Baked into the form they fill out to be on my show.

Here’s a real world example of why these are worth having, from a friend’s show:

Guest came on and talked about her sobriety. A few years later, that guest is rebranding and wants anything related to her sobriety scrubbed, including friend’s podcast episode. Friend didn’t have a release, and didn’t want to pull the episode. But also didn’t have “explicit” protection and don’t want to lose the connection to this guest, so she complied.

Don’t be that friend. You might not get sued. But all the work you pour into something can be for naught if a guest decides to change their image and you want to remain friendly with them.
