Frequently asked questions
Should I cite the host or the guest of a podcast?
Cite the host as the primary author. If the guest is particularly relevant, mention them in the in-text discussion.
How do I cite a podcast series vs a single episode?
For a single episode, include the episode title in quotes and the series name in italics. For the whole series, use the series name as the title.
