Once a PAX. Same as it's been for most of it's life, with just a few exceptions.
Maybe you're thinking of the C-Team, which is kind of a spinoff with Jerry as DM? That one had many seasons of weekly live play, before wrapping up the series.

The "main" AI campaign has been ongoing for over 14 years now. It started out as a podcast for three seasons, did a little alternate universe one shot and did their first live show at PAX West 2010. In 2012, they did a four episode podcast in addition to the normal PAX live shows. Then in 2013, they did another eight episode podcast between PAX West 2012/2013. Then they started playing live at East in 2014 (sans costumes). After that, just PAXes up until 2016, when they did a 12 episode video series between East 2016 and Prime 2016. They did a holiday special and a one episode podcast in 2017 (the latter of which set up the entrance of Strix into the main AI campaign). Other than a standalone video episode they did in 2018, I think that covers it.
So aside from the original podcast 14 years ago, just a handful of other stuff with multiple PAXes a year being the main focus.
But I can see the confusion if you're thinking of C-Team (aka bettershow). It did four seasons, with 30-40 episodes each. As such, they've definitely put more hours of content out there.

No I've never watched C team. It was the main crew. Probably one of the older episodes or something.
Ironically, it's the name of a pretty famous and wholesome (despite the title) DnD podcast:

Yeah, probably the AI: The Series videos, then. I think the only other main crew series filmed in their studio (rather than live or audio only) was the holiday special.
The spellcasters in those dungeons focus on Enchantment magic.
It's so famous that I've been giving the boys credit for the triple entendre; I like to think they're just that good at this.

Plus, if you watch Stranger Things and then start playing D&D, presumably that's because you found a friend who was already into roleplaying to get you onboarded. It's not exactly a game you can pick off the shelf at Target and figure out totally blind. So, the fact that your adult friend told you this game was cool and you might like it didn't convince you. But seeing children playing the game in the 80s, which to me would emphasize that it is an outdated game that is mostly for weird kids, does convince you to do it? Again, it's good that people are giving it a try. It's just a bit of a bummer that so many people (probably including myself) are more likely to be convinced to try something by a commercial than by the urging of their own friends to try it out.
I'll be honest, I didn't watch the show, and didn't even know the show had anything involving D&D in it for 4 Seasons. I didn't even attribute it to D&D's suddenly being mainstream.
When I heard things like there was a Demogorgon in it, and that was a D&D thing, but I thought that was just....y'know the 80s. They made a monster from a game popular in the 80s come to life in the show set in a paranormal version of the 80s, Okay.
Funnily enough I think WotC released a D&D starter set that was exclusively sold at Target.
I gave Cteam a several episode try and just could not get into it
For me, it had to be in podcast form. I just couldn't sit in front of the screen that much.
Same here, great way to pass the time at work. Better Show.
