Referencing Music & Podcasts
At the end of your assignment, essay or project you must include a reference list that gives the full details of each source. The list should be in alphabetical order and include the author, composer and/or performer and publication information (if it is a published work, eg. book or magazine/journal article).
For how to handle multiple authors, see 'Referencing Books'
