And now, this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:19
A question I see come up a lot
Speaker:
00:00:25
is if you're starting a podcast with a friend
Speaker:
00:00:27
and they're gonna be a co-host,
Speaker:
00:00:28
should you put a legal agreement in place.
Speaker:
00:00:30
After all, they're your friends, so you'd hope that nothing goes wrong.
Speaker:
00:00:33
But we all know that isn't always the case, unfortunately.
Speaker:
00:00:36
So yes, I would recommend that if you're about to start a podcast with your friend
Speaker:
00:00:39
and they're going to be a co-host
Speaker:
00:00:40
and you're going to be responsible for different things,
Speaker:
00:00:42
it's definitely worth getting a legal agreement in place.
Speaker:
00:00:45
It doesn't have to be super technical or full of legal jargon,
Speaker:
00:00:48
but definitely something that makes it easy to understand
Speaker:
00:00:50
and clear as to who's responsible for what.
Speaker:
00:00:52
So if one person's paying for all the podcast hosting and marketing
Speaker:
00:00:55
and the other person's paying for all the editing, etc,
Speaker:
00:00:57
it's clear what that role is.
Speaker:
00:00:59
That way, if you ever do go your own way,
Speaker:
00:01:02
there's no grey area about what part of the podcast
Speaker:
00:01:03
belongs to each other.
Speaker:
00:01:05
Not only will it make it easy to either close
Speaker:
00:01:07
the podcast down or start a new podcast altogether,
Speaker:
00:01:09
but it should keep your friendship intact too.
Speaker:
00:01:12
A great resource for this is Gordon Firemark,
Speaker:
00:01:14
whose got a lot of templates you can use,
Speaker:
00:01:15
as well as resources and insights
Speaker:
00:01:17
into the legal side of podcasting.
Speaker:
00:01:19
And I'll leave a link to Gordon's website in the show notes.
Speaker:
00:01:22
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
