Podcast that is published but not as a book

[Thaer]

This topic might seem a bit strange, but I think it is very beneficial.
I am not sure about GR policy towards adding podcast, there are quite a lot of podcast that has an organized structure and forms a unity in topic and published officially as audio CD or audio cassette or through you tube, however such podcast are not books and they don't have paper copy, but they have a very good benefit.
would it be OK to add such podcast under the type of podcast?
I think it would be good for GR to consider extending the service not only for books but also for other educational media

If it is a podcast reading of a book, then it is an audiobook.

Otherwise, it does not belong on Goodreads.

what if the podcast was transferred into text version and published as PDF format only (without hard copy)? would it belong to GR now?

It would be consider as an ebook (iThink?)

So the PDF was a transcript of the lecture? That's probably still not a book by Goodreads standards.

We're definitely skating right at the edge of our definitions, though.
