Is it legal to quote a blog or an article in a podcast I publish?

I make a podcast (it is like an audio blog). Is it legal to quote material that I find on the web such as blogs, forums, articles, companies’ websites etc. or I may get sued for that?
Also is there there a limitation to the portion I quote? it ok to quote a whole article or a big part of it?

It depends how much you quote. One or two sentences is legal to quote without permission. Otherwise you really need to contact the author and get their permission.

Still, you can’t really get sued for copyright violation unless it can be proved that you intended to cause harm (financial loss, slander, defamation of character, etc.) to the other person.
