This week, Mike is joined by Barry Kantz and they talk about Twitter, Joe Rogan and a few different legal topics that apply to you as a podcaster. As Barry is an attorney, he has great advice on how to move forward in podcasting when it concerns legal aspects, particularly copyright infringement.

Guest Host Barry Kantz, CFO and General Council for RawVoice/Blubrry

• NAB Show 2022. Attendance and traffic was down compared to previous years, but Todd and MacKenzie connected with many positive contacts and leads. Overall, a successful show!

Why people quit listening and two tips on how to get them to keep listening.

Question: Someone is using the same title as my show’s title. Is there any way to get them to stop?  I was using it first!

Answer: Unfortunately, there is not much you can do about someone using the same title unless you have trademarked it. Titles can not be copyrighted either. Maybe just contact them and ask if they can change the title of their show enough to make it distinguishable from yours.

Got a question you’d like us to answer on the show? Drop an email to mike@blubrry.com (audio, text, video) and we may use it.
