Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
In this interview with Kalli Anderson and Eleanor McDowall, they explain the reason for their new project called A Library out of Air. Through a mass Wikipedia edit they are asking the radio and podcast community to inscribe a history and vocabulary of the medium, which has so long gone been ephemeral and under-recognised. Wikipedia is one of the most consulted sources on the internet and often comes top of search results and AI queries on any topic. Yet some of the most important genres and influential figures in the history of audio media have no Wikipedia page. In this conversation, they describe the origins of the project, the importance of citations for demonstrating notability, of hyperlinks for discoverability and name some of the most surprising gaps in radio and podcasting on Wikipedia - the search terms that result in the error message 'The article you're looking for doesn't exist'.
