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.
