1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,440 What time is it? 2 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:08,960 What time is it? 3 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,880 It's time for Poduty and the News. 4 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,640 Poduty and the News. 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,680 The only live news podcast about 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,080 podcasting from the stage. 7 00:00:37,980 --> 00:00:40,620 The only live news podcast about 8 00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:43,340 podcasting from the stage. 9 00:00:48,540 --> 00:00:52,220 Hello. Hello. I'm on the stage, but I forgot to set up my mic stand. 10 00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:56,780 Let's go. There we go. Christiane, welcome to the show. Welcome to this 11 00:00:56,780 --> 00:01:00,200 side of the theme song awesomeness. I hope you at least 12 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,760 captured some of my fun that I had while I was 13 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,880 jiving to the dance song. Lots of dancing 14 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,680 backstage. We're having a good time already. We've got six stories 15 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,360 about live podcasting coming up. We're recording this live, live 16 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,520 on the stage here at the Paduti Podcast Theater. And 17 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,440 Christiane, you've got the Petite Hustle. 18 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,960 I left my notes on the other side of the stage. It is the Petite 19 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:30,760 process and the. Oh, I'm going 20 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,080 to. I will help you. Don't worry at all. Don't worry about those notes. That's 21 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,520 why I'm here. I'm a professor, after all. Right. I like teaching. 22 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:41,959 So it's the Petite Practice. And my podcast is 23 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,800 called Happy Healthy Hustle. Happy Healthy 24 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,440 Hustle. That's where I was getting confused. Tell us a little about the podcast. 25 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,280 Yeah. Started really simple. I am a 26 00:01:53,650 --> 00:01:57,410 professor. I'm also, like, maybe a little bit like a standard comedian. 27 00:01:57,410 --> 00:02:00,730 That's sometimes what my family tells me. Right. I definitely have fun 28 00:02:00,730 --> 00:02:04,290 entertaining. And I thought other people 29 00:02:04,850 --> 00:02:08,370 might not just want to read my emails 30 00:02:08,850 --> 00:02:12,690 or hear about my products. They also maybe want 31 00:02:12,690 --> 00:02:16,170 to watch me and listen to me as I'm sharing some 32 00:02:16,170 --> 00:02:19,850 insights that are expert insights, but 33 00:02:19,850 --> 00:02:23,170 I'm really explaining in a way that are more like layman terms. 34 00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:27,220 And that's how I started my podcast, really, with the goal to share some 35 00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:30,900 ideas, share some news, share some trends without enrolling into 36 00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:34,380 one of my classes or being one of my clients, just free on the 37 00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:38,220 Internet. And that's how I got started. Oh. I just ran all 38 00:02:38,220 --> 00:02:41,940 the way backstage to get my notes, so I have them all here. 39 00:02:41,940 --> 00:02:45,740 Perfect this time. The Happy Hustle podcast, the Petite 40 00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:49,380 Practice framework. And that's the one I'm really impressed about. 41 00:02:49,380 --> 00:02:52,660 I really think that framework, that mentality, that mindset 42 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,800 is something that a lot of podcasters can apply to their shows, to 43 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,200 their guests, to their structure. Tell us a little bit about that. So Petite 44 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,040 Practice, so you can hear from my accent. I'm from Europe. Petite 45 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,800 means French. In French, it means small. Right. 46 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,560 And Practice, we all used to. It reminds us maybe of 47 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,480 Sports remind of just trying something for the first 48 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,120 time you have never done before. So look at this. You're taking 49 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,830 a small step with something that that is maybe 50 00:03:22,830 --> 00:03:26,190 part of a big goal. So you're really taking your big 51 00:03:26,190 --> 00:03:29,830 priorities and you're breaking it down. You're translating it 52 00:03:29,830 --> 00:03:33,310 into small steps. And that's, in essence, really what I do. 53 00:03:33,550 --> 00:03:37,229 So I'm a leadership strategist, and I kind of sit at this 54 00:03:37,229 --> 00:03:40,590 intersection of leadership, of 55 00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:43,870 execution, but also of behavioral strategies. 56 00:03:44,270 --> 00:03:47,710 A key Practice is the vehicle. It's the behavioral 57 00:03:47,710 --> 00:03:51,400 strategy. Taking one small step in reaching your 58 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,240 big goals, in executing small step every 59 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,960 day, chipping away at something, and then eventually, of course, 60 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,400 you're going to get there, because it's that high five moment of 61 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,120 seeing momentum towards something. Just like when we 62 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,880 Practice in sports, we get better and better. We just have to stay consistent with 63 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,720 it. That's like a lot of times you hear people say, if you can 64 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,520 change just 1%, just a little tiny bit today, 65 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,320 make a little tiny improvement, think where you'll be with that change 66 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,680 in direction in 30 days, in 60 days, in 67 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,400 120 days, compared to where you would have been had you taken 68 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,160 no action. So this concept of taking these little tiny 69 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,960 incremental steps every day to get to your goals, to 70 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,400 get to where you want to be, I love that setup and that structure. 71 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,760 Yeah. Most people actually don't even struggle with 72 00:04:43,370 --> 00:04:46,730 finding a strategy. Right. I mean, here we are at the beginning of the year. 73 00:04:46,810 --> 00:04:50,330 Most people know what it takes to live healthy or to 74 00:04:50,410 --> 00:04:54,170 run a business, improve your business, and they also have big goals. 