Crisis Management in Podcasting

Quick answer: Unprepared podcasters lose cancel-culture battles. 5 common crisis types: controversial guest comment, mass criticism, guest cancellation, technical failure, platform takedown. Each needs a response template.

5 Crisis Types

1. Controversial Guest Comment

• Don't delete the episode (Streisand effect)
• Post within 24 hours — acknowledgment, your view, how you'll move forward
• Don't deny
• Offer context if relevant

2-5. Mass Criticism, Guest Cancellation, Technical Failure, Platform Takedown

Each has response template + preventive checklist.
