If I am selected to participate in The Christy-Faith Show, I acknowledge and agree to the following.
Eligibility and voluntary participation
I confirm that I am at least 18 years old and am submitting a question voluntarily. Submitting a question does not guarantee selection or participation.
The production team may accept, decline, reschedule, or discontinue participation for editorial, scheduling, technical, or other production reasons.
Recording authorization
If selected, and after receiving recording instructions, I authorize The Christy-Faith Show and its authorized production team to record my voice, statements, and participation during the scheduled conversation with Christy.
I understand that the recording will take place through Zoom or another approved platform, and that Zoom may capture video as well as audio even though my video is not intended for publication.
I understand that my participation is intended to be audio-only in the published episode, and that Christy’s video may appear in the final video production.
Who may be present
I agree to take part from a location where I can speak privately. Children will not take part in the conversation, and I will not ask or allow a child to speak to Christy on the recording.
I understand that ordinary household sound, including children’s voices in the background, may be audible on the recording. If a child speaks during the recording, I understand that portion may be edited out or removed, and that I am not inviting that child to participate.
If another adult will be present or heard, I will tell the production team in advance, and that person must agree to these same terms before recording begins.
My own statements
I understand that the statements I make during the recording are my own.
I agree not to make statements I know to be untrue about any identifiable person, business, organization, or curriculum provider, and not to disclose private information about another person without that person’s permission.
I understand that the production team may decline to publish, may edit, or may remove any portion of my participation at its discretion.
Editing and publication rights
I authorize Christy Faith LLC, operating The Christy-Faith Show, to use, reproduce, edit, excerpt, distribute, publicly perform, and publish my recorded participation in connection with the show.
These uses may include:
- Full podcast episodes and edited recordings.
- YouTube videos and other video platforms.
- Audio podcast distribution platforms.
- Social media clips, highlights, and promotional materials.
- Website content, episode descriptions, and related show marketing.
- Future replays, compilations, and archived episodes.
I understand that recordings may be shortened, rearranged, or edited for clarity, length, quality, privacy, and editorial purposes, without intentionally misrepresenting the substance of my statements.
The show may use the first name I approved for public use, and any other identifying details I separately approve.
Rights, compensation, and editorial control
Participation is voluntary. I will not receive payment, royalties, or other compensation unless separately agreed in writing.
The production team retains editorial control over whether, when, and how recorded material is published, subject to applicable law and the final approved agreement.
I will not automatically receive advance editorial approval of the final episode.
Sensitive information and identity protection
I agree to avoid disclosing children’s full names, identifying details, or other sensitive personal information during the recording, unless those details have been specifically discussed and approved.
I understand that the production team may edit or remove sensitive information, but cannot guarantee that every personal detail I voluntarily disclose will be removed before publication, and cannot remove anything after publication from copies already distributed.
Using an alternative first name does not guarantee anonymity. My voice, circumstances, or statements may still be recognizable to people who know me.
Recording consent and applicable law
I understand that recording will begin only after the show’s consent procedures are complete.
I acknowledge that recording laws vary by location. I confirm that the state I provided is where I will be located during the recording, and I will tell the production team if that changes. Before recording begins, I will be asked to confirm my consent verbally, on the recording.
Withdrawing
Before recording begins, I may withdraw at any time for any reason by notifying the production team.
After recording and before publication, I may request that my material not be used. The production team will consider the request in good faith, in accordance with the final approved release terms and applicable law, but is not obligated to grant it.
After publication, I understand that material already distributed cannot be fully recalled, and that removal from the show’s own archive is at the show’s discretion.
Electronic agreement
By checking the agreement box and submitting this form, I intend to electronically acknowledge and accept this Recording & Participant Release.
I understand that the production team may keep an electronic record of my consent, including the date, time, and version of the agreement I accepted.
