Show overview

The Show Must Go On has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 47 episodes. That works out to roughly 40 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a monthly cadence, with the show now in its 3rd season.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 41 min and 1h 7m — 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 Comedy show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 4 weeks ago, with 3 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2023, with 17 episodes published. Published by Abby S.
