Vague timeline of The Mystery Podcast Trio, it's messy bare with me-

Story starts in 1981 (past time period)

Stanford and Stanley reconciled earlier in life, so three years after Ford had moved to Gravity Falls, he'd reached out to Stanley and asked him to join the station, which he accepted

Fiddleford and Emma May divorced when Tate was around three, so Ford offered him a place to stay in his home. This occurred around the second year mark for Ford's stay in Gravity Falls meaning Fidds has stayed with his friend at least a year or two prior before Stan's arrival

The broadcasting system was established shortly after Stanley joined since Ford wanted to help Gravity Falls fight against the anomalies

That makes Mystery Podcast Trio's running time at least three years give or take

Story cuts off after the year 1981's events (more to be revealed in due time)

Story starts up again in 2012 (present time period)

Where we follow Mabel and Dipper Pines as they research what they can on the photograph found in grandpa Shermie's attic

It's a few weeks later that they hear the bit on the Mcgucket investigation and reach out via phone number on the video to Tate Mcgucket who's now running a fishing gear shop in the town of Gravity Falls
