To submit your podcast, you'll need to do the following:

  • A completed submission form found here
  • An MP3 file of your podcast episode

  • An abstract summarizing your podcast topic and content

Understanding Copyright for Your Podcast

Copyright is designed to give authors an incentive to create original works by affording them a limited-term monopoly on their intellectual creations. 

Copyright is best understood as a suite of five rights:

  • The right to reproduce your work
  • The right to distribute your work
  • The right to create derivatives of your work
  • The right to display your work
  • The right to perform your work
