A quick guest agreement prevents the awkward conversations that come after a podcast is published. This builder documents the essentials — recording consent, ownership, editing rights, and promotion — so both the producer and the guest know exactly what was agreed before the mics go on.
How it works
The generator assembles a numbered agreement from your inputs, renumbering clauses automatically as you toggle optional sections on or off. The recording-consent clause grants the producer the rights to record and publish; the ownership clause switches between producer-owned and joint ownership; and the editing clause either grants full editorial control or promises the guest a preview.
The core grant is recording consent: explicit permission to record, edit,
distribute, and broadcast the guest’s contribution, plus the right to use their
name and likeness to promote the episode. That single grant is what protects the
producer if a guest later changes their mind.
Tips and notes
- Use joint ownership when you want the guest motivated to re-share — letting them post the full episode on their own channels is a strong incentive that drives downloads.
- Add an embargo date whenever the episode is tied to a product launch or announcement so nothing leaks early.
- Keep the cross-promotion clause realistic; a guest who agreed to share once is more likely to follow through than one promised vague “mutual promotion.” This is a starting template, not legal advice.
