Navigating the
Creative Landscape
Podcasts & Audio
There is no single “formula” to podcast deals: Who owns the master recordings, scripts and RSS feed? How are the financier’s risks balanced against the creator’s needs? Are existing and future revenue streams accounted for? Can the show be renewed? Who controls derivatives? With a constant eye on industry developments and best practices, our podcast & audio team supports all stages of development, distribution, and monetization.
