Notes

  • Information on arrangement of the bibliography.
  • If there is no clear author, give the organisation providing the source as the author. 
  • If referring to comments by someone in particular, add that information as you would a pinpoint, before the url. Include the person's position if relevant or particularly if the podcast is quite long, would be to provide the minutes and seconds of the excerpt.
