Podcast

Some thoughts for adding Podcasts into MB:

Podcast Series

usually has a abbreviation. for example "CR" for "Chaosradio" and "CRE" for "Chaosradio Express"

who is the Artist of a podcast? some podcasters use to add there personal names into the artist field.

should the moderator be the artist or connected through relationships?

Podast Issues

A single podcast should have a release Date.

a single podcast issue could have the following relationships

• artist_1 was interviewed in podcast_1 {on timestamp}
• track_1 is played in podcast_1 on timestamp {in background}
• podcast_1 timestamp refers to the following url: url
• podcast_1 timestamp refers to podcast_2 timestamp

every podcast has a url

cue sheets

A few rare podcast series come with .cue sheets for each episode, e.g. the Bitjam podcast. Because they come with a .cue sheet, it makes sense to have a tracklist for a podcast. An example in the database is this Bitjam episode: http://musicbrainz.org/release/f705c5b2-c3dc-4c2f-88e6-9c4657b329f6.html --warp.
