I think someone (hopefully not me) should build an open version of the Podchaser API as a shim that does its best to automate finding cross-show guests.
Podcasters could contribute/correct it by adding podcast:person tags linked to a medium=person feed.
Assuming the automated bit isn’t totally shit, app devs get Appearances pages across all shows on day one, and we lay the foundation to eventually deprecate it once medium=person feeds reach sufficient adoption.
