This is the live podcasting News for Monday, September 16 00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:02,080 1, 2025. I'm your host, Jeff Revilla. We started this 17 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,800 podcast to showcase live podcasting, how it can happen in 18 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,440 a live environment for smaller DIY podcast creators. 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,880 And each week we focus on six stories from around the country 20 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,080 showcasing live podcasting happening everywhere you 21 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,040 want to be. And right now, you want to be here at the Poduty Podcast 22 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,440 Theater. And I'll tell you why on our last story tonight. 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,200 Our first story. From basements to arenas, 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,730 podcasters are cashing in. This comes to us from 25 00:01:30,730 --> 00:01:34,490 Bloomberg. Live podcasts aren't just small club 26 00:01:34,490 --> 00:01:38,250 side hustles anymore. They're selling out arenas and raking 27 00:01:38,250 --> 00:01:41,690 in millions. Kiltoni packed Madison Square Garden twice, 28 00:01:41,690 --> 00:01:45,290 grossing nearly 4 million. While the rest is politics 29 00:01:45,290 --> 00:01:49,130 filled London's O2 Arena. Even niche shows like 30 00:01:49,130 --> 00:01:52,690 Acquired are pulling in six figures per night thanks to ticket 31 00:01:52,690 --> 00:01:56,290 sales merch and sponsorships. With minimal overhead 32 00:01:56,290 --> 00:02:00,090 compared to concerts, podcasters are turning live events into one of 33 00:02:00,090 --> 00:02:03,470 the most profitable corners of entertainment. From 34 00:02:03,470 --> 00:02:07,310 comedy crews to relationship therapists, the live podcast 35 00:02:07,310 --> 00:02:11,110 boom is rewriting what it means to go on 36 00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:14,710 tour. And if you've heard anything from this theater, the Paduti Podcast 37 00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:18,470 Theater in Tarentum, Pennsylvania, this is our gospel. 38 00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:22,190 For the last six years I've been preaching this and now we 39 00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:25,710 have a space for local independent podcasters to come in 40 00:02:25,950 --> 00:02:28,510 and do a live show. Check it 41 00:02:28,510 --> 00:02:31,870 out@paduti.com and don't just take our word for it. 42 00:02:31,870 --> 00:02:35,390 Bloomberg's writing articles on this 43 00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:38,470 type of event. Our second story, 44 00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:42,150 PowerShell goes live at Tech Mentor got this 45 00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:45,950 screenshot from YouTube and this isn't a live show, but this is 46 00:02:45,950 --> 00:02:49,470 a conference where they set up looks like in front of a closed 47 00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:53,110 coffee shop. And in the environment of the show, while 48 00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:56,950 people are walking past them, they're doing a live recording of their podcast. 49 00:02:56,950 --> 00:03:00,490 Kind of very diy. Just set up and go and see what 50 00:03:00,490 --> 00:03:04,130 happens. This is the PDQ channel on YouTube. 51 00:03:04,370 --> 00:03:08,130 The PowerShell podcast took the stage at Tech Mentor, where host 52 00:03:08,130 --> 00:03:11,970 sat down with Sean Wheeler and James Petty to talk shop. 53 00:03:12,130 --> 00:03:15,650 What started as a casual conference chatter turned into a deep 54 00:03:15,650 --> 00:03:19,370 dive on building better PowerShell profiles, learning 55 00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:23,170 strategies and even AI scripting. The takeaway? 56 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,080 You don't need to master everything, just map your path, get 57 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,520 involved in the community and use AI as a tool, 58 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,760 not a crutch. This is just a fun little way to 59 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,560 do your podcast in front of a community who's already attending an 60 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,120 event of an audience that you serve. So if you are 61 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,040 having to go to a conference, see how you can participate. How can your 62 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,480 podcast be a part of that? Our third 63 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,110 story tonight, the Severance Cast reunites 64 00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:56,870 in Podcast Mayhem. This comes to us from 5mu 65 00:03:57,030 --> 00:04:00,710 Australia. Apple TV treated fans to a live 66 00:04:00,710 --> 00:04:04,350 Severance podcast that felt more like a family reunion than 67 00:04:04,350 --> 00:04:08,190 a press event. Hosted by Patton Oswalt, the cast, 68 00:04:08,190 --> 00:04:11,990 including Ben Stiller, Adam Scott and Brit Lauer, read 69 00:04:12,230 --> 00:04:16,030 from the show's employee handbook, cracked each other up and 70 00:04:16,030 --> 00:04:19,030 reminded fans why their chemistry is off the charts. 71 00:04:19,900 --> 00:04:23,500 From silly games to serious reminders of the show's corporate themes, 72 00:04:23,740 --> 00:04:27,180 the reunion had fans gushing online while 73 00:04:27,180 --> 00:04:30,900 begging for another season. This one of my 74 00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:34,700 favorite examples of taking your show to 75 00:04:34,780 --> 00:04:38,140 your fans and television is now using this. 76 00:04:38,140 --> 00:04:41,900 Radio host are using this. They're using these to connect to fans with 77 00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:45,620 real life experiences. Take advantage of this. This is a model that's 78 00:04:45,620 --> 00:04:48,750 working for a lot of different industries. 79 00:04:49,390 --> 00:04:52,950 Our fourth story tonight. Chris Long's Green Light goes 80 00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:56,258 live Philly style. This comes to us from 93. 81 00:04:56,362 --> 00:04:59,470 7 or 97. 3 ESPN. 82 00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:03,790 Nothing says football season quite like the Eagles and Cowboys on 83 00:05:03,790 --> 00:05:07,630 opening night. And Chris Long is making it even bigger. 84 00:05:07,710 --> 00:05:11,390 The former super bowl champ is taking his Green Light podcast 85 00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:15,160 live from the Borgata in Atlantic City.

With food, drinks and a 40 foot 89 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080 LED wall, it's the perfect mix of Eagles pride, 90 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,880 podcasting and fan celebration. I mean, again, if you're 91 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,000 doing if you're a football fan and you're in the Philadelphia area, 92 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,760 Atlantic City is kind of a Philadelphia area for some reason. I guess it's the 93 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,200 closest team to Atlantic City. You can go. 94 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,560 Here's a former player connecting with his fans at a 95 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,040 live event. Great job.
