Are there podcast laws? If so, who writes them? And what do they regulate? In this episode, I chat with the Podcast Lawyer about what podcast laws exist, which ones don't, and how to navigate the legal implications of podcast guesting and hosting. Why now? Well, on the previous episode of Go Pitch Yourself, I talked about the pay-to-play phenomenon where podcast hosts are charging their guests. Are there laws governing this type of relationship?  And are hosts required to disclose that relationship?   Not to fear, Gordon Firemark is here to answer all of these questions, and more. Gordon has practiced media, entertainment, and business law since 1992 and is often referred to as The Podcast Lawyer™. He helps creatives, artists, entrepreneurs, and others achieve the dream of getting their messages out and making a meaningful impact with their craft. A podcaster himself, he's been producing and hosting the Entertainment Law Update podcast since 2009 and recently launched the Fuzzy Lawgic podcast with Elsie Escobar, where they navigate the legal, social, and ethical questions facing creators today. Together we talk about disclosure guidelines, contracts to have in place when podcasting, and other legal considerations for hosts and guests. Topics covered include: Gordon's background in entertainment law and why he saw that the rules were different when podcasts started to emerge What Gordon has seen and is seeing with regards to podcast guests having to 'pay to play' The audience's need for transparency when podcast guesting slides into paid advertising Things that hosts should bear in mind when beginning a podcast, and how these can help you to avoid 'podfade' Do hosts and guests need a podcast prenup when arranging guest appearances?    Full show notes and resources: https://www.thepodwizegroup.com/podcast-laws

Recently, some very strange product companies have reached out to try podcast ads. It got me thinking about the legal side of podcast advertising and if there was one. We don't deal with it, so I invited Gordon Firemark to the podcast to share his expertise on the subject. "I sometimes talk about the podcast prenup. People (brands) working on the show with us should know what they get, what they own, and what they're not entitled to. It's protecting our intellectual product." Gordon and I discuss important topics like: What happens when a brand uses a host's ad as an endorsement on their website, social media, and more without their consent? What should be included in an advertising agreement to safeguard the brand and podcast? Why brands should be aware of brand safety and host compliance before forming a relationship. Can the government regulate what a host can advertise on their podcast? Plus so much more.

As many of you know, there is an aspect of the Pilates industry that involves law suits about intellectual property, copyrights, trademarks, patents and public domain.

Gordon has been practicing Entertainment law since 1992. His practice covers copyrights, trademarks, business transactions, and corporate matters for clients in media and entertainment.

At a young age, Gordon started out his career working with sound, lighting and special effects in theatre and completing his B.A. in radio, television and film. Gordon Firemark certainly had enough credentials for a very successful career. Yet apparently it wasn't enough, or maybe, he eventually came around and listened to his mother:) He got a law degree and is  most generous with his time and expertise in the field of entertainment law.  He blended interests from both sides of his brain, his talent and natural ability to help others. He's a hard worker, a committed dad and  has a    happy disposition.I so enjoyed hearing  stories of his childhood and his mother Roz  (Rosalynn), who was compassionate, encouraging, believer in a strong education and a big advocate for gratitude and appreciation.  "My mom enjoyed the moments but didn't necessarily feel the need to make the moments happen", say Gordon.Mark has an interesting story he shares about his great-grandfather emigrating from Eastern Europe to the United States and his port of entry was Ellis Island.Hope you enjoy this episode of Should Have Listened To My Mother

Publish enough episodes to foster an audience or following. One or two episodes isn't typically enough for a listener to know if they want to stick around regularly or subscribe. We tend to see that if podcasters make it past the 7 and then 15 or so episode mark, they'll stick with it and the same can be said for audiences.

Blubrry Pro Tip Turn your podcast into a book Interview Dr. Denise McDermott, MD - Podcaster of the Month Question of the Week Question: If I want to have a guest on my podcast, do they need to sign a release form or anything legal like that? Answer: It's not required, but it could greatly work in your favor to have them sign one, even a simple version. Most likely, all will go smoothly with your guest, however on the off chance that it doesn't, something like this could assist in any trouble you run into with them.

Publish enough episodes to foster an audience or following. One or two episodes isn't typically enough for a listener to know if they want to stick around regularly or subscribe. We tend to see that if podcasters make it past the 7 and then 15 or so episode mark, they'll stick with it and the same can be said for audiences.

Blubrry Pro Tip Turn your podcast into a book Interview Dr. Denise McDermott, MD - Podcaster of the Month Question of the Week Question: If I want to have a guest on my podcast, do they need to sign a release form or anything legal like that? Answer: It's not required, but it could greatly work in your favor to have them sign one, even a simple version. Most likely, all will go smoothly with your guest, however on the off chance that it doesn't, something like this could assist in any trouble you run into with them.

NDAs or Non-Disclosure Agreements is a very popular topic here on Resourceful Designer. The previous episode I did on NDAs is one of the most searched posts on this site. I recently had the privilege of talking NDAs with attorney Gordon Firemark. Gordon practices entertainment law in California, the USA, where he helps artists, writers, producers, and directors achieve their dreams in the fields of theatre, film, television and new media. But what does that have to do with graphic or web design, you might be thinking? Well, every theatre production, film and movie, television show and other forms of new media such as YouTube and podcasting, at some point require the expertise of a designer. And many times, those designers are brought into the mix long before the entertainment product is ready to go public. And of course, the person hiring said designer wants to protect their intellectual property. That's where Non Disclosure Agreements come into play. They help protect their IP by setting the boundaries of what the designer can say or not say about the projects they're working on for their clients. To learn more, be sure to listen to the episode. Here are some topics we covered. What is an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement)? Is an NDA a separate contract? In what situation would you be asked to sign an NDA? Are your contractors covered by an NDA you sign? What should you look for in an NDA? What should you look out for in an NDA? What is covered under an NDA? When should an NDA end? Are NDAs negotiable? When is it ok to break an NDA? What are your obligations to materials provided to you under an NDA? When should you ask a client to sign an NDA for you? Is a Non-Complete Agreement the same as an NDA?

 In this episode, I explore the world of DMCA takedowns with podcast and entertainment lawyer Gordon Firemark.