75 00:04:54,170 --> 00:04:57,370 It's really the translating of the priorities 76 00:04:57,690 --> 00:05:01,170 into the Practices, that's really where the Petite 77 00:05:01,170 --> 00:05:04,730 Practice comes in, because it helps you create 78 00:05:04,730 --> 00:05:08,330 momentum and actually see progress that 79 00:05:08,330 --> 00:05:12,070 sticks even under pressure. So even if you have a day where you 80 00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:15,790 have a lot going on, where maybe not feeling the best, you can still take 81 00:05:15,790 --> 00:05:18,230 a small step and you get closer to your goal. 82 00:05:19,510 --> 00:05:22,830 Very good. If people want to reach out, listen to the podcast and find out 83 00:05:22,830 --> 00:05:26,670 more about your Practice. What's the best way to connect with you? Well, tune 84 00:05:26,670 --> 00:05:30,230 in to my podcast, Happy Healthy Hustle. Actually 85 00:05:30,470 --> 00:05:34,230 globally ranked top 1%. And of course, watch 86 00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:38,020 me on my YouTube channel, @doctor.christiane, or 87 00:05:38,020 --> 00:05:40,660 check out my website, https://doctorchristiane.com/ 88 00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:45,860 awesome. I will have all those links in the show notes. Make sure you always 89 00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:49,260 check out the notes. They have great links to our guests. We even have a 90 00:05:49,260 --> 00:05:52,940 page on the podcast site that's called the Crew. And after 91 00:05:52,940 --> 00:05:56,620 tonight's show, Christiane will be inducted into the crew. 92 00:05:56,620 --> 00:06:00,380 So there'll be a crew page. You'll be able to find her photo, her 93 00:06:00,380 --> 00:06:04,030 links, her bio, and all this information that we're talking about. 94 00:06:04,190 --> 00:06:07,910 It's there, archived, even all the shows that she's on, this one tonight 95 00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:11,590 and maybe even future episodes if she wants to join us again in the 96 00:06:11,590 --> 00:06:14,990 future. But all that will be archived and you'll be able to connect with her 97 00:06:15,230 --> 00:06:18,950 and follow those links and make sure you hear the podcast, see 98 00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:22,030 what the offer is, and see what the Petite Practice is all about, 99 00:06:22,910 --> 00:06:26,750 for sure. And it's sometimes fun even to reach 100 00:06:26,750 --> 00:06:30,110 out and let me know what you really enjoyed as far as a takeaway, 101 00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:34,900 because for a podcast, the best thing is 102 00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:38,740 actually to feel that your message resonated. But 103 00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:42,340 to really know what resonated would make me, another 104 00:06:42,340 --> 00:06:46,060 guest come back. But also, you know, for Jeff, 105 00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:49,460 that's also super helpful to kind of like figure out. Okay, so we're going to 106 00:06:49,460 --> 00:06:53,220 do more of that. So let us know what you really enjoyed and 107 00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:56,900 leave some praise and of course, reach out if you have any questions about anything. 108 00:06:58,630 --> 00:07:02,390 Sounds good. It's time to get into our first story. 109 00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:06,670 Are you ready? Let's do it. All right, story 110 00:07:06,670 --> 00:07:10,310 number one. Tonight, Michelle Wolf turns podcasting into 111 00:07:10,310 --> 00:07:14,030 live standup. Comedian Michelle Wolf is rethinking what 112 00:07:14,030 --> 00:07:17,750 a podcast can be by launching Thoughtbox as a live 113 00:07:17,750 --> 00:07:21,470 stream stand up experience. The show officially premieres 114 00:07:21,470 --> 00:07:24,530 February 27th in Barcelona at La 115 00:07:24,850 --> 00:07:28,650 Latiana Cultural. Performing. Performing in front of a 116 00:07:28,650 --> 00:07:32,450 live audience while streaming exclusively on punch up. Unlike 117 00:07:32,450 --> 00:07:36,210 traditional podcasts, Thoughtbox is designed to feel like a 118 00:07:36,210 --> 00:07:40,050 brand new comedy show every week. Topical jokes, audience 119 00:07:40,050 --> 00:07:43,890 inspired material, and zero attempt to sound like a typical 120 00:07:43,890 --> 00:07:47,090 podcast. It's recorded live, streamed live, 121 00:07:47,650 --> 00:07:51,330 and available on demand as video, and later released 122 00:07:51,330 --> 00:07:54,570 as audio, blurring the lines between stand up 123 00:07:54,570 --> 00:07:58,210 television podcasting in a way only a seasoned 124 00:07:58,210 --> 00:08:01,490 comic could pull off. And this is a story that 125 00:08:01,730 --> 00:08:05,330 after my heart, I am. We always walk in that line 126 00:08:05,330 --> 00:08:08,970 of what is a podcast? Where can you perform a 127 00:08:08,970 --> 00:08:12,690 podcast? How can you perform a podcast? And Michelle Wolf has taken 128 00:08:12,690 --> 00:08:16,410 this well beyond anything I've ever conceived. To 129 00:08:16,410 --> 00:08:19,940 be able to have a show, live, stream it live, and then have that 130 00:08:19,940 --> 00:08:23,580 content released for audio at a later date. I really think 131 00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:27,340 she's. She's firing on all cylinders here. Yeah, actually 132 00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:30,860 that's how I got started, Jeff. My first 133 00:08:30,940 --> 00:08:34,540 podcast experience was Instagram 134 00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:38,340 Lives. I started it during the pandemic, started 135 00:08:38,340 --> 00:08:42,060 my podcast 32323 and 136 00:08:42,060 --> 00:08:45,850 I did Instagram Lives and had amazing guests that 137 00:08:45,850 --> 00:08:49,530 would have never Been able to meet with me, meet me on Instagram Live, and 138 00:08:49,530 --> 00:08:52,930 we talked for about an hour. Then I extracted the video, 139 00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:57,010 extracted the audio, and I posted the audio as my 140 00:08:57,410 --> 00:09:01,130 very rudimentary first podcast recordings. That's how I got 141 00:09:01,130 --> 00:09:04,130 started. So very similar to what Michelle is doing right there. 142 00:09:05,250 --> 00:09:08,890 That's very progressive for your first show. That's a very. That's very 143 00:09:08,890 --> 00:09:12,690 ambitious. You don't hear most people starting like that. That's something that you grow 144 00:09:12,690 --> 00:09:16,410 into. So. So the fact that you started at that level is. 145 00:09:16,410 --> 00:09:19,810 Is really impressive to hear right off the bat. Well, 146 00:09:20,290 --> 00:09:23,690 it definitely. I'm. I'm kind of like an out of the box 147 00:09:23,690 --> 00:09:27,250 thinker. And the way that I think was also 148 00:09:27,490 --> 00:09:30,930 I recorded the Instagram lives, and 149 00:09:30,930 --> 00:09:34,610 afterwards I thought these were some really amazing guests and takeaway. 150 00:09:35,330 --> 00:09:39,090 I don't want that they just lived on Instagram on social media. 151 00:09:39,090 --> 00:09:42,880 I actually think that we should have them recorded for eternity, which 152 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,520 is what podcasts really are. They are like books, right? You. 153 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,640 I mean, you will always have them. You always can go back and enjoy them. 154 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160 And that's how I extracted that video and transcribed it and 155 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,080 basically then also even shared the video now on my 156 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,600 YouTube channel. They are like, you know, Instagram 157 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,680 live quality, but they're still there. 