Show overview

The Learn French With Alexa Podcast has been publishing since 2009, and across the 13 years since has built a catalogue of 43 episodes, alongside 7 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 9 hours of audio in total. Releases follow an irregular cadence.

Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 21 min and 31 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Education show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 4.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2009, with 30 episodes published. Published by Adam Thursby.
