This class will focus primarily on a variety of legal issues that podcasters should consider when creating their podcast, including copyright, fair use, defamation, publicity, privacy, and more. You also may need to draft and negotiate contracts with hosts, editors, composers, and other parties. In this class, media attorney Jonathan Lyons will discuss and demystify these and other legal issues that arise in connection with the creation of a podcast. A subsequent class focusing on legal issues in connection with the distribution, licensing, and sale of your podcast will be presented later this year.

Bonus: registration comes with a free, three-month license for Hindenburg audio editing software!

You will receive a Zoom link for the workshop the day before it begins.
