Tag for related episodes (<podcast:relatedEpisode>)

In a podcast I participate, we often list in the show notes, of a given episode, other episodes from the same podcast, that are related to the same topic.

With a tag to list related episodes, clients could show already the option to download or add these episodes to the playing queue.

A syntax for the tag could simply be:

<!-- tag can be multiple -->
<podcast:relatedEpisode guid="[ep guid]"/>
<podcast:relatedEpisode guid="[e p guid]">[comment on why it is related]</podcast:relatedEpisode>

To a certain extent this could be covered with <podcast:recomendations> (#205), but I feel this could be self contained in the feed without too much cluttering, without delegating to an external resource.

PS: I don't have strong feelings about it, but I thought it would be good to have it documented for discussions.

If this is "tagging" other episodes your talking about inside an episode, maybe it's kinda in the scope of #180 : tagging content you talked about inside an episode. I had in mind movies, music, TV shows etc and a whole podcast, but tagging another episode of the same feed seems useful too.

Been thinking a lot about this today, and also #180 . What were really talking about, it seems, is structured show notes. I think this could really benefit from a bigger group discussion. I have it marked down as a show topic and I’m going to bring it up on podcastindex.social.
