Summary: In this episode, Gordon Firemark, The Podcast Lawyer™, discusses the reasons many podcasters consider forming an LLC and why it might not always be the best choice. We explore the benefits of LLCs, the potential drawbacks, and alternative business structures that could be a better fit for your podcast or YouTube channel.

Key Points:

• Reasons podcasters start LLCs: legal protection, professionalism, tax advantages, branding.
• Why an LLC might not be necessary: costs, complexity, personal liability, tax misconceptions, copyright law implications.
• Alternative structures: sole proprietorship, partnership, S-corporation.
• When an LLC makes sense: high liability risk, complex business models, long-term growth plans, delineating ownership structure, raising capital.
