Hiring help is a milestone for any podcast—but it also introduces new risks if expectations aren’t clear.

In this episode of Legit Podcast Pro, Gordon Firemark walks through what creators must lock down when working with volunteers, independent editors, producers, and other collaborators.

You’ll hear:

  • Why informal arrangements break down as shows grow
  • How ownership issues can arise even with unpaid help
  • What to address before someone touches your content
  • Why AI tools need explicit permission
  • How clear structure supports collaboration and growth

If you’re building a team around your podcast, this episode will help you do it the right way.
