a thing I learned

[marcicat]

Apparently there is no widely recognized podcast rating system. Several episodes I’ve listened to have the itunes red E, but vary on whether the “explicit language” is bleeped out or presented as-is.

And then there’s the pre-podcast warnings on content, which tend to offer vague ‘this podcast contains content which may not be suitable for young children’ messages. Which is — not super helpful?

Something that would be awesome: let’s get some AO3-style tag clouds going so I can know exactly what kind of content I’m going to find. More creator-generated tagging, less oversimplified (or nonexistent) rating structure!
