Are you a podcaster?

If you interview guests, make sure you are using a GUEST RELEASE so you can repurpose all that awesome content (including on short-form video)

If you are ready to get monetized through sponsorships, make sure you have a legit agreement when the brand says "Yes!" to your pitch with a PODCAST SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT, especially for 360-deals where you are leveraging other channels.
