Genre List Manager: An Absolute Amazing Denial

Dial M for Murder won the Edgar Award as Best Play in 1953, an award named after Edgar Allan Poe and presented by the Mystery Writers of America, yet IMDb denies Mystery as a genre for the 1954 film?

What is wrong with the Genre list manager?

Again and again, accurate, objective genres are being denied. This is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. Among problems is the denial of Comedy and Drama for Horror films.

Would it be possible for IMDB to list the cast of a podcast?

Currently I am helping develop a 7-part audio play podcast, which has a fairly large cast of actors - I think it would be neat to give these volunteer actors an IMDB credit for their participation in this series, but I don't see any podcasts listed on here. I looked up "Serial" and found nothing (I
