A podcast interview as published material — did it count?

Was interviewed on a well-regarded industry podcast and wasn't initially sure whether audio content counted the same way a written article would under the published-material-about-you criterion. Sharing what I learned. The regulation's language covers "professional or major trade publications or other major media," and "other major media" is broad enough to reasonably include audio and video content, not just print — the underlying question is the same one that applies to any published material: is this a legitimate, significant media outlet, and is the content genuinely focused on you and your work, not just a passing mention. What I made sure to document: the podcast's actual standing and reach in the field (subscriber or download numbers if available, its general reputation among practitioners), and a transcript or clear summary of the segment specifically discussing my work, since an audio file alone is harder for a reviewer to quickly assess than a written transcript excerpt would be.
