Why a club might use this

Before the club starts
An editorial charter, series plan, publishing authority, correction standard and retirement policy.
Hosting and distribution accounts owned by the organisation with secure access and export capability.
Guest releases, music and archival rights, transcript workflow, content warnings and accessible episode-page template.

Controls and safeguards
Consent to record does not permit unrelated excerpts, synthetic voice use or indefinite promotion; record the approved scope and reuse.
Do not air defamatory allegations, sensitive third-party information or unbalanced electoral persuasion; obtain editorial or legal review when needed.
HIGH - defamation, guest consent, music rights, transcript access and account ownership persist long after an episode airs.
What to measure
Episodes passing editorial, rights and transcript checks
Follow-up: Send guests the final audio and transcript, resolve correction requests under the published standard and complete a season-end rights, accessibility and platform-export audit.
