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. Gordon Firemark, a known podcast lawyer, has a downloadable one on his site. Got a question you’d like us to answer on the show?