158 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,800 Yeah, that's great. And this is a great example of what, when you're 159 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,190 creating content, what all can you do with it? What 160 00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:14,630 extra can you create from it? Can you create shorts? Can you 161 00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:18,470 download it and create a podcast like Christian was doing? Can 162 00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:22,310 you re upload that to YouTube? Can you create shorts out of it? You 163 00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:26,030 know, small clips, viral moments. And that's kind of what Michelle Wolf 164 00:10:26,030 --> 00:10:29,750 is doing here too. She's recording the show, and I'm sure 165 00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:33,510 she'll promote the clips all throughout social media. Well, 166 00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:37,030 and what I love about the standup comedy, of course, is 167 00:10:37,270 --> 00:10:41,030 that we can't all travel to Barcelona, Spain, and 168 00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:44,470 watch her. But sharing that with us 169 00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:48,430 really creates this moment of community, which is what podcasting 170 00:10:48,430 --> 00:10:52,270 really is all about, that you feel like you are learning about something you would 171 00:10:52,270 --> 00:10:56,110 have otherwise never really been able to tap into. So this is an 172 00:10:56,110 --> 00:10:59,430 amazing example of podcasting taking to the next level. 173 00:11:00,310 --> 00:11:03,910 Yeah, I love this story. I really think this is the future 174 00:11:03,910 --> 00:11:07,760 model of podcasting. And Michelle Wolf is already ahead of the curve here 175 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,400 on this one. Nice job. Really, really beautiful. 176 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,200 Let's go to story number two. We're going to neurosurgery. 177 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,120 This is one of those things where I always like to find podcasts and 178 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,960 segments. I never thought There'd be a podcast. So this one we're going to file 179 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,080 under. This is a neurosurgery. 180 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,000 What happens when you take one of the most high stakes medical 181 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,670 specialties in the world and put it live on stage? 182 00:11:34,910 --> 00:11:38,710 You get honesty. At Brain Waves 2025, the 183 00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:42,510 Neurosurgery Podcast went live with Columbia Neurosurgery 184 00:11:42,830 --> 00:11:46,270 Chair, Dr. Sander Connolly. Connolly. 185 00:11:46,270 --> 00:11:49,630 Connolly. Alongside outspoken hosts Dr. 186 00:11:49,710 --> 00:11:52,830 Michael Wang and John Paul Kolkom. 187 00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:57,030 The result was a bold, on the record conversation tackling 188 00:11:57,030 --> 00:12:00,190 some of the most controversial issues in modern medicine, 189 00:12:00,700 --> 00:12:04,540 from who should be allowed to treat neurological conditions, to 190 00:12:04,540 --> 00:12:07,740 whether neurosurgeon autonomy is disappearing, 191 00:12:08,140 --> 00:12:11,260 to why doctor run hospitals don't exist in the U.S. 192 00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:15,620 this wasn't just a podcast episode. It was a profession. 193 00:12:15,620 --> 00:12:18,940 Thinking out loud, live and in public. 194 00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:23,220 And we've seen a lot of this with universities especially. This was at 195 00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:26,220 Columbia University. Columbia Neurosurgery, 196 00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:30,910 the higher education system is really embracing this idea 197 00:12:30,910 --> 00:12:34,470 of live podcasting, maybe as a value add to their 198 00:12:34,470 --> 00:12:37,990 students so that the students can see what's possible in the career, 199 00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:41,350 but they're also getting this firsthand experience of 200 00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:44,550 what's it actually like to be in the field. 201 00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:48,470 Yeah, I love this example for two reasons. I mean, first, 202 00:12:48,630 --> 00:12:52,390 neurosurgery sounds scary to us, right? We are like, oh, my 203 00:12:52,390 --> 00:12:56,190 gosh, I don't even know what that entails. But to really bring it to a 204 00:12:56,190 --> 00:12:59,670 level where the whole world could tune in, that is just 205 00:12:59,750 --> 00:13:02,950 beautiful. Right. So that's my first love about this 206 00:13:03,350 --> 00:13:06,710 translation of a complicated concept into 207 00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:10,389 everybody's ears. And secondly, what I think is 208 00:13:10,389 --> 00:13:13,990 absolutely amazing is this interaction, really, 209 00:13:14,070 --> 00:13:17,670 of topics that might be trending or might be in the 210 00:13:17,670 --> 00:13:20,830 news. So we are kind of like feeling it's even 211 00:13:20,830 --> 00:13:24,590 expanding our horizon of what medicine is 212 00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:27,970 capable of with two top surgeons right there 213 00:13:28,370 --> 00:13:32,050 and sharing that with us. Because I think if. 214 00:13:32,050 --> 00:13:35,770 If you're not really opening specific magazines, you'll 215 00:13:35,770 --> 00:13:39,290 probably never find out about this. But here you are meeting these top 216 00:13:39,290 --> 00:13:42,930 surgeons and they're sharing something with you from modern medicine 217 00:13:43,410 --> 00:13:47,130 that is just really beautiful. So first sharing it with us, but then also 218 00:13:47,130 --> 00:13:50,850 taking us to the next level, taking us along on the train of 219 00:13:50,850 --> 00:13:54,510 knowledge that is just absolutely brilliant. Yeah. 220 00:13:54,510 --> 00:13:58,070 Imagine 20 years ago, how long it would have taken you to hear from 221 00:13:58,070 --> 00:14:01,390 the top leaders in your field. You'd have to wait for a 222 00:14:01,390 --> 00:14:04,870 publication, wait for it to get published, then get the article 223 00:14:04,950 --> 00:14:08,390 delivered to you, then you could read it. But here, 224 00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:12,230 the top people in this field are on stage. They're talking 225 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:15,950 Back and forth, sharing their ideas, their experiences, where they think 226 00:14:15,950 --> 00:14:19,200 the future is going to, maybe even taking Q and A at the end, 227 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,560 you've cut down the time to share information 228 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,920 by a factor of 1000. You're really getting the info right to 229 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,920 the people the day that they're there to consume it. 230 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,080 Exactly. And what I also love is 231 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,680 that we probably didn't even know these people previously. 