Show overview
Willamette Common Law has been publishing since 2023, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 12 episodes. That works out to roughly 6 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 12 min and 43 min — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Education show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 4 episodes already out so far this year. Published by Stephanie Davidson.
