“Thanks to everyone involved” is warm, but it leaves the work behind an audio programme difficult to trace. Specific credits help listeners understand who contributed and whom to contact about a particular part.
Build the credits from roles actually performed: presenting, interviewing, recording, editing, music, translation or production support. Do not assign a grander role as a gesture of appreciation; ask contributors how their contribution and name should be represented.
Separate contribution from permission
A credit is not automatically permission to use a recording or piece of music. Keep the relevant agreements and usage terms with the production records. This article offers an editorial workflow, not a substitute for checking rights for your project.
For a small two-person episode, an accurate credit might be only two lines: who conducted the conversation and who edited the finished piece. Where responsibilities overlap, describe that directly rather than forcing everyone into a single exclusive box.
Before publication, send the proposed wording to the people concerned when appropriate. Confirm spelling, pronunciation and whether a personal website or organisation should be named. Avoid adding private contact information to public notes.
Then compare the spoken credits, episode description and any transcript. They should agree about the people and roles involved. If a correction is needed later, update the public text and record what changed so future copies do not restore the error.
