Talk:Today Today

2 Minutes ago Chris and Craig confirmed that they often have the cricket on while they watch the show.

How do you cite a radio show? It's not likely to be useful unless your radio can be tuned backwards in time.


 * I think (just my opinion, and I would like feedback) that you should not use the radio as a source for information on the radio show's own article. Unfortunately I didn't find any guidance in the Wikipedia pages Reliable sources &Verifiability. Although there is now a link to the podcast at a source, it would make more sense to use a reliable secondary source (like a newspaper article) for information in the article. I don't think any reliable secondary sources have reported that Chris and Craig watch the cricket during their show - so the fact should not go into the article. If we were able to use the podcast, then every little detail about the show could be added to the article  - using proper sources avoids this.


 * Actually, have any reliable secondary sources reported the existence of the "Bloody Sunday" program at all? If not, then the section should be removed.


 * As a side note, the "Coma FM" sketch was mentioned in a newspaper article or two, but there doesn't seem to be the need for a separate article (Coma FM) so if I get some time I will redirect Coma FM to this article instead.


 * If anyone can think of sources to help reference this article, apart for newspapers, please mention them below.--Commander Keane 04:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I recognise the fact that secondary sources should be used. But removing the 'Bloody Sunday' section from the article is going a bit too far.  It is like denying that the segment exists.  Surely a newspaper radio guide exists somewhere that has the words "2pm Bloody Sunday with Chris Taylor and Craig Reucassel" in a really small font - although my local newspaper is notorious for not updating theirs, it probably still says Roy and HG. -- Chuq 09:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * One should not use radio for a source of information on an article about a radio show? That is absolutely absurd and does not make much sense. The first source for a radio show's article should be the radio.Planetsconspire 23:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I have also confirmed Chris and Craig enjoy listening to in the song breaks

The show is available for download by podcast on the abc website, is that not reliable enough? If not then why? Information on the show is also available from the triple j website 220.233.218.149 12:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hooray for podcasts!! I am listening to it know and was going to try and cite it. The bad thing about podcasts is that I listen to them about two weeks later. BTW before podcasts radio broadcasts could still be cited (time, date, persons, [show]~station,), and handily a lot of ABC stuff has transcripts available somewhere.--ZayZayEM 13:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
