About Mediabender

Where the examples on Mediabender come from, and which company publishes the site.

The guides and the worksheet on Mediabender follow a conversation with a client or guest from the recording to the pieces cut from it afterward. Most of the examples follow a business broker. The steps are the same for an owner or a teacher who records their own guests.

Where the examples come from

No page on Mediabender uses a recording, a transcript or a story from a real client conversation. Sam and Lee, the people in the guides' examples, are made up, and so is the broker who talks with them. Every invented example says so where it starts. Three real cases appear in the guides: a 2006 court decision, a 2019 settlement over captions and a 1981 newspaper scandal. Each links to its source.

Who publishes it

Heirloom Acquisitions LLC, a small company run by its owner, publishes Mediabender. The company works with owners of land service companies who are preparing to sell, and with business brokers. The booking button on this site opens a call with the company.

Checking a page before it goes up

A first draft of every page is written with AI help. The owner of Heirloom Acquisitions reads each draft against the sources it cites and approves it before publication. Each guide carries two dates: the day it was published, and the day its facts were last checked against the sources. The second date moves only when the check is repeated. The legal points cover United States rules and are general information, not legal advice.
