Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
The usual rule for namespaces is the first-serve basis. When a work started under a specific format and is later adapted, it still keeps the original namespace (unless both the original and the adaptation get their own pages).
That's why a lot of anime are under the Manga/ or LightNovel/ namespace and not Anime/. Or Web comics that were later published stay in Webcomic/ and are not changed to ComicBook/.
In your example, the work should stay in Podcast/ even if it becomes an Artifact Title.

Death By Cliche was a story initially told in Podcasts, getting only 3 wicks
, but now it's been published, with the podcast version basically gone from the net.
So, we should use Literature for it, and possibly don't even have Podcast.Death By Cliche as a redirect, since there's been no inbounds anyway, and will be unused?
Although, there is some record of tropes only for the Podcast, such as in the Doomy Dooms of Doom example, Previously on… and such:
- Death by Cliché has Convenient Plot Exposition Man, a one-shot NPC who gives the party the adventure hook for the main quest, before collapsing and apparently dying from the effort of screaming DOOOOOOOOOM! so much and so hard. His catchphrase is used as a Credits Gag, as well as a Running Gag on the remaining episodes' Previously on….
