    I mean, I kind of agree with that?

    I guess it depends who’s doing the podcast and whether they’re an authoritative subject matter expert on the topic. Unless the podcast cites references on its page? (I’m not a big podcast guy lol).

      The podcasts I listen to (for news) generally cite their sources verbally. And to those commenters, that’s why it didn’t count. It would have required them finding the podcast and listening to it.

      The audio equivalent of “I ain’t reading that.”

        A bit like the equivalent of pointing that the source is in a random 5000 pages book collection, IDK exactly where.

        “I ain’t reading that” is the exact response you should get if you use videos or podcasts as a source, unless it’s a specific part of it and you add the timing instructions.

        Tbh as a source anything but text with possibly limited images and video is kinda garbage. As much as people don’t like to hear it. It’s easier to store and the information is at-least searchable. Often times I find audio and video is organized much much worse and doesn’t work very good as authoritative material. Unless it’s being used as a source for quote or something someone did anyway, and only if it’s a recoding of someone making the statement / action
