Show overview

Fem TV has been publishing since 2021, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 100 episodes, alongside 35 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 40 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 5th season.

Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 13 min and 30 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. 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 2.8 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 52 episodes published. Published by Melissa Girimonte.
