I’ve heard a couple of podcasts now that are playing stories from dead record labels and I was wondering about the legality of it all. I have a bunch myself that I’d love to podcast, but I don’t know where or if I need to seek permission. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I’d ask the podcasters that are doing it, but I couldn’t find any info on one of them and the other didn’t answer or didn’t get my email.
