Podcast Mini-sode

Social media has never been louder or legally riskier.

Prima Facie is a short-form podcast that explores what happens when content creation collides with copyright, libel, and privacy law. Written, voiced, and produced as part of the Legal Aspects of Media course at Full Sail University, this piece was less about decoding statutes and more about making the law conversational, accessible, and impossible to scroll past.

In just under five minutes, the episode unpacks the risks that come with posting uncredited content, making claims that could be considered defamatory, or sharing private information that was never meant for public view. But unlike your average legal explainer, Prima Facie doesn’t drown in jargon. It speaks in bold headlines, pop-culture references, and sharp one-liners, delivering clarity without sacrificing character.

The assignment required both a full podcast script and a final recording, supported by proper sourcing and APA-formatted references. But beyond hitting the brief, this project demonstrates how brand voice, legal literacy, and editorial storytelling can work in tandem, especially when the goal is to inform without sounding like a lecture.

Prima Facie doesn’t ask you to memorize case law. It just asks you to think before you post.
