Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do podcast networks value a show host for key person insurance?

A practical approach uses annual sponsorship revenue attributable to the specific host, multiplied by 1–2 years to estimate the disruption period. Hosts with large audiences and exclusive sponsorship relationships warrant higher multiples.

Do podcast studio co-founders need a buy-sell agreement?

Yes. Co-founders who share ownership of a podcast network or studio benefit from a funded buy-sell agreement that specifies what happens to the business if one founder dies. Without it, the surviving co-founder may be forced into a business relationship with the deceased's estate.

Is podcasting considered a creative or business occupation for insurance purposes?

Podcast production and hosting is classified as a media/creative professional occupation — generally low physical risk. Personal health history is the primary underwriting factor. Rates are typically standard to preferred.
