Show overview
Dear Chelsea has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 330 episodes, alongside 69 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 270 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 7th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 47 min and 1h 1m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 31 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 81 episodes published. Published by iHeartPodcasts.
