What is the Leading Governance in Modern Podcast course about?

Podcasters and hosts are gaining influence fast, but most lack systems to manage compliance, data privacy, sponsorship disclosures, or operational risk. When rapid growth follows early success, the absence of governance creates exposure, not because of intent, but because structure wasn't built in from the start. This course prevents that drift by embedding control frameworks directly into content workflows.
