Show overview
You Know What's Cool? has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 35 episodes. That works out to roughly 60 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 22m and 2h 9m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next.
