Podcast Production Agreement
A podcast production agreement is a services contract in which a producer records, edits, and prepares podcast episodes according to an agreed format and release schedule. Use this when a production shop handles audio editing and publishing workflow for a founder or brand podcast. It separates production from host talent contracts and ad sales.
