Show overview

Can I Just Say has been publishing since 2017, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 38 episodes. That works out to roughly 55 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 1h 11m and 1h 42m — 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 6.5 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2018, with 20 episodes published. Published by Common Room Radio.
