Audio Drama eligible?

Hello,

I just came across the main page for "Holy Klassiker: Hörspielserie (TV Series) [transl. Holy Classics: Radio Drama Series] (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8620040/).


It is a German audio drama series with 61 episodes listed.


I wonder if have missed something. Are 'audio only' works now also eligible for listing in the IMDb when referenced as 'TV Series'?


I noticed that adult web episodes are listed as tv series. But it is video and appropriately marked as adult. So only the category 'tv series' is misleading.


But audio drama?

It’s true that it currently says podcasts, but not radio plays, serials or other drama productions. I haven’t read any announcements from IMDb.

Podcast is a relatively new format. Radio drama has been there at least from the 1920s.

Incidentally, we really need the option of labeling something as just a "series," not specifically a TV series. I'm sure the staff is already aware of that, but I hope the change comes soon. It's just too confusing having audio podcasts and YouTube series labeled "TV series."
