General Notes:
  • The hosts are credited as the 'authors'.  This is a major revision for APA 7.
  • Add the description of [Audio podcast episode] in square brackets after the title.
  • The name of the production company added before the access link.
  • Include the full podcast link.
  • The words 'Retrieved from' are no longer required before an access link for videos.  This is a major revision for APA 7.
  • Do not include a full-stop after the URL at the end of the reference.
  • APA allows for links to be either plain text or 'active'. See the official APA Style Blog for more information.

Need to quote from a video or audio content?

 

APA allows the use of a 'timestamp' for both direct quoting and paraphrasing from these sources.

Check the time that the quote starts and use that in place of a page number, e.g. (Moorhouse, 2015, 1:13:20). Here the 1:13:20 refers to 1 hour 13 minutes 20 seconds into the film, where the quote we want starts.

Hours/minutes/seconds follows the pattern H:MM:SS

Minutes/seconds follows the pattern MM:SS

Where you are only using seconds (e.g. for a short clip), use a zero at the front, e.g. 0:39 for 39 seconds.
