Show overview

Whispers In The Basement has been publishing since 2023, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 38 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 30 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 36 min and 51 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language True Crime show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2024, with 28 episodes published. Published by Ashley and Lauren.
