If you’re podcasting as a business, you can’t afford to skip the legal groundwork—contracts, trademarks, and protections aren’t just red tape; they’re your safety net.
In Episode 48 of the PodcastingTech Show, we’re cracking open the playbook to help you dodge costly errors, secure your brand, and future-proof your podcast. Our Guest? Gordon Firemark—aka “The Podcast Lawyer,” who has been a guiding force in the podcasting industry for over 16 years. Whether you’re launching your first show or navigating the complexities of a growing media brand, Gordon’s legal expertise is the gold standard for podcasters seeking to protect their content, brand, and business.
Gordon Firemark isn’t just an entertainment attorney—he’s one of the first lawyers to specialize in podcasting, host of the "Entertainment Law Update" and “Legit Podcast Pro,” and the creator behind Easy Legal for Podcasters and PodcastLawForms.com, resources that help podcasters demystify the legal maze.
Join Mathew and Gordon as they break down how intellectual property, trademarks, business structures, and guest release forms can make the difference between a hobby show and a professional brand. Gordon reveals the most common legal pitfalls podcasters face at every stage and discover why AI-generated content is a legal gray area, how the DMCA protects indie creators, and what most podcasters get wrong about using copyrighted music and show titles.
