Show overview

Soul Operator has been publishing since 2023, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 33 episodes, alongside 12 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence.

Episodes typically run ten to twenty minutes — most land between 15 min and 23 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Fiction show.

There hasn’t been a new episode in the last ninety days; the most recent episode landed 7 months ago. The busiest year was 2024, with 19 episodes published. Published by Tatiana Gefter.
