Greetings, gate,
I would like to make a page for a very long-running and influential political radio that ran in the United States for about 33 years (The Rush Limbaugh Show), but given its' three decade run for a show that aired nearly every weekday, I'm very much struggling on how one would format such a page. The most similar page on the website is a page for the BBC Radio 1 program UK Top 20/Top 40 , which ran for a comparable 31 years, and that page went with a simple table chart for each year; would that be the best way to do it? I am heavily considering using this format, but I feel there are issues with doing that, namely that Top 20/Top 40 appears to have ran weekly instead of daily (meaning it only had a quarter of the episodes) meaning a simple year-by-year table might not be the most informative about which episodes are missing, and the fact that many episodes of Limbaugh's program, particularly ones done prior to late 2005 are only available in incomplete recordings, something I assume is less common with Top 20/Top 40 and would also be difficult to reflect in a year-by-year grid.
(A side note, there is also the fact that the sheer number of how many episodes were done, even prior to the 2005 launch of the podcast which made practically all episodes between 05 and the program's end in 2021 available in some format, would make such an endeavor unfeasible, but I suppose I HAVE seen other pages on this site tackle similarly unfeasible or nigh-impossible projects)
