Managed to get some dead tree sources for notability inclusion. Neil has an essay in The Atheist's Guide to Christmas on the origins of the radio show and podcast, so may cite that too. Skeptic sid (talk) 15:30, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

List
The list is too long vertically - should use more than one column. It should also be shortened, e.g. removing those people who don't have their own article for a start (but even then it's unnecessarily long and probably better presented as prose). Richard001 (talk) 06:12, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Past guests
Is a list this long really useful? (moved to talk) RJFJR (talk) 18:57, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I've shortened the list and added some background to make it viable. I don't think it should get too long, c.f. just writing down the list as below. I've also reverted an edit which removes the iTunes reference. I think it is important it's used as a guide to popularity, unless someone can think of another way of gauging the popularity of a podcast via a "unbiased" way? 82.44.18.216 (talk) 15:39, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
