Many websites compile yearly lists of the best podcasts, which can be comparable to an annual award and help establish the notability of a podcast. Because these are not explicitly awards with easily navigable websites it can be difficult to locate some of the articles—especially older lists—therefore a selection of these articles are included here. However, Wikipedia is not a repository of external links and these lists should be kept to a minimum. The criteria for inclusion is that the source in question must have demonstrable reliability, at least three consecutive annual lists, and a typical entry should be at least 100 words of prose. The title of the article should emphasize the year and should not specify any genre. For instance, the most common title should be "The best podcasts of insert year". Galleries or slideshows should generally be avoided even if the source meets the above criteria. The quality and length of articles can vary from year-to-year, but as long as a few articles from a specific source meet the expectations the rest can be included as a set. Many websites do both a mid-year and end-of-year list—often times with titles like "The best podcasts of insert year (so far)" and "The best podcasts of insert year". The mid-year lists use the suffix H1 for the first half of the year, while end-of-year lists use the suffix H2 to indicate the second half of the year.