232 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,390 So I, a few months ago, had a colonoscopy, and 233 00:14:44,390 --> 00:14:47,830 I realized when I was researching colonoscopies, even 234 00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:50,950 on social media, that a fair amount of celebrities 235 00:14:51,510 --> 00:14:55,350 have shared their colonoscopies on 236 00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:59,110 Instagram or even, like, sometimes live. I know. Listen to this, Jeff. 237 00:14:59,110 --> 00:15:02,710 Right? This sounds really, absolutely crazy, but now think 238 00:15:02,710 --> 00:15:06,390 about it, that celebrities did 239 00:15:06,390 --> 00:15:10,230 that for a very specific reason. I think Katie Couric did that 240 00:15:10,390 --> 00:15:13,920 because I think her husband struggled with 241 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,440 certain health conditions. So they are basically taking 242 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,840 a medical condition and showing us. Giving us 243 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,600 all the glimpse into medicine is not scary. It's really there 244 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,720 to make us better. And don't procrastinate until the last minute to get 245 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,520 these routine checkups. And same with neurosurgery. You kind of 246 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,000 translate that into something we understand. You might all of a sudden 247 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,810 realize that maybe these surgeons are 248 00:15:40,810 --> 00:15:44,490 actually there to help you. It's not scary. You can go and 249 00:15:44,490 --> 00:15:48,090 see a doctor if you feel something isn't right and maybe 250 00:15:48,090 --> 00:15:51,530 just ask good questions about it. But at the end of the day, 251 00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:55,650 medicine is really just an improvement, especially now with where we 252 00:15:55,650 --> 00:15:59,490 are with AI, an improvement in our life conditions compared to, 253 00:15:59,490 --> 00:16:02,810 as you mentioned 20 years ago. So I love that about this particular 254 00:16:02,890 --> 00:16:06,580 podcast. Yeah. And think about no matter what industry 255 00:16:06,660 --> 00:16:10,380 you're in, what you study, what you're passionate about, there's 256 00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:13,900 a group of people who are the experts in that industry. And if you're starting 257 00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:17,060 to present information, if you're starting to share what you know 258 00:16:17,780 --> 00:16:21,380 in your own little niche, you could rise up to become the 259 00:16:21,380 --> 00:16:25,220 expert in that industry. And so don't just think of this story as, this is 260 00:16:25,220 --> 00:16:28,980 only for neurosurgeons. This is also maybe for accountants 261 00:16:28,980 --> 00:16:32,030 or consultants or people who collect and trade 262 00:16:32,430 --> 00:16:36,110 Pokemon. You can become the expert, and then you could be on 263 00:16:36,110 --> 00:16:39,790 stage at certain conferences, certain events, talking about the thing 264 00:16:39,790 --> 00:16:43,470 you love in front of people who also love the thing you love. 265 00:16:44,510 --> 00:16:48,270 Exactly. And of course, think of you 266 00:16:48,510 --> 00:16:52,030 as the expert becoming a leader in your 267 00:16:52,030 --> 00:16:55,790 field. And it could be now, as Jeff mentioned, Pokemon 268 00:16:55,790 --> 00:16:59,290 cards or anything like that, because as soon as you are passionate about 269 00:16:59,290 --> 00:17:03,010 something, it's going to translate into what the audience really hears 270 00:17:03,010 --> 00:17:06,610 in your voice, in the way that you act, in the way that you describe 271 00:17:06,610 --> 00:17:10,250 it because you are acting as somebody who's so passionate about 272 00:17:10,250 --> 00:17:13,970 it that they want to share it with the world and explain to 273 00:17:13,970 --> 00:17:16,330 the world why this is such an amazing thing. 274 00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:21,450 Awesome. Let's keep it going. Our third story today we're going 275 00:17:21,450 --> 00:17:25,090 to the court. From the the. From the the 276 00:17:25,090 --> 00:17:28,570 operating room to the court. Former NBA 277 00:17:28,570 --> 00:17:32,170 stars Mike Bibby, Brad Miller, Eddie House and 278 00:17:32,170 --> 00:17:35,650 Ty Ellis brought the Straight Game podcast to a live 279 00:17:35,650 --> 00:17:39,330 audience for the first time in California with a taping at 280 00:17:39,330 --> 00:17:43,090 Sky River Casino. A hometown moment for Bibby that 281 00:17:43,090 --> 00:17:46,890 felt more like a reunion than a recording. Covered by 282 00:17:46,890 --> 00:17:50,250 ABC10. The night delivered classic NBA 283 00:17:50,250 --> 00:17:54,010 storytelling, locker room insight and unscripted 284 00:17:54,010 --> 00:17:57,690 humor, including crowd favorite moment when Bibby was 285 00:17:57,690 --> 00:18:01,450 asked if his son could beat him one on one. The event 286 00:18:01,530 --> 00:18:05,210 marked the first of four planned live tapings at the venue, 287 00:18:05,450 --> 00:18:09,170 signaling how athlete led podcasts are evolving 288 00:18:09,170 --> 00:18:12,410 into full scale ticketed entertainment 289 00:18:12,410 --> 00:18:16,210 experiences. And this one really builds off of what we were just 290 00:18:16,210 --> 00:18:20,010 talking about. These were the experts in basketball. These were some 291 00:18:20,010 --> 00:18:23,410 of the best players that come out in the last 20 years. 292 00:18:23,730 --> 00:18:27,170 And here they are hosting a show in front of an 293 00:18:27,170 --> 00:18:30,610 audience who loves basketball. Loved watching them play 294 00:18:31,090 --> 00:18:34,850 and they're just having a good time sharing their love of basketball. 295 00:18:36,210 --> 00:18:40,010 Well, exactly. And what I actually like, it's somewhat unscripted behind 296 00:18:40,010 --> 00:18:43,780 the scenes and really authentic because if there is one thing, 297 00:18:43,780 --> 00:18:47,580 if you watch tv, it's been heavily edited. They have been given 298 00:18:47,580 --> 00:18:50,300 questions, they have been given directions by their PR 299 00:18:50,860 --> 00:18:54,380 agents, but here they're just people. And 300 00:18:54,380 --> 00:18:58,140 don't we love that when people act authentically because we actually 301 00:18:58,780 --> 00:19:02,140 meet who they really are and what they really care about. 302 00:19:02,460 --> 00:19:06,300 And the behind the scenes is just always so interesting 303 00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:10,080 and intriguing. We love it. I think there's just so much about this 304 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,800 and it's a brilliant idea really in terms of especially looking at athletes 305 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,120 lives that it's a, it's a beautiful concept really. 306 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,240 Yeah. And it's a fun night out if you're a basketball fan. If you love 307 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,880 watching basketball, maybe this is near a place where they play 308 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,520 professional sports. You're able to go out. A lot of These events 309 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,240 are 15, 20, $25. They're not very 310 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,810 expensive ticketed events. You get to hang out, you get to 311 00:19:35,810 --> 00:19:39,610 see how these famous players react in the moment, how 312 00:19:39,610 --> 00:19:43,170 they interact with each other, goof on each other. A lot of times 313 00:19:43,170 --> 00:19:46,890 professional athletes, you know, they play jokes on each other, they tell locker 314 00:19:46,890 --> 00:19:50,450 room stories or Funny moments from traveling around the country. 