We&#8217;re not trying to trick you, but you do need one for non-visual projects too. Find out about podcast music licensing here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What Is a Sync Licnese?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/what-is-a-sync-license\/\">sync license<\/a> is needed if you want to use music alongside video or a visual medium. You&#8217;re synchronising the audio to the visual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright and licensing can get complicated quickly, so, fortunately, this a relatively simple concept. A sync license allows you to feature music, either <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/meaning-of-diegetic-and-non-diegetic\/\">diegetic or non-diegetic<\/a>, in your projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, when you make a podcast &#8211; an entirely audio-based production &#8211; you don&#8217;t need a sync license, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Podcast Music Licensing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We aren&#8217;t trying to confuse you deliberately. We&#8217;re well aware that we said a sync license enables you to add music to video. But you will also need one if you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/music-for-podcasts-find-the-best-royalty-free-music\/\">adding music to podcasts<\/a> (which we strongly feel you should be doing, by the way!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Podcasts have increased significantly in popularity in recent years. Low production costs, accessibility, and the pandemic have been ingredients to produce a delicious soup of more people both making and listening to podcasts. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/forecasts\/1147560\/podcast-reach-uk\">Statista<\/a>, there are an estimated 16.76 million podcast listeners in the UK in 2021. This is double that of the 2017 estimate, and is forecast to continue to grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/routenote-licensing-blog\/1\/2021\/10\/686f0257-statistapodcasts.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5041 lazyload\" width=\"622\" height=\"393\"\/><figcaption><em>Image Credit: Statista<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, now is evidently a great time to have a go at creating your own brilliant podcast. But, don&#8217;t forget about podcast music licensing. Although sync licenses are for things like film and video, because you&#8217;ll be adding music to a large audio production, you&#8217;ll still need the same license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could obtain a sync license on an individual basis, but <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/how-much-does-a-sync-license-cost\/\">it can be pricey<\/a>.
