… styling Author pages were dominated by podcast episodes (220+ for James Petty) which appeared before any written articles because they sort by date and are more recent. Podcast episodes were also rendered with article styling (blue icon, "Read Article" button), making interviews titled "with [Guest]" look like unrelated articles about other people. - Sort written articles first, podcast episodes after, using where/append - Render podcast episodes with purple podcast styling (matching list.html) - Show separate article and episode counts in the author summary card

Wrote and ran scripts/update-podcast-authors.py to extract host and guest names from 817 podcast episode files and populate the `authors` frontmatter array, enabling the author taxonomy pages to list episodes by participant. Extraction uses four strategies in priority order: bio section headers, "Guest:" body lines, "Tonight's Guest:" title pattern, and "with Name" title fallback. Also fixes a regex bug where NOT_A_PERSON_RE lacked word boundaries on "Just", "Set", and "Get", causing Justin Grote's episodes to be skipped.

Old PowerScripting content includes ~259 announcement posts ("Up Next",
"Recording Tonight", etc.) that live in /podcast/ but have no podcast_url.
These were inflating Jonathan Walz's author page from ~327 real episodes
to 586 total items. Filter $podcasts to only pages with podcast_url set.

Problem
Author pages (e.g.
/authors/james-petty/) were showing what looked like "unrelated articles" — the page was dominated by podcast episode titles like "The PowerShell Podcast Learning PowerShell in 2026 with Tara" and "The PowerShell Podcast Zero Trust and PowerShell in K12 with Jim Tyler", which look like content about other people, not James Petty.Root cause — two issues in
layouts/taxonomy/author.html:Wrong ordering: The paginator used Hugo's default date-descending sort across all content. James Petty has 220 recent podcast episodes and only 25 written articles. Since episodes are more recent, all 22 pages of results were podcast interviews before any actual articles appeared.
Missing section-aware styling: Podcast episodes were rendered with article styling (blue file icon, "Read Article" button), so there was no visual signal that they were podcast interviews with various guests rather than articles by James Petty.
Fix
