Talking about the legal side of anything can be boring, but you’ll only be thanking yourself later when you fall out with a business partner or someone decides to sue. Whether you’re just starting your first podcast or are a seasoned podcaster, it’s important to think ahead and protect yourself and your show.


Think about the cover art used for your podcast or just a specific episode, a guest or sponsor on your show, the episode scripts, and even the RSS feed. You would never want to lose these aspects of your podcast, and that’s why it’s important to take the necessary steps to keep them.


Joining Kevin on this episode of Grow The Show to answer all your burning questions is Alexia Bedat, an entertainment lawyer and podcast law expert. It’s easy to find yourself in a gray area of what’s legal and fair in the podcasting arena, so this education and advice is invaluable!


Can you use movie clips or news clips in your podcasts? Is there really a 10 second rule for using audio from this type of content? Are releases necessary for podcast guests? Tune in to learn all this and more.


Topics discussed in this episode:


  • Why entertainment law spoke to Alexia
  • The 4 main categories the GTW Facebook group is asking
  • Protecting your IP (intellectual property)
  • Using Taylor Swift’s Taylor’s Version albums as an example
  • The importance of controlling the RSS feed
  • Should podcast guests sign a release?
  • How to have clarity with sponsors and listeners
  • Understanding what is and isn’t fair use
  • Advice to new podcasters
