Frequently podcasters and users have questions concerning the content of their shows.

Hosts own the content of their Show and, generally speaking, content produced by Hosts on TalkShoe is owned by the Show Host. The Host can also do the following:
They can delete their content from Talkshoe.
They can upload their content from Talkshoe onto another platform.
They can archive their content on their own equipment (and are indeed advised to do so - the benefit of keeping local copies is something we have always advised Hosts to do as Talkshoe should not be considered the sole 'custodian' of such show content.
As part of the Terms of Service, Hosts provide a license to Talkshoe allowing Talkshoe to present and use such content, for example to provide access to such content to viewers, to store such content, and to redistribute content via a Show RSS Feed that is readable by third party directories.
