Fangirl Central
Being a fangirl is central to our identity.
Fangirl Central · Amanda and Amber Miller
Show overview
Fangirl Central has been publishing since 2023, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 54 episodes, alongside 5 trailers or bonus 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 43 min and 1h 24m — 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 News show.
The show is still active — the most recent episode landed 2 months ago, though releases have slowed compared with earlier in the run. The busiest year was 2023, with 30 episodes published. Published by Amanda and Amber Miller.
From the publisher
Hosted by lifelong fangirl sisters and comedy duo Amanda and Amber Miller, Fangirl Central asks the question, "HOW IS BEING A FANGIRL CENTRAL TO YOUR IDENTITY?"
