Show overview
Lucy & Sam's Perfect Brains has been publishing since 2023, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 35 episodes, alongside 4 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 20 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 26 min and 34 min — 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.
There hasn’t been a new episode in the last ninety days; the most recent episode landed 5 months ago. The busiest year was 2024, with 22 episodes published. Published by Plosive.
