Guest Agreement

⚠️ Working Draft

This is the working version of my guest agreement, shared openly. It's being finalized with an attorney. The signed version is what governs, but I'd rather you see how I think about these conversations now than wait until every comma has been reviewed.

The short version

If you remember nothing else, remember this:

You always have control over your participation.
Consent isn't a one-time checkbox—it's an ongoing conversation.
I won't deliberately edit you to say something you didn't mean.
If something genuinely concerns you after we record, we'll talk about it.
You're giving me your time. I don't take that lightly.

The full agreement is below, but those are the principles everything else is built on.

The Agreement

Render the full plain-language agreement here, organized into readable sections:

Your control over your participation
My responsibilities as the host
Recording, editing, and clips
Honorarium
Names, titles, and identifying information
Off-the-record conversations
Publication and promotion
Withdrawal and exceptional circumstances

Honorariums

Some guests are offered an honorarium for their time.

Whether one is offered is entirely at my discretion, and when it is, it's compensation for your time and presence—never for what you say or the positions you take.

Whether a particular guest received an honorarium, and any amount, remains private between us.

Language

If English isn't your first language, I'm happy to provide the agreement in your preferred language whenever practical.

The translated version exists to make sure we're communicating clearly. If there's ever a difference between versions, the signed English agreement governs.

Interested?

If this sounds like the kind of conversation you'd like to have, I'd love to hear from you.
