It Was A Sh*t Show
Show overview
It Was A Sh*t Show has been publishing since 2020, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 110 episodes, alongside 1 trailer or bonus episode. That works out to roughly 120 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 6th season.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 34 min and 1h 29m — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. 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 6 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2020, with 23 episodes published.
From the publisher
