Show overview
BBVA Aprendemos Juntos has been publishing since 2021, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 10 episodes. That works out to roughly 8 hours of audio in total. Releases follow an irregular cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 37 min and 58 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2022, with 8 episodes published.
From the publisher
‘Aprendemos juntos‘ is an educational project developed by BBVA to make our brand promise a reality: Creating opportunities. This initiative is also the result of a collaboration with El País and Santillana Group.