315 00:19:50,930 --> 00:19:54,690 And you get to get all this in the first person perspective. 316 00:19:54,690 --> 00:19:58,290 You get to be immersed in the moment in the same room that they're in 317 00:19:58,290 --> 00:20:01,870 telling these stories. Well. And what I 318 00:20:01,870 --> 00:20:05,590 like too is that some of these athletes might have never 319 00:20:05,590 --> 00:20:08,870 met otherwise. Right. I mean, it's not that they're always 320 00:20:08,950 --> 00:20:12,670 necessarily playing each other in games, but 321 00:20:12,670 --> 00:20:15,669 they're just kind of hanging out there. So for me, 322 00:20:16,390 --> 00:20:19,990 whenever I think about something like that, I always think of 323 00:20:19,990 --> 00:20:23,750 like reality tv, how that's absolutely not authentic. 324 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:27,270 It's really scripted. But this is really the true reality 325 00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:30,830 TV here. Jeff, don't you think that's a much better description of reality 326 00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:34,350 tv? Yeah. You can't get much more real than 327 00:20:34,350 --> 00:20:38,070 touring sports players telling stories of being on the road and 328 00:20:38,310 --> 00:20:42,070 the hard fought battles on the court. There's nothing scripted, I'm 329 00:20:42,070 --> 00:20:45,830 sure, about this conversation. They may have a layout of things 330 00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:49,590 they want to talk about, but I guarantee you, everything you heard on that 331 00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:53,300 stage was uncut and raw and unfiltered. Love it. 332 00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:56,860 That's like beautiful concept to really keep us 333 00:20:56,860 --> 00:21:00,620 curious. And curiosity sometimes is really something that 334 00:21:00,620 --> 00:21:04,420 leads to that diversion that you need in your very stressful day. Yeah, it's a 335 00:21:04,420 --> 00:21:06,620 great way to get out. And like I said, if you have the worst night 336 00:21:06,620 --> 00:21:10,460 of your life, you're only out 20 bucks, $25. And you got 337 00:21:10,460 --> 00:21:13,300 to go to a casino, you got to go to a theater, you got to 338 00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:17,140 see a live show. It's not a bad night out. I like it. 339 00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:20,900 Yeah, well, when you're out, you might get the munchies. 340 00:21:21,140 --> 00:21:24,340 The movie Munchies Go fully 341 00:21:24,340 --> 00:21:28,060 interactive. This is one of the new type of stories we're trying to incorporate 342 00:21:28,060 --> 00:21:31,060 into the show. A lot of people have asked me about live 343 00:21:31,380 --> 00:21:35,060 streaming. One, you're performing on a stage, but like Christiane did on 344 00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:38,740 Instagram, she did a live stream and then repurposed that live stream. 345 00:21:38,820 --> 00:21:42,340 Well, that's also a performance that you're doing live in the moment. 346 00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:45,840 And so we started to incorporate some, some of the more popular live 347 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,120 streams into the storyline. And the line between 348 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,040 podcast live stream and watch party keeps getting 349 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,720 thinner. The best thing we watch this week proves why. 350 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,040 Streaming live on The Movie Munchies YouTube channel, the show 351 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,520 teamed up with the Ruby Tuesday for a fully 352 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,920 interactive episode breaking down everything from crime 353 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,460 thriller, the Rip to 28 years later, the 354 00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:14,900 Bone Temple and Peacock's Cold War spy series 355 00:22:14,980 --> 00:22:18,420 Ponies. But the real magic wasn't just the 356 00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:21,780 reviews. It was the live audience interactions. 357 00:22:22,260 --> 00:22:25,300 Viewers didn't just watch. They joined the conversation, 358 00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:29,140 shared recommendations, and helped shape the show in real time. 359 00:22:29,620 --> 00:22:33,140 Turning a movie chat into a shared live experience. 360 00:22:34,180 --> 00:22:37,700 And something like this, this is kind of what you were doing on Instagram. 361 00:22:38,130 --> 00:22:41,970 They're, they're talking about movies and interact, getting their 362 00:22:41,970 --> 00:22:45,690 audience involved, answering questions. What were some of the things that 363 00:22:45,690 --> 00:22:49,330 you really liked about not just this story, but your own livestream experience? 364 00:22:49,970 --> 00:22:53,730 Well, what was the coolest was when you had guests that of course 365 00:22:53,730 --> 00:22:57,330 they wrote their own home. And sometimes, I mean, of course 366 00:22:57,410 --> 00:23:00,210 I asked them certain questions like, oh, 367 00:23:01,170 --> 00:23:04,760 like for instance, what is like your Petite 368 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,560 Practice and how do you stay healthy or how do you build your business, 369 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,720 etc. But then I would sometimes like point on things in the kitchen. I would 370 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,760 say, oh my gosh, what is that cute mom there in the background? And then 371 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,280 they would like guide us around in the house. They were like, oh, let me 372 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,560 show you my kitchen while I'm here. And that was just so fun. It was 373 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,400 like, keep going, we want to see more. And I liked it. And then 374 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,000 of course, I would watch the screen and see how people commented 375 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,080 and read the questions that the live audience posted 376 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,600 while we were actually recording, which was really neat. And 377 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,480 people would tell their friends, you got to learn, Cristiana is talking to this person 378 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,200 right there. And it was really nice. It's just a great way 379 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,720 to connect the world. You don't think of it as this 380 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,520 live stream is kind of like a portal to the world where you're up on 381 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,080 stage, you're broadcasting, and people from anywhere 382 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,140 can leave a comment. You can