About this episode
Hiring team members—like writers, editors, and assistants—can help your podcast grow. But without the right contracts, they may actually own the work they create for your show.
In this episode of Legit Podcast Pro, Gordon Firemark, The Podcast Lawyer™, explains the legal risks of working with freelancers and how to make sure you stay in control.
You’ll learn:
- Why freelancers and contractors, by default, own their work
- The common mistakes podcasters make when hiring
- The essential contract clauses every agreement should include
- How to onboard and manage team members professionally
- What to do if disputes arise
Protect your podcast before you hand over your next assignment.
