Podcast Guest Contract

The Podcast Guest Contract Bundle
— So You’re Clear on Recording & Usage Rights

Includes editable guest contracts for podcasters & guests — so it’s clear exactly what can be recorded, edited & shared before you hit record.

You’re not just having a casual chat — you’re creating content that could be edited, published, promoted, and repurposed for years to come. So, you need the proper rights to use it (or protect it).

🎙️ If you’re a podcaster, this bundle gives you the rights you need to record, edit, and promote your episodes — with a choice between owning the content outright or using it under a clear license.

🎤 If you’re a guest, it protects your name, voice, and story — and sets clear boundaries around what can be shared, where, and how.

So everyone’s on the same page before you hit record & publish something you can’t take back.

For just $149

🔥 Why You’ll love This Podcast Guest Contract Template Bundle 🔥

Whether you’re the podcaster or the guest — this bundle gives both sides the legal protection & creative freedom they need to collaborate with confidence.

🎙️ For Podcasters

  • 🛑 Protect Your Podcast From Takedown Requests
    Make it crystal clear what rights you have — so guests can’t suddenly demand you pull an episode after it’s been published.

  • 🔁 Repurpose Freely, Without Re-Permission
    Use snippets, post promos, or republish across platforms — your rights are clear and permanent, no matter how your show grows.

  • ✂️ Avoid Re-Edits That Kill Your Flow
    Stop getting pressured to change titles, cut opinions, or tweak the episode because a guest doesn’t like how they came across.

  • 💸 Prevent Surprise Payment Requests
    Spell out if (and how) your guest is compensated — so you don’t get asked for a payout just because the episode takes off.

  • ⚖️ Avoid Legal Trouble & Content Removal
    The waivers & indemnities protect you from claims if a guest changes their mind or someone else takes issue with what’s said.

  • 🔓 Choose the Rights You Need — Assignment or License
    You can choose between two options:

    • One for full ownership (assignment) — ideal if you want full control & freedom

    • One for flexible use (license) — perfect to get full or limited usage rights with boundaries

  • 📄 Skip the Signature Chasing
    Each version also includes a Terms and Conditions (T&C) version that you can add to your podcast intake form. So, guests can simply check a checkbox after filling out the form ☑️

🎤 For Guests

  • 🧭 Set Boundaries Around Your Story
    Define what’s on the record — and what’s not — so you feel safe and respected when sharing personal experiences.

  • 🗣️ Prevent Edits That Misrepresent You
    Block the podcaster from splicing your words or reshaping your message — no “Frankenstein” edits that twist your words.

  • 📲 Control Where Your Voice & Image Are Used
    Allow podcast use and promotional snippets — but restrict your appearance in paid content (like Patreon, where you’ll get fewer views) or online courses (which you’re not profiting from).

  • 🚫 Say No to Paid Ads That Feature You
    Ensure your story doesn’t become part of an ad campaign or paid promotion unless you’ve signed off on it.

  • 🎁 Retain the Right to Share Your Own Interview
    You’re free to post, promote, or include your interview in your own content (with credits).

  • 💰 Get Paid for the Value You Bring
    Built-in options let you request a guest fee, success fee, or other payment — so you can get paid for your time and the value you bring to the podcast.

  • 🧼 Safeguard Your Reputation
    Includes clear non-disparagement language and protections around how you’re described — before and after the episode airs.

  • Absolutely! My contract templates are designed for global use, regardless of your location.

    As a contract lawyer registered with The Netherlands Bar and with extensive experience in cross-border transactions, I have crafted these templates to accommodate legal systems worldwide.

    The templates have been reviewed by licensed lawyers in France, the UK, Florida, and New York, ensuring their enforceability across different jurisdictions, including common law countries like the US and UK, civil law countries like those in the EU, and pluralist systems like Canada.

    Please note that while these contracts offer a cost-effective solution to hiring a lawyer for a tailor-made contract, they're not a substitute for personalised legal advice. These templates serve as an accessible starting point, saving you thousands of dollars that would typically be spent on bespoke contract drafting.

  • Yes! When you agree to my terms & conditions at purchase, you automatically receive lifetime access to updates for your contract.

    Every time I make a major update, you will be notified by email.

    The latest version will always be available through the link provided at purchase, ensuring your contract remains current.

  • These contract templates are not simple two-pagers but detailed and comprehensive contracts meticulously crafted to encompass all necessary protections and considerations relevant to your business.

    I prioritise thoroughness and clarity, yet my contracts are also designed with user-friendliness in mind.

    Each contract comes with helpful comments and guidance to assist you through the drafting process.

    So, while my contracts may not be condensed into a couple of pages, they offer thoroughness without sacrificing usability. With my guidance, you can confidently navigate the complexities of contracts and ensure that your business interests are well-protected.

  • The purchase of a contract does not create an attorney-client relationship.

    Although Selene Snippe has created these contracts and is a lawyer by profession, Selene Snippe is not YOUR lawyer. As this Website is NOT a law firm, purchasing or downloading a contract does not establish any kind of attorney-client relationship.

    An attorney-client relationship between you and Selene Snippe and/or Selene the Lawyer is only formed after you and Selene the Lawyer have entered into an engagement letter for specific legal services.

  • By purchasing a contract you are not entitled to email communication, calls, (virtual or physical) meetings, or any other type of communication with Selene the Lawyer and/or Selene Snippe.

    These reusable contracts do not include access to Selene the Lawyer and/or Selene Snippe or any legal advice or feedback, and these contracts are priced accordingly.

  • The contracts offered on this website are non-refundable.

    Please carefully review the details and descriptions of each contract before purchasing to ensure it fits your needs.