even give them a link in some cases to 383 00:23:58,140 --> 00:24:01,060 pop up on screen to join you real time. 384 00:24:01,780 --> 00:24:05,540 It's really the most simple way to bring 385 00:24:05,540 --> 00:24:09,300 the world together. Exactly. And what was fun about 386 00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:13,020 it too is we would announce it ahead of time and then I 387 00:24:13,020 --> 00:24:16,780 would sometimes read out the questions from the people that couldn't make 388 00:24:16,780 --> 00:24:20,220 it, but sometimes I would read out the questions from the people and if they 389 00:24:20,220 --> 00:24:23,720 were there, I was like, well, if you are here, you can hop on, maybe 390 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,360 even ask a follow up question because your question was asked, but you're here. 391 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:30,720 Let's get some reward for the fact that you actually showed up and 392 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,680 listened to this right now. And that makes it fun too, because people have something 393 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,960 to look forward to. They already submitted that question. Now they actually want to see 394 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,680 what this guest said with regard to the response. So it's really interactive. 395 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,000 Yeah, A great way to connect people. Tell your own stories. And like you 396 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,760 said, I'm looking at their background all the things that they have 397 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,840 hidden in there. And I'd love to hear some of the stories of, you know, 398 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,640 how they acquired some of those pieces and, you know, why, why 399 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,920 they're drawn to certain characters. Yeah. I mean it 400 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,040 in general, it's the best thing about, if you think 401 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,720 about, like, TV recording, I mean, Jeff is sitting in the 402 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,560 studio. You can see my background here, and it's just so fun about 403 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,520 really showing the humanity in us. 404 00:25:16,930 --> 00:25:20,690 Yeah, let's keep it moving. Let's keep the show running because 405 00:25:20,690 --> 00:25:24,290 we're going to shoe talk. 40 runs 406 00:25:24,290 --> 00:25:27,850 turns shoe confusion into live coaching. This was a really 407 00:25:27,850 --> 00:25:30,930 interesting way to do a live podcast. 408 00:25:31,410 --> 00:25:35,010 Chasing the right running shoes can feel overwhelming, but 40 409 00:25:35,090 --> 00:25:38,690 runs Shoe Talk show is making it simpler by going live. 410 00:25:39,170 --> 00:25:42,700 Streaming every Monday night, this weekly video podcast 411 00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:46,540 invites runners into a real time Q and A where they can ask 412 00:25:46,540 --> 00:25:50,340 honest questions about everything from daily trainers versus race 413 00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:53,860 shoes to carbon plates cushioning, stability and 414 00:25:53,860 --> 00:25:57,700 injury prevention. Hosted by a qualified running coach, 415 00:25:57,940 --> 00:26:01,460 the show blends expert guidance with live interaction, 416 00:26:01,780 --> 00:26:05,460 then repurposes each episode into both video and audio 417 00:26:05,460 --> 00:26:09,070 podcasts. It's a great example of how live podcasting 418 00:26:09,070 --> 00:26:12,510 turns niche expertise into trust, clarity, 419 00:26:12,830 --> 00:26:15,470 and ongoing learning community. 420 00:26:16,670 --> 00:26:20,390 And one of the shows I really love just the 421 00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:24,030 concept of here's an expert on running. People getting 422 00:26:24,030 --> 00:26:27,670 into running, especially this time of year, January, people are thinking about 423 00:26:27,670 --> 00:26:31,470 being healthier, getting more active. And here's a 424 00:26:31,470 --> 00:26:35,230 guy that knows about shoes, knows about running, knows about safety, and, 425 00:26:35,570 --> 00:26:39,370 and the best way to fit a shoe to your foot. I think this time 426 00:26:39,370 --> 00:26:42,930 of year, this story, I think it's a good match for a lot of people 427 00:26:42,930 --> 00:26:46,650 getting into physical activity. I like that you use the 428 00:26:46,650 --> 00:26:50,490 word match. Nearly sounds like it's a fit. The shoe fits 429 00:26:50,490 --> 00:26:54,210 and the podcast fits. Really brilliant. 430 00:26:55,170 --> 00:26:57,170 What I like about this concept is 431 00:26:58,530 --> 00:27:02,260 sometimes if you think about going to a store, you don't even 432 00:27:02,260 --> 00:27:05,820 know exactly what you're looking for. You're like, why I need a sneaker. 433 00:27:05,820 --> 00:27:09,500 But until you really set a foot to say it, like, 434 00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:12,740 literally into the store, you don't even know what differences there are. 435 00:27:13,140 --> 00:27:16,740 So this podcast allows you to do some research before you actually pick 436 00:27:16,740 --> 00:27:20,540 something out yourself, especially if you haven't bought sneakers for 437 00:27:20,540 --> 00:27:24,180 a while. There's probably a lot of research that has 438 00:27:24,180 --> 00:27:27,740 happened and has translated into the latest research and 439 00:27:27,740 --> 00:27:31,220 how sneakers are made now, say, compared to five years ago. 440 00:27:31,780 --> 00:27:35,460 And I think this is brilliant because it breaks it down a little bit 441 00:27:35,460 --> 00:27:39,220 and making it even, like, easier for you to narrow 442 00:27:39,220 --> 00:27:43,060 it down before you go to A store and then maybe even 443 00:27:43,060 --> 00:27:46,900 choose something much more educated. So it's, it's truly 444 00:27:47,140 --> 00:27:50,740 the best in terms of like sharing an insight with you 445 00:27:50,740 --> 00:27:54,560 that again, another expert has right here. Yeah, 446 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,320 you get the host's perspective but you also, in the comments you probably get 447 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,800 other runners perspectives and maybe you have a 448 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,640 specific question. Somebody else probably already answered that 449 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,239 in their life or they figured out a solution to that problem. Even if the 450 00:28:09,239 --> 00:28:13,040 host doesn't know that community is working together to 451 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,600 put the show together, to give answers and to help people. 