Show overview
Retrograde Amnesia: Comprehensive JRPG Retrospective has been publishing since 2019, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 387 episodes, alongside 15 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 410 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 8th season.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 56 min and 1h 8m — 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.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 3 days ago, with 41 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Chris Stone & Eric Layman.
