(Un)/published Interview
If the interview has been published or broadcasted treat it like an article or a chapter in a book.
Unpublished interviews are best cited in text or in notes, though they occasionally appear in
bibliographies. Citations should include the names of both the person interviewed and the interviewer;
brief identifying information, if appropriate; the place or date of the interview (or both, if known); and, if
a transcript or tape is available, where it may be found. Permission to quote may be needed; see
chapter 4.” Here’s an example:
Benjamin Spock, interview by Milton J. E. Senn, November 20, 1974, interview 67A, transcript, Senn Oral
History Collection, National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD.
Podcast
There are multiple ways that a podcast may be cited depending upon how you access it and the
information it includes. If it is an interview you can treat it as an interview (see instructions for citing
interviews above), but should note the medium and URL if available and dates of publication. If no date
can be determined, cite the date accessed. Also cite the original date of performance if the podcast
includes an audio or visual performance.