452 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,870 Maybe they're newcomers to running, maybe they were seasoned veterans, but 453 00:28:20,950 --> 00:28:24,710 they all need to learn something at different points and that community can 454 00:28:24,790 --> 00:28:28,470 really lean on each other and answer each other's questions. I did 455 00:28:28,470 --> 00:28:32,110 an Instagram Live once, Jeff. I made a smoothie on the, on the 456 00:28:32,110 --> 00:28:35,830 Instagram and I put all the ingredients in and I was like, oh my gosh, 457 00:28:35,830 --> 00:28:38,270 Now I didn't think about the fact that I guess I need to start the 458 00:28:38,270 --> 00:28:41,830 blender at some point. Now this is really the unattractive part about making something 459 00:28:41,830 --> 00:28:45,350 life because it's allowed. But it was cool because 460 00:28:45,870 --> 00:28:49,150 I just kind of muted it and I said, well, I'm going to run the 461 00:28:49,150 --> 00:28:51,670 blender right now, so let me just mute it right now. And meanwhile you can 462 00:28:51,670 --> 00:28:55,350 pop questions in and some people really ask questions about the ingredients. You 463 00:28:55,350 --> 00:28:58,870 said, well, could I, for instance, instead of this 464 00:28:58,870 --> 00:29:02,630 fruit or instead of this vegetable, could I use something different? And 465 00:29:02,630 --> 00:29:06,390 so I even like overcame this little obstacle and 466 00:29:06,390 --> 00:29:10,110 made it into an opportunity to interact with the audience and figure 467 00:29:10,110 --> 00:29:12,360 out what smoothie ingredients they would really enjoy. 468 00:29:14,030 --> 00:29:17,830 Well, you had to mix the ingredients. Let's go to the 469 00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:21,150 morning mix. One of the things I love is traditional media 470 00:29:22,510 --> 00:29:26,110 going into new media formats. And we're seeing a lot of this where 471 00:29:26,110 --> 00:29:29,830 morning shows or radio shows are going out into the 472 00:29:29,830 --> 00:29:33,310 community and they're recording their podcast live. They do 473 00:29:33,310 --> 00:29:36,670 extra content, bonus content, and they release it as a 474 00:29:36,670 --> 00:29:40,110 podcast. Here's an example where they're doing a remote. 475 00:29:40,650 --> 00:29:44,370 Morning radio is stepping into the spotlight as the morning mix 476 00:29:44,370 --> 00:29:47,970 goes live on stage, hosts Chris, Nikki and 477 00:29:47,970 --> 00:29:51,210 Whip are bringing their most loved segments 478 00:29:51,530 --> 00:29:54,730 like Chris's 3 Thursday, 3 Style, 479 00:29:54,970 --> 00:29:58,810 Nikki's Thousand Dollar Minute and Whip's hot take 480 00:29:58,810 --> 00:30:02,570 out of the studio and in front of a live audience at the North 481 00:30:02,570 --> 00:30:06,290 Shore center for the Performing Arts. The hour long show will 482 00:30:06,290 --> 00:30:09,990 be recorded and released as a special podcast edition and with 483 00:30:09,990 --> 00:30:13,430 100% of the tickets, proceeds benefiting the North 484 00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:17,270 Shore center foundation and its youtheater program. 485 00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:21,590 Proving that live podcasting can entertain, engage, and 486 00:30:21,590 --> 00:30:25,390 give back all at once. What a brilliant idea. I really 487 00:30:25,390 --> 00:30:28,470 like the charity angle at the end. That's brilliant. 488 00:30:29,430 --> 00:30:33,270 Yeah. This is one of those things where you can do something as a community 489 00:30:33,590 --> 00:30:37,240 get together, and at the end of the night, something good can come of 490 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,360 it. It doesn't always have to be about who can sell the most tickets and 491 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,000 fill the most arenas. A lot of times you can do something that's a 492 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,440 fun night out. You can raffle off gift baskets. You can 493 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,040 have the strip tickets, the tearaway tickets, and 494 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,080 give back money not only to the fans, but to the 495 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,840 charities through little games of chance. But you can 496 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,650 raise additional money and then feel. Imagine how good you feel. But 497 00:31:02,650 --> 00:31:05,530 you get to get entertained all night, and then at the end of the night, 498 00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:08,810 you get to make a big donation to a local charity to help. 499 00:31:09,450 --> 00:31:12,330 Looks like a youth performing arts, the youth theater program. 500 00:31:13,610 --> 00:31:16,970 It's a really cool concept because it bridges so many different 501 00:31:17,050 --> 00:31:20,610 aspects. And in this particular case, I love how you said 502 00:31:20,610 --> 00:31:23,690 earlier, brings these three powerhouses together 503 00:31:24,330 --> 00:31:27,770 that usually, I mean, it says right there, it brings their 504 00:31:27,850 --> 00:31:31,250 most loved segments together. I mean, think about. This is like a 505 00:31:31,410 --> 00:31:35,250 highlight reel of three superstars right there. And all 506 00:31:35,250 --> 00:31:39,010 that for charity. That's a win. Win. Yeah. And, you know, a 507 00:31:39,010 --> 00:31:42,810 lot of times we talk about when you listen to a podcast or you 508 00:31:42,810 --> 00:31:46,570 listen to people on the radio, a lot of times you try to imagine what 509 00:31:46,570 --> 00:31:50,290 people look like or, you know, how they react in different moments. 510 00:31:50,290 --> 00:31:54,130 And in 100% of the cases, you've never guessed 511 00:31:54,130 --> 00:31:57,800 correctly what somebody looks like from their voice. But when you get them out of 512 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,560 the theater, out of their home studio and onto a stage, and you get to 513 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,120 see these people face to face for the first time, you get to see them 514 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,440 smile, you get to see them light up when somebody asks them a question. 515 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,200 You get to see them talk to each other and react to each other. 516 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,160 You can't get that from an audio show or from a radio 517 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,880 broadcast, but when you're in the moment, you get that fly 518 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,500 on the wall feeling that you're there finally watching them 519 00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:27,340 and seeing how they. How they are in every moment, in every aspect 520 00:32:27,340 --> 00:32:31,180 of the performance. Oh, I have a. I have a really emotional 521 00:32:31,180 --> 00:32:34,900 story for you about that, too. What I did, I have a really 522 00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:38,580 good friend, and she came to my TEDx show, right? 523 00:32:38,900 --> 00:32:41,620 And I had never seen her before in person. 524 00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:46,220 So she set herself in the first row, and when I stood 525 00:32:46,220 --> 00:32:49,300 on stage, from the corner of my eye could see her. 526 00:32:51,510 --> 00:32:55,230 But that was like the Moment I really had to give my talk. Right. And 527 00:32:55,230 --> 00:32:58,950 so I was like, I was kind of, like, torn between, like, glancing down 528 00:32:58,950 --> 00:33:02,150 and looking at her and continuing with my TEDx talk. 529 00:33:02,790 --> 00:33:06,230 And then later on now, when I watch the YouTube video, 530 00:33:06,309 --> 00:33:10,150 actually can see her, how she looks at me. And it's just really cute 531 00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:14,030 because we are really good friends. And how it connected seeing 532 00:33:14,030 --> 00:33:17,590 me for the first time in real life on stage, where we only 533 00:33:17,590 --> 00:33:21,440 ever talked via zoom in on the phone. So. So I think moments like 534 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,920 that are always really cool and special where you say, 535 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,840 like, sometimes we just hear the voice, but we don't see the person. So 536 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,600 to see everybody here and have them, like, really 537 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,400 feed off their energy together, that's absolutely magic. 