The beauty of podcasting is that there are very little rules when it comes to making your podcast. However, it does not mean podcasters are above the law!

In the latest online masterclass from Pods Up North, we invite top digital and media lawyer Cliff Fluet to talk about the legal implications and considerations when making your podcast.

Cliff will delve into the most common queries when it comes to the law and your podcast.

Basically everything you want to know, and more importantly, the things you really need to know - that you didn't even realise you needed to know about!

Such as protecting your ideas, responsibility, permissions, considering different laws across the world, ethics, insurance, using music and clips, fair usage, GDPR, freedom of speech, regulators and contracts.

Plus, they'll be a chance for you to ask your questions to Cliff and the team too.
