Grey literature debates: the contribution of this podcast

We published our first episode on 8 March 2022. This episode, our 29th, marks our anniversary. In it, we discuss the contribution of the podcast, placing it in the context of other grey literature publications.In particular, we attend to the question of perspectives - those of authors/originators, managers/information scientists, and readers/consumers.We suggest that distinctive contributions of our podcast include (a) its archival function and (b) an emphasis on pragmatic aspects of the creation/origination of grey literature. The latter concern articulates with the issue of quality infrastructure. Note: the episode referred to (around 02:07) has in fact now been published: Consuming grey literature: a reader's perspective (15 Sept 2022).
