I have recently added a few episodes of a podcast: Hey Riddle Riddle
It seemed most natural to create a new artist and then add the hosts (Erin Keif, John Patrick Coan, and Adal Rifai) as members, as they operate as a “unit”.
I am keen to hear opinions on creating the group vs adding the three hosts as separate artist credits instead.
The Podcast styleguide includes an example that implies that this would be the way to go: Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers, which has Tom Magliozzi and Ray Magliozzi as members of a “group”.
However we shouldn’t read to much into that example, because as far as I can remember (being involved in the guideline creation) this detail was never discussed/considered when picking them as an example.
It felt natural to add Hey Riddle Riddle as a group, and I would instinctively search for them as an artist. It matches how we credit some comedy groups/releases - but it doesn’t match how we would credit a show like “Dr Who” (perhaps not the best example, but hopefully you understand what I mean).
I think this topic deserves some group discussion, as this is going to come up a lot for podcast shows/hosts/groups. Thanks in advance for any input
