<p>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. </p> <p>They were going to school for psychology and they didn't want their clients to be able to find them. </p> <p>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?!?!"</p> <h2>This Isn't An Expose on Big Pharma - It's Your Podcast</h2> <p>So 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: <strong>the relationships</strong>. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>If you're worried about "Setting a precedent," don't. Most guests are not thinking about your show. They've moved on. </p> <p>Hopefully, you are doing interviews that make the guest look good. People don't ask to have things removed where they look good. </p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>I'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. </p> <h2>Join the Best Podcasting Community</h2> <p>Join the School of Podcasting using the <a href="https://courses.schoolofpodcasting.com/school-of-podcasting-community/54761/buy?coupon=YPC" target="_blank"><strong>coupon YPC</strong></a> to get 20% off your subscription (forever).
