Must the CPEs for a podcast be uploaded on a per-episode basis, or can I group them together in some way?
I do not have an "official answer", but in my mind it comes down to how you would defend against an audit and ensuring the attached evidence aligns with the rest of the record.
I attended a conference that auto-submitted, which resulted in one entry for the entire conference, as opposed to one per session, so there is precedence for batching related items together. In that case, I would look for a viewing history or similar to document the time spent.
Can podcasts with <15 minute episodes even contribute to CPEs?
ISC does state in their webinars that you must watch 46 minutes for them to auto-credit you for 1 hour, so there is precedent for "rounding up". Using that logic, I suppose one could submit 15 minutes for a 1 minute podcast, but I personally feel it more defensible to round to the nearest 15 minutes and bunching a few together if needed.
The other thing to realize if that one only needs about 3/4 a CPE per week (40/year), so if the list is your normal cadence you can afford to ignore those that are too much work to document.
