by an impenetrable Barrier wall. The city holds thousands of stories. What will yours be? Welcome to Warda.
