Voicemail Submission Terms

Recording consent

You consent to the recording, receipt, storage, and possible public use of your voicemail as described here. Submit only recordings you have the right to share. If anyone else is heard in your recording, you must obtain their permission to be recorded and to have their contribution used under these terms before submitting it. You confirm that you are legally able to grant these permissions.

License and use by Listen Read Interact

You grant Read to Speak, LLC a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to reproduce, store, edit, transcribe, publish, distribute, publicly perform, and reuse your submission, in whole or in part, in Listen Read Interact and its related productions and promotional materials, including the podcast's website, show notes, and social media. This permission is limited to Listen Read Interact and those related productions and promotional materials. We may allow our production and distribution service providers to use the submission as needed for these purposes. The license continues unless we agree otherwise, subject to the removal-request process below.

Editing and publication

We may select excerpts, shorten your message, remove identifying details, adjust audio quality or volume, and combine your recording with commentary or other material. We may publish the audio or a transcript without asking you to review or approve the final version. Submission does not guarantee a response, publication, attribution, or use in any particular episode of Listen Read Interact or its related productions.

Compensation and ownership

Your submission is voluntary. You will not receive payment, royalties, or other compensation for its submission or use unless we separately agree in writing. You retain ownership of your original contribution, subject to the license you grant here. Read to Speak, LLC retains its rights in the episodes, edits, and other original material it produces; submitting a voicemail does not give you ownership of those productions.

No AI voice cloning or model training

These terms do not grant permission to clone your voice, create a synthetic imitation of your voice, or use your submission to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models. Those uses would require a separate, explicit agreement from you.

Prohibited content

Do not submit content that:

• Is unlawful, threatening, harassing, hateful, defamatory, or otherwise abusive.
• Infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights, including music or recordings you do not have permission to share.
• Includes someone else's private or confidential information without their permission.
• Impersonates another person, misrepresents your identity, or contains spam or unsolicited advertising.

Privacy

A voicemail submitted for possible publication is not a confidential communication. Your voice and anything you say in the recording may become public and may identify you. Avoid including phone numbers, addresses, sensitive personal information, or details you do not want listeners to hear. We may identify you using the name or other details you provide in the recording.

The name and email entered in the submission form are used to administer your submission and contact you about it, and are not published as part of your voicemail without separate permission. Authorized staff and service providers may access the recording and submission details to store, review, produce, and distribute content. Recordings may be retained or deleted according to our operational and storage needs.

Removal requests

You may ask us not to use an unpublished submission or request removal of published material by emailing support@listenreadinteract.com with the podcast name (Listen Read Interact), approximate submission date, and enough information to identify your recording. We will review your request and make reasonable efforts to accommodate it. Removal is not guaranteed, particularly after publication: downloaded episodes, third-party copies, cached material, and content outside our control may remain available. A request does not undo uses already made under these terms.

Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and subject to any mandatory rights under applicable law. The version of these terms you accept when submitting applies to that submission.
