- What do I include when citing a podcast?
- A podcast reference usually includes the host (in the author position), the air date, the episode title, the name of the podcast or series, the production company, and a URL. APA also adds an [Audio podcast episode] bracket label and the episode number when available; MLA treats the podcast as the container that holds the episode.
- How do I cite a podcast in APA vs MLA?
- APA 7th lists the host as author with the role 'Host', the date, the episode title in italics followed by [Audio podcast episode], 'In' plus the show name, the production company, and the URL. MLA 9th starts with the host, the episode title in quotes, the italicized podcast as the container, the season/episode, the publisher, the date, and the URL. Pick the style above and the generator applies the right format.
- How do I cite a whole podcast series instead of one episode?
- To cite an entire podcast rather than a single episode, use the show name as the title, list the host(s) for the run you are referencing, give the year range, and add the URL of the show. Leave the episode title and episode number blank. Use a single-episode reference whenever you are citing a specific episode's content.
