TPA Presents: 360 Podcast Deals: How Deals Are Changing in 2025
May 14 | 12:00 pm EST
Register Here - Members Only
As podcasting expands beyond audio into video, live events, community offerings, and retail, the industry is shifting from what started as a primarily single distribution/monetization model to a more 360-degree multimedia approach. But are our agreements keeping up? Many deal templates were designed for an RSS-first world, yet today’s content creators build direct audience connections across multiple platforms.
In this webinar, we’ll explore five key ways podcast deal structures are evolving to reflect this new reality. From integrated IP strategies to cross-platform monetization, we’ll discuss how to (try to) future-proof agreements in an era where audio is just one piece of the puzzle. Whether you're a creator, producer, or industry professional, we’ll come together in this session to discuss and navigate the changing landscape of deal-making in 2025.
