Notes in Spanish Intermediate
Notes in Spanish Intermediate · Ben Curtis
Show overview
Notes in Spanish Intermediate has been publishing since 2006, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 46 episodes. That works out to roughly 8 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 10 min and 12 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a ES-language Education show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 18.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2007, with 29 episodes published. Published by Ben Curtis.
