Show overview
Test Match Special has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 605 episodes. That works out to roughly 390 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 32 min and 45 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 EN-language Sports show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 52 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 112 episodes published. Published by BBC.
