Show overview
Always There has been publishing since 2018, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 43 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 35 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 42 min and 1h 1m — 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 TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2018, with 18 episodes published. Published by Joel Morris.