538 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,040 Yeah. I try to explain to people that when you listen to a podcast, 539 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,880 if it's done pretty well, you feel like you're in the room a lot of 540 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,400 times with the host. Like, you feel like you're sitting in there at the table 541 00:33:47,930 --> 00:33:51,450 listening to this conversation. And it's such a surreal experience. 542 00:33:52,090 --> 00:33:55,890 When you finally get out to a small theater and you get to 543 00:33:55,890 --> 00:33:59,450 see them up on stage, now you're actually in the room 544 00:33:59,930 --> 00:34:03,570 while they're performing the show. So all that, everything that you've 545 00:34:03,570 --> 00:34:07,370 built up listening to the show over the years is now right in 546 00:34:07,370 --> 00:34:11,090 front of you. And it's just this experience that's hard 547 00:34:11,090 --> 00:34:14,920 to explain because you've heard these people so many times, and now 548 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,760 you're seeing them in person doing the thing you've been listening to for, you know, 549 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,720 50 episodes. It's. It's. I try to tell 550 00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:26,360 people over and over again, you have to just experience a podcast live, especially 551 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,080 one that you like. If they're ever in town near you, go. 552 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,720 Go see them. Go have a night out. Go listen. Go watch the 553 00:34:33,720 --> 00:34:37,200 podcast you've been listening to. You won't believe how much it changes your 554 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:41,000 perspective about what podcasting is and how much goes into it. 555 00:34:41,970 --> 00:34:45,570 For sure. Yeah. Actually, a friend of mine recently 556 00:34:46,130 --> 00:34:49,890 visited my. My town here and. And visited my. 557 00:34:49,890 --> 00:34:53,650 My campus where I work as a professor. And I ran 558 00:34:53,650 --> 00:34:57,490 into him, not knowing that he would be here. And of course, he 559 00:34:57,490 --> 00:35:01,290 immediately recognized me because I'm kind of like a recognizable person. 560 00:35:01,290 --> 00:35:04,770 Like my bun. Right. And just the way that I look like. And I act 561 00:35:04,770 --> 00:35:08,300 like I'm always really bubbly, energetic. And so he saw me 562 00:35:08,460 --> 00:35:12,100 and he was like, oh, my gosh, it's Dr. Christiane. And then I saw 563 00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:15,820 him, and guess what I did, of course, on the next day, invited 564 00:35:15,820 --> 00:35:19,500 him to my house and we did a live recording for my podcast because 565 00:35:19,580 --> 00:35:23,420 that is some magic you can't recreate to have somebody visit that 566 00:35:23,420 --> 00:35:27,180 I knew for my podcast. And then, of course, I invited him as a guest. 567 00:35:27,660 --> 00:35:31,180 So I completely agree with Jeff. That is an amazing experience, 568 00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:34,890 and it's a beautiful way of kind of like going full 569 00:35:34,890 --> 00:35:38,090 circle on something you otherwise would not have 570 00:35:38,090 --> 00:35:41,890 experienced. Yeah, I really wish everybody got 571 00:35:41,890 --> 00:35:44,770 to do that. So if you ever get a chance, anytime you get to see 572 00:35:44,770 --> 00:35:47,530 a live podcast in your town, doesn't have to be here where we are in 573 00:35:47,530 --> 00:35:51,250 Pittsburgh, but wherever you're at, there's people performing live podcasts 574 00:35:51,250 --> 00:35:54,770 all over the world. And here's six more examples that we gave you 575 00:35:54,770 --> 00:35:58,570 tonight, which brings us to the end of the show already. I warned you. 576 00:35:58,570 --> 00:36:02,230 It goes fast. Well, Christy, 577 00:36:02,230 --> 00:36:05,910 one more time, let's make sure we get your links out to everybody. What's the 578 00:36:05,910 --> 00:36:09,430 best way to connect with you? And we'll drop those into the show 579 00:36:09,430 --> 00:36:13,230 notes for sure. Well, check out my YouTube channel. You 580 00:36:13,230 --> 00:36:16,590 get the bubbly me that I am and all the amazing 581 00:36:16,590 --> 00:36:20,310 videos, the guests that I'm sharing there, of course, the insights. 582 00:36:20,550 --> 00:36:24,230 It's Dr. Christiana is my YouTube channel. So 583 00:36:24,230 --> 00:36:27,730 it's written out D, O, C, C, T O, R. 584 00:36:27,970 --> 00:36:31,770 And then my first name, which is Christian with an e. And of 585 00:36:31,770 --> 00:36:34,770 course, what I would encourage you is check out my podcast, 586 00:36:35,250 --> 00:36:38,770 because there you can scroll all the way back to the beginning, 587 00:36:38,930 --> 00:36:42,650 and you can listen to those Instagram lives and those guests 588 00:36:42,650 --> 00:36:46,490 that we recorded on Instagram lives way back then in 23 when I 589 00:36:46,490 --> 00:36:50,050 got started, and it still turned into an amazing podcast 590 00:36:50,050 --> 00:36:53,570 episode. So I would encourage you, thinking outside the box 591 00:36:53,570 --> 00:36:56,130 sometimes turns into the most beautiful moments of connection. 592 00:36:58,250 --> 00:37:02,090 Yeah. Go back to the beginning. It's always fun to see the progress, too. So, 593 00:37:02,090 --> 00:37:05,690 you know, everybody starts somewhere. And you hear those first couple episodes, 594 00:37:05,850 --> 00:37:09,490 you kind of see the foundation of what will become the podcast. 595 00:37:09,490 --> 00:37:13,290 And as you grow with each episode, you'll hear 596 00:37:13,290 --> 00:37:17,050 how the show evolves and becomes something more and more special as 597 00:37:17,050 --> 00:37:20,810 time goes on. And it's just a great archive and a great 598 00:37:20,810 --> 00:37:24,020 way to see how you were through three, four years ago. 599 00:37:25,300 --> 00:37:28,900 Yep. The main thing is just. And we talked about this, keeping it up, 600 00:37:29,060 --> 00:37:32,860 the consistency, even. Like, sometimes you're like, oh, I don't think I 601 00:37:32,860 --> 00:37:36,340 have time to do another recording. I don't have time 602 00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:40,020 to do another episode tonight. Keep it up, because eventually 603 00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:43,220 your audience is going to wait for it and you don't want to let them 604 00:37:43,220 --> 00:37:46,340 down, so you have to. The consistency always 605 00:37:46,660 --> 00:37:50,290 beats going for perfection or going for 606 00:37:50,290 --> 00:37:54,130 procrastination. Now, once you have the audience, they're going to wait 607 00:37:54,130 --> 00:37:57,930 for you. And yeah, that's really something that feels amazing once that 608 00:37:57,930 --> 00:38:01,770 happens. Definitely. Definitely. And if you enjoyed 609 00:38:01,770 --> 00:38:05,370 anything that we talked about tonight, if you enjoyed this show, there's 40 610 00:38:05,370 --> 00:38:09,090 other examples of people doing live podcasts, six 611 00:38:09,090 --> 00:38:12,450 stories on every show. That's 240 612 00:38:12,530 --> 00:38:15,970 examples of people doing live podcasts 613 00:38:16,330 --> 00:38:20,090 out somewhere in the world.
