Show overview
Wined Up has been publishing since 2023, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 120 episodes, alongside 4 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 80 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 4th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 38 min and 44 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 Arts show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 9 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Mike Anderson.
