Show overview

Pitch, Please has been publishing since 2020, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 116 episodes. That works out to roughly 120 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 6th season.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 50 min and 1h 3m — 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 Leisure 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 2020, with 46 episodes published. Published by Pickaxe.

From the publisher
