Small shows can lock down rights without legalese. In this focused 10-minute episode PodRick leads solo hosts through a rapid Rights Audit that turns legal friction into a three-decision routine. It starts with a 30-second anonymized micro-case: a guest clip that nearly triggered a takedown and how a simple ask prevented it. Listeners get three natural on-air consent scripts (guest, clip reuse, paid mention), a one-sentence email confirmation template, a conservative music decision tree, and a sponsor-clause checklist. PodRick reads aloud a downloadable one-page release template (linked in show notes) and walks through a minimal filing convention. International-rights flags are folded into the pending-permission fallback so pacing stays tight. The episode closes with an explicit legal disclaimer (not legal advice) and a micro-challenge: run the audit on your next episode and grab the template from episode resources. Outcome: a repeatable habit to publish confidently and limit costly retro fixes.
