Show overview
Crush Step 1: The Ultimate USMLE Step 1 Review has been publishing since 2020, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 49 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 35 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 36 min and 54 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Health & Fitness show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.6 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 48 episodes published. Published by Dr. Ted O'Connell.
