How do I format an in-text citation for a podcast in APA style?

In general, the in-text citation in APA includes only the last name(s) of the contributors (or authors) and the publication year. The contributor for an audio, video, or audiovisual work depends on the type of media. For a podcast, the last name of the host or the executive producer should be used in the author’s place. Therefore, to cite a podcast in an in-text citation,  include the last name(s) of the host(s), or executive producer(s), and the year. If you cite a podcast series, include the beginning and the ending year of the podcast with a dash between the dates (Green, 2000-2020).

Below are templates and examples of how to format an in-text citation for a podcast in APA:

Format

Narrative: Host’s Surname/Executive Producer’s Surname (Year)

Parenthetical: (Host’s Surname/Executive Producer’s Surname, Year)

Example

Narrative: Raymond (2018)

Parenthetical: (Raymond, 2018)

How do I format a reference list entry for a podcast in APA style?

An APA reference list entry for a podcast should include the following elements: name of the podcast’s host(s), their role (in parentheses), the publication date of the episode (or span of years the podcast aired, if citing the podcast as a whole), the title of the podcast and the specific episode being cited, the episode number, a description of the podcast (in square brackets), production company, and URL (if available).

Note that the specific episode title should not be listed in quotation marks or italics. The title of the podcast, however, should be italicized in your citation.

The below template and example show how to cite a podcast episode in a reference list in APA style.

Template

Host’s Last Name, First Initial. (Host). (Publication date). Episode title (Season #, Episode #) [Audio podcast episode]. In Podcast title. Production Company. URL

Example

Imperioli, M., & Schirripa, S. (Hosts). (2021, December 20). Made in America (No. 91) [Audio podcast episode]. In Talking Sopranos. Podjams. https://talkingsopranos.simplecast.com/episodes/episode-91-made-in-america-rkatzv_y
