Podcast Editing Agreement

Source files are the editable files used to create a finished result. They can make later changes easier, but may require particular software or licensed assets. A service fee may cover only the finished output; source-file delivery and permission to reuse its contents are separate questions.

A request can become extra work when it adds something beyond the original brief or exceeds the included revision rounds. A new concept, extra recording session, or additional format is different from a small adjustment. Correcting work that did not meet the agreed requirements may be treated separately from paid revisions.

Guests do not automatically have a right to approve edits, but they may negotiate one. The producer's editing authority also depends on the permissions obtained and the agreed instructions. Permission to edit is not permission to misrepresent what the guest said.
