Show overview
Your Own Backyard has been publishing since 2019, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 29 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 25 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 40 min and 1h 9m — 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 2.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 12 episodes published. Published by Chris Lambert.
