In this episode, I answer a listener question about whether you need to get your podcast guests to sign a release form when they appear on your show.
While consent forms are common in the television industry, podcasting is still a bit of a legal grey area.
So, what’s best practice?
I explain how consent is usually implied, when you might need a signed form, and the simple steps you can take to protect yourself without adding extra admin to your workflow.
🎧 What You’ll Learn:
Please note that I am NOT a lawyer so this episode should not be taken as legal advice.
I'm just sharing what happens in practice but if you want to protect your show you should always discuss your options with someone who actually finished their law degree (I did not).
