Creating a Podcast: The "explicit" tag

Creating a Podcast: The "explicit" tag

I'm creating a podcast and while I don't intend to specifically create explicit content, I can't say for sure that there might not be an instance where I'm interviewing someone or I get a shot of a public event where something explicit might happen (i.e. a "swear word" heard off camera or one of those obscene boobies somewhere in the shot).

I hate to have the "EXPLICIT" tag placed on my podcast, but I don't want to get banned either. What are your recommendations? Should I be ultra-safe and label it "explicit" just in case or can I just label the individual episodes with the tag and just say "no" in the overall feed explicit tag?

MacBook 17" 2.33 GHz, Mac OS X (10.4.10), 3 GB RAM - Super Drive, etc.

Robbie, welcome. Nice to be prudent but this may be overkill. You can add an explicit tag to a specific podcast, for example if someone lets slip some expletive in an interview. For the most part, if your podcasts are normal, you can leave them as they are.

If you think you have to add such a tag, it might be worthwhile including something in the description (e.g. "audience comments can be overheard and may not be to everyone's tastes, so I added an explicit tag for this episode."

Glad to hear it. I'll just mark the individual episodes with "explicit" tags. Thanks for the response.

Glad to be of help. Let's hope you don't need the tags.
