For Podcasters — Promise Legal Insights

Insights for Podcasters

Every episode is a bundle of rights. Own yours.

A podcast accumulates legal surface with every episode: guest appearances that were never released, music that was never licensed, a co-host arrangement that was never written down, and sponsorship deals where the details — exclusivity, usage rights, makegoods — are where the money actually is. The informality is invisible until the show succeeds, a guest objects, or a network offer arrives and diligence asks who owns the feed.

This hub is for podcasters and audio creators at every stage — independent shows, co-hosted ventures, and creators fielding network and exclusivity offers. Recurring themes: guest releases that protect the back catalog, music licensing without the takedown, FTC disclosure for host-read ads and affiliate codes, show-name trademarks, and the ownership questions that get expensive when deferred.

If a release, sponsorship contract, or network deal needs eyes, talk with our team.
