They Want Me to Pull Down Their Interview?!
Manage episode 342940082 series 2401170
I saw on Facebook that someone who has been podcasting for a while and has their guests sign a release form was contacted by a former guest who asked them to remove their interview.
They were going to school for psychology and they didn't want their clients to be able to find them.
So they have no legal leg to stand on. They signed a release. You put a lot of work into that episode. There is a certain amount of "How dare they even ask?!?!"
This Isn't An Expose on Big Pharma - It's Your PodcastSo yes, you could legally tell them "no, you signed a release." However, you would be missing out on one of the biggest benefits of podcast: the relationships.
I'm sure you have other episodes your audience can consume. It's not like you're going to lose your audience because you removed one episode.
If you're worried about "Setting a precedent," don't. Most guests are not thinking about your show. They've moved on.
Hopefully, you are doing interviews that make the guest look good. People don't ask to have things removed where they look good.
ConclusionI'm a big fan of "treat people the way you want to be treated." The guest is asking for a favor. Give it to them and pull down the interview. In the future, you will have a psychologist in your network who you might find useful.
