Show overview
6 Minute English has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 343 episodes. That works out to roughly 35 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run under ten minutes — most land between 6 min and 7 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 Education show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 40 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2021, with 60 episodes published. Published by BBC.
