Overview
The Media Library module allows one to create Person records, which are then used as Hosts and Guests for the shows and episodes under the Media Library module. If desired, it is possible to add a dynamic Hosts page, where the Host's information can be displayed when someone wants to learn more about the host of their favorite show.
