Say you’re writing a paper about why cats knock things off tables (a burning question, I know). You find a great study by two researchers: Dr. Pat Perez and Dr. Sam Chen. In your text, you write: (Perez and Chen 23). Boom, done.

In your Works Cited, it looks like this: Perez, Pat, and Sam Chen. Why Cats Are Chaos Agents. Feline Press, 2026, p. 23. Notice the period after the authors’ names? That’s MLA being tidy.

What About E-Books or Podcasts?

Good question! The same rule applies even if your source is a podcast episode or a YouTube video. If two people created it, you list them both in the same “and” format. For example: (Garcia and Kim 12:30). Time stamps work for videos too.

The format only changes slightly if the source has three or more authors. Then you use the first author’s name followed by “et al.” (Latin for “and others”). But stick to two authors, and you’re golden.
