In essence they will rely upon their own reports to determine how much to pay the producer. That there's called a conflict of interest. If these guys had a clue they'd have a third-party maintain the stats and then get an independent auditor to review them on routine basis.
I caught that and another big hole as well. The endorsement fee portion that says something about 'we believe that endorsements can become a significant source of revenue.' Anyone that signs this contract could easily sue if they do not receive a 'significant source of revenue' from endorsements. Exactly why most companies do not use such vague language in contracts.

I think it would be HILARIOUS if someone did sign this contract with an intent to take podshow to court in a year when this shit doesn't pan out.

So, not only are the marjority of people signing this idiots, Podshow lawyers don't seem to bright either for leaving such a large potential for company liability in the contracts.
