What number format does Vancouver use for podcast citations?
Vancouver uses sequential numbering in the order sources are first cited in the text. In-text citations appear as numbers in square brackets: [1], [2], [3]. Each podcast gets a unique number the first time it is cited, and that same number is used for all subsequent citations of the same source.
Do I need a "cited" date for podcast citations in Vancouver?

How do I format host names in Vancouver podcast citations?
In Vancouver style, write the surname first followed by initials without periods or spaces between initials. Examples: "Gross T" (not "Gross, T." or "T. Gross"), "Harris S" for Sam Harris. For multiple hosts, separate with commas: "Harris S, Murray D."
