<p dir="ltr">Copyright was part of my presenter contract when I was on-air, and I'd suggest it lives there rather than getting guests to sign a release form for your purposes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Release forms are scary for some interviewees and may mean they back out at the last minute; they are extra hassle which is easily forgotten in the heat of the moment, and a load of additional paperwork.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Enclosed (I suspect) are the two relevant passages from my 1993 presenter contract. If you can't see the enclosures, find them here:<br>

<p dir="ltr">I'm presuming that you have a "contract" for your volunteer presenters, or at least a code of conduct that they sign up for. </p>
