Show overview
Kwane Poetic License has been publishing since 2019, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 11 episodes. That works out to roughly 5 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 21 min and 34 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Arts show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 5.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by kwanepoeticlicense.
