Many podcast consultants sadly warn their purchasers by no means to make use of industrial music in podcasts, not even underneath Honest Use. My private expertise and recommendation to my podcast purchasers is thankfully the other. For a few years, I’ve efficiently used industrial music in podcasts underneath Honest Use, both as a result of it’s academic, parody or each. Nonetheless, I’ve been ready upfront with a pre-published DMCA coverage & procedures, with the intention to have a preventive Affirmative Protection. Within the particular case of my CapicúaFM podcast, I’ve additionally been together with the DMCA coverage it within the present’s pre-recorded audio closing. Since I’ve been doing that, I’ve not had any necessary points. Once I say «any necessary points», I’ll clarify my two conditions with YouTube, earlier than and after doing the pre-published and pre-recorded closing with the DMCA coverage and process. I syndicate CapicúaFM on YouTube (and lots of different platforms), although I selectively by no means promote that truth on the present. In audio, I solely need to promote the present’s personal web site, since platforms come and go, as have already occurred with Google Podcasts and Stitcher, as I coated in Loss of life of Stitcher: an ideal lesson of how podcasters ought to future-proof their distribution, syndication and promotion. The audio recordings ought to be future proof, so I keep away from selling every other podcast platform—in audio— and I solely promote the present’s personal web site in audio, by itself websbite. The rationale why I syndicate on YouTube and different platforms is just to draw new listeners, by no means to encourage our present ones to go there to pay attention. After all, I additionally promote using the improbable Pocket Casts app, which connects on to the exhibits Branded RSS.
A few years in the past in 2014, after I interviewed Spaniard singer Sole Giménez (ex-Presuntos Implicados, now soloist) on CapicúaFM, I included a number of examples of her songs. That episode was temporarilly taken down by YouTube’s copyright robotic. I appealed the choice and the episode was thankfully reinstated three days later.
Extra lately, in November 2025, I revealed the episode known as 10 cantantes europeos seseantes y distinguidores. Within the a lot for current above CapicúaFM episode from Novmeber 2025 (proven above), María Esnoz and I explored examples of ten European singers from completely different nations who all sing in Castilian, together with many examples like Braulio (from Spain), Raphael (from Spain), the Gypsy Kings (from France), Mary Hopkin (Welsh, well-known for the traditional music ,These Have been the Days, however I used a clip of her personal Castilian adaptation), Nana Mouskouri (from Greece), Pino D’Angiò, Laura Pausini, Gianluca Grignani, Eros Ramazzotti (all Italian) and ABBA (from Sweden). This episode was a scientific research to find out and doc which Europpean singers distinguish the sounds of the delicate C and the Z (with the English delicate th sound) from the S, and which of them are Seseantes, i.e those who’re within the linguistic class of saying the letters of the delicate C and S like an ordinary S.
The above is the diagram I made for the Communicate Castilian podcast episode (in English) Castilian lisp? Suppose once more!, to doc use of Distinction, Seseo and Ceceo, utilizing the three worldwide stoplight colours.
Within the far more current case of the CapicúaFM episode 10 cantantes europeos seseantes y distinguidores (with the ten European singers and their music performed), there was thankfully no basic takedown in any respect from YouTube. As an alternative, I simply received a pleasant word from YouTube stating that this specific episode couldn’t be «monetized» (I didn’t care) and had been blocked in a single YouTube territory. That’s not too dangerous, since this episode continues to play freely in over 130 nations.
Conclusions
If you want to make use of music underneath Honest Use (schooling and/or parody), a preventive Affirmative Protection is vital. I’m not a lawyer, however my observe report is evident, each within the DMCA takedowns I’ve carried out efficiently (as coated in these articles), and with the preventive Affirmative Protection on podcasts. Take into account that all podcast internet hosting purchasers on my TecnoTur.LLC platform get help with creating their preventive Affirmative Protection DMCA insurance policies at no further cost.
