Show overview
Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 221 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 160 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 38 min and 55 min — 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 show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 14 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2024, with 63 episodes published. Published by Geoff Lloyd/Sara Barron.

Physical Stoicism is my Kink
EAt the time of writing, Sara/Firecrotch-y has finished season 1 of Heated Rivalry and having cried during the penultimate episode, is now wondering if maybe the whole thing is a work of genius after all? Laughs and cries is the classic combo but cries and turn-ons? If this is the direction 2026 is going, we (I) don't hate it. Maybe the toppermost TV echelon is Sopranos, Succession, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and Heated Rivalry, but not for the dialogue, only for the wanks-'n-tears.
