That’s more than one-third of us! If you currently have a podcast, or are working on starting a podcast to gain awareness for your business/brand, (or even just for fun) there’s some *really* important legal issues you need to be aware of:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
• Make sure any images/clips/songs/recordings, etc. you are using aren’t infringing on someone’s copyright.⁣⁣
⁣
• Get permission (by way of a contract) from everyone you interview/ have as co-host/ have as a guest. ⁣⁣
⁣
• If your podcast has ads/sponsors/etc. make sure your tax & licensing paperwork is in order - you’re possibly making $$$ and you’ll need to make sure your filings are squared away. ⁣⁣
⁣
• Be mindful of your content. The first amendment offers free speech, but that doesn’t mean you can’t say certain things without consequences. ⁣⁣
