# Podcasts Content Surface

## Extraction Patterns

- **Tagged**: `[[podcast:p123]]` or `[[podcast_ext:Title|Host|YYYY]]`
- No pattern fallback (unlike songs) — only tags

## Edge Cases

- Duplicate prevention: key by `title|host` lowercase
- Empty: skip if title or host < 2 chars
- Year optional in external format

## looksLikePodcast (when added)

Reject when title/host looks like: news source names, documentation sites, "Bitcoin Mailing List", etc. — same philosophy as `looksLikeSong`.

## Strip Rules

- `stripPodcastTags` removes podcast tags before displaying text
