Need Rules for Shownotes inclusion

[lethargilistic]

My obsessive tendencies come out when I do creative work, and this has lead to the massive show notes section on each podcast episode. To be clear: I love doing the shownotes and they will continue to be a source of comedy and edification, but I need rules to limit/focus the content more and cut down on drafting time.

I will think about these rules in more depth later, but this issue is for reifying the fifth member of our podcast team: Jenevieves. Or the Four-Point-Fifth, if you prefer.

To get these off my mind:

• If an 18-year old with an interest in technology would know the company name, then linking to their website is prohibited. Example: Amazon, Microsoft
• If the topic is a common vocabulary like a sport like football, it's not necessary. Specific concepts from those sports are allowed. Like a touchdown from football.
• If the topic is the topic of the segment, then it is always allowed. If we're talking about Amazon, I link to Amazon regardless of other rules.

A limit of how many lines the file can be before I must consider cuts. ~200 is probably low enough to be a useful barrier.

Do not name the authors of random internet articles. Ideally, they would be present, but it's a step that adds an underestimated amount of time.

Do name the author of the article being discussed directly. Perhaps also major works discussed within. Authors of books? Directors of films? Just not the numerous random articles that illustrate points we talk about.
