Talk:Podcast/Archive 9(podcasting)

split podguides from this page again
A previous discussion around the term podguides resulted in a merge with this article. Decisions were made since there wasn't enough sources I think.

However, I do think this term (coined in 2005 ) still deserves it's own page. Unlike a podcast, a podguide was a specific technique to use mp3 and aac album art in conjunction with the track number and a digital map to become, in effect, an audio tour you could take along and watch the Images during the tour. Something at that time (2005) you'd need custom hardware for. Podguides opened it up for the broad iPod using audience.

It's delivery mechanism was the same as a podcast, but the purpose and technique was not. It was picked up by several news sources and an O'Reilly book.

Recreating deleted content is uncool but I am however clueless on how to revert such a merge and I do not want this to happen without the needed conversations and opinions. But I do believe the term merits it's own proper page.

 * From the sources provided, podguides only existed briefly around 2005 and were probably only produced by one company which no longer exists. They didn't have a significant presence or leave a legacy. This almost certainly does not meet the standard of WP:Notability required for a standalone article.

Merge Discussion for Enhanced Podcast
I'm proposing that Enhanced podcast be merged into Podcast for WP:MERGEREASON numbers 2 and 3. Does anyone oppose the merge? TipsyElephant (talk) 11:02, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Support. Easy call, non-controversial. I'd suggest just making the move if you're comfortable doing so. – Broccoli &#38; Coffee  (Oh hai) 03:49, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Support merge the stub into this article. Catfurball (talk) 15:22, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Technology section?
Perhaps the article could use a section devoted to the software behind podcasting, e.g. distribution via XML-based RSS files to aggregators, the ecosystem of apps serving as streaming clients across different mobile devices, etc. I could help write it.🎶🎶 QRep2020 (talk) 23:23, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That sounds like it would be worthwhile. The only concern I see is that per WP:BALASP it should only take up a paragraph or two.  If it needs more than that it should probably go in a separate article.  Dan Bloch (talk) 02:22, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

List of examples
The list of examples for fiction podcasts appears to be arbitrary and in violation of WP:LSC and WP:NPOV. Why were these particular podcasts selected and are there any reliable secondary sources grouping them together as examples of fiction podcasts? TipsyElephant (talk) 19:54, 9 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @TipsyElephant – Stand-alone-lists are articles that are just a list (e.g. List of Linux distributions), and LSC doesn't really apply to this page per se. Also recommended to go read what WP:NPOV actually says – that doesn't apply in this particular instance either. Arbitrariness is not only perfectly fine and acceptable here, but also standard practice across the project. -- dsprc   [talk]  09:42, 23 August 2023 (UTC)


 * WP:PROPORTION states An article should not give undue weight to minor aspects of its subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject. Although WP:LSC is for stand-alond lists I think it's worth noting that it clearly states that we should Avoid original or arbitrary criteria that would synthesize a list that is not plainly verifiable in reliable sources. and an arbitrary or unsourced list of examples is not plainly verifiable as a group of fiction podcasts that are representative of fiction podcasts in general. WP:SOURCELIST which is for lists in general also states that Even if you're sure that an item is relevant to the list's topic, you must find a good source that verifies this knowledge before you add it to the list. Arbitrariness is not standard practice, the prose should summarize what reliable sources say rather than a random and unsourced selection. TipsyElephant (talk) 09:55, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I think maybe WP:NOR and WP:V are more appropriate here. I think the list should be verifiably representative of fiction podcasts rather than an unsourced list of someone's favorite shows. TipsyElephant (talk) 10:18, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I think it's also worth noting that shows like The Joe Rogan Experience or Serial are discussed in reliable sources significantly more often and there are reliable sources that actually address these podcasts' impact or influence on podcasting as a whole. JRE isn't mentioned at all in this article and Serial is only mentioned in passing in an image caption. It seems like examples such as these should be expanded on rather than lesser known fiction podcasts with minimal reliable sources. TipsyElephant (talk) 12:41, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
