When starting a podcast these are the two main things to take into account. Without the proper protections, you are taking the risk of losing rights to use of your content if a guest or basically, anyone, demands you take it down.
If you do not register your podcast’s name as a trademark, it means that you are letting it out there for anyone to be faster and do it. And, sadly get better rights and request you to stop using it. File the application so you can be sure yours is the only podcast with that name.
Have a guest agreement, which will ensure that you have all of the rights to freely promote the episode and reuse it as needed.
