[Video podcast]. NPR.
https://www.npr.org/series/tiny-desk-concerts/
Host‘s Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial. (Host). (Year–Year). Title of podcast series
[Video podcast].
Production Company. URL
(Include the names of all hosts if a podcast has more than one host. If the series is still airing, replace the second
year with the word “present.” As of the creation of this document, Tiny Desk
is still airing.)
Video podcast episode, no episode number, viewed on a website
Boilen, B. (Host). (2020, June 15). Alicia Keys: Tiny desk concert [Video podcast episode]. In

Host‘s Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial. (Host). (Date podcast episode aired). Title of podcast episode (No. #,
if available) [Video podcast episode]. In Title of podcast series
. Production Company. URL
(If the podcast has an episode number, enter the number in Citation Maker, and “No.”– which is an abbreviation for
number – will automatically precede the number in the citation.)
Video podcast episode, two hosts, with episode number, viewed on YouTube
Tyson, N. d., & Mecurio, P. (Hosts). (2019, November 7). Cosmic queries: Planets and stuff (No.
46) [Video podcast episode]. In StarTalk.

podcast episode aired). Title of podcast episode (No. #, if available) [Video podcast episode]. In Title of
podcast series
. Production Company. URL
(APA instructs you to write the author / host’s name exactly as it is written in the source. Therefore, for Neil
deGrasse Tyson, the “d” for the middle initial is lowercase.)
NOTE: This is a YouTube video, but it is also a video podcast. Should this video be cited using Citation Maker’s
Video Podcast option or Other Online Video (YouTube) option? APA is not clear what to do in this situation. We

recommend using the Video Podcast option for several reasons. See the explanation under the citation for “Webinar,
recorded, viewed on YouTube” below.
For comparison, this is what the citation would look like if you used the Other Online Video (YouTube) option on
the Video Recording template on Citation Maker:
StarTalk. (2019, November 7). Cosmic queries: Planets and stuff
[Video]. YouTube. https://youtu.be/0F9fVq-qSD4
Webinar, recorded, one instructor, viewed on a website
May, E. (2020, April). An inside look: Native plants & pollinators
.
[Webinar]. Audubon New
York. https://ny.audubon.org/events/inside-look-monthly-birdy-webinar-series
Instructor‘s Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial. (Date posted). Title of webinar
[Webinar]. Production Company.
URL
(Use this option to cite a recorded webinar that is posted online. If you watched a live webinar that was not recorded,
do not cite it in your reference list because others cannot retrieve the information, but do mention it in your paper.
Enter the specific date from the source: the year, the month and year, or a full date.)
Webinar, recorded, three instructors, viewed on YouTube
Feliciano, S., Warnes, R., & McMaster, J. (2020, August 20). Everything you ever wanted to
know about adopting a pet
.
[Webinar]. Animal Care Centers of NYC.
https://youtu.be/P_1muNnrBrQ
Instructor1‘s Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial., Instructor2‘s Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial., &
Instructor3‘s Last Name, First Initial. Middle Initial. (Date posted). Title of webinar
[Webinar]. Production
Company. URL
NOTE: This is a YouTube video, but it is also a recorded webinar. Should this video be cited using Citation Maker’s
Webinar option or Other Online Video (YouTube) option? APA is not clear what to do in this situation. We
recommend using the Webinar option for three reasons:
1. The YouTube video is clearly labeled as a webinar. By using the Webinar option, the more specific
description [Webinar] will appear in the citation, unlike the YouTube option, for which the description
would be [Video].
2. The Animal Care Centers of NYC produced the webinar. By using the Webinar option, you will credit that
group, unlike the YouTube option, which credits the streaming service – YouTube.
3. The webinar instructors / presenters are responsible for the content. By using the Webinar option, you can
credit them, unlike the YouTube option, which credits the person or group who uploaded the video. In this
case, that would be the vague ACC NYC.
For comparison, this is what the citation would look like if you used the Other Online Video (YouTube) option on
the Video Recording template on Citation Maker:
ACC NYC. (2020, August 20). Everything you ever wanted to know about adopting a pet.
[Video]. YouTube.
