We like it, but is it legitimate?
Legitimate Likes
Show overview
Legitimate Likes has been publishing since 2021, and across the 5 years since has built a catalogue of 225 episodes, alongside 5 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 240 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 5th season.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 57 min and 1h 11m — and the run-time is fairly consistent 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 Comedy show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 6 days ago, with 28 episodes already out so far this year.
