Show overview
Key Pair has been publishing since 2024, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 27 episodes. That works out to roughly 25 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 30 min and 1h 6m — 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-US-language Technology show.
There hasn’t been a new episode in the last ninety days; the most recent episode landed 4 months ago. The busiest year was 2025, with 15 episodes published. Published by Peter Marcano and Robert.
From the publisher
