I'm Jeff. I'm going to be walking you through this 17 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,360 week's stories. We made this podcast because we have a theater 18 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,880 in downtown to random. It's just outside of Pittsburgh where we're 19 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,600 performing live podcasts. We have a live audience. We live stream these 20 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,200 and we thought it'd be fun to start tying the news from around the world 21 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,940 where there's live videos, live streams, live podcasts 22 00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:39,700 happening. And I've got six stories lined up for you for this week. Monday, 23 00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:43,500 June 23rd, 2025. Our 24 00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:45,620 first story tonight is 25 00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:51,380 about LeBron James. From Hardwood to headphones, live 26 00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:55,820 basketball minds collide in real time as LeBron James 27 00:01:55,820 --> 00:01:59,520 and Steve Nash brought their hit podcast Mind 28 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,760 the Game to a live audience this past Saturday at 29 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,440 Fanatics Fest in New York City. Known for 30 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,960 deep dive strategy and high IQ hoops talk, 31 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,120 the show has top podcast charts in us, Canada, Australia 32 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,200 and the uk Fans catch the duo 33 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,040 breaking down the NBA Finals and dissecting the game like never 34 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,480 before. This time with the energy of a live crowd 35 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,280 at the Javits Center. It's not just talk, it's basketball 36 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,040 brilliance, unfiltered and in person. And this is just 37 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,720 another way that you can bring your audience together. If you're, if 38 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,880 you're talking about crafts or arts or photography and 39 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,800 anything that you talk about, there's an audience for you. And in this case, 40 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,400 LeBron James and basketball brought together basketball fans 41 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,040 to enjoy an episode of his podcast. So keep that in mind with 42 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,880 whatever you're creating and building. There are people near you who would love 43 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,600 to have a live experience, who would love to share in the ideas 44 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,400 and thoughts you have locally. And this is one way that celebrities are now, you 45 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,240 know, cashing in on building community. They're taking their podcasts 46 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,960 where they perform. We'll go to our second 47 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,840 story. It happened oh at our theater, Poduty Live this past week. 48 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,520 We welcome back the Crips and Corks podcast because the 49 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,920 chills were uncorked once again at the Poduty Live 50 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:24,760 Podcast theater as Crips and Corks returned to the stage for 51 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,560 one ghostly night ever. This was their second appearance 52 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,080 and that was after tackling Amityville hosts 53 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,879 DJ and Paul took on Gettysburg, one 54 00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:39,600 of America's most haunted hotspots. Armed with first hand stories 55 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,000 and eerie evidence from their overnight stay at the 56 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,770 infamous Farnsworth House Inn. Blending paranormal 57 00:03:46,770 --> 00:03:50,410 tales with perfectly paired wine, this live podcast offers 58 00:03:50,410 --> 00:03:54,170 fear, fun and fermented spirits in equal measure. If 59 00:03:54,170 --> 00:03:57,930 you like your ghosts with a garnish of grapes, this is your kind 60 00:03:57,930 --> 00:04:01,330 of night. This is one of my favorite shows that we do live at our 61 00:04:01,330 --> 00:04:05,050 theater. They've done it twice. Talks of a third one. I won't 62 00:04:05,050 --> 00:04:08,770 give you any spoilers, but this is what you want to see when you 63 00:04:08,770 --> 00:04:12,280 go out. This is the DJ and Paul. They go all 64 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,120 in. They investigated Gettysburg. They actually went to Gettysburg. 65 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,600 They came back with their findings. They have material 66 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,360 written. They're acting things out. It is a full performance and 67 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,680 it's one of the things that you want to catch. If it's not in Pittsburgh, 68 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,480 there's something like this in your area. Go check out your local Crips and 69 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,160 Corks, but come see them again when they come back. They will be live in 70 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,880 the theater or you can watch virtually online. Just proud 71 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,870 to have them as part of the theater and part of our future. 72 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:45,110 So congratulations, Crips and Corks, for another great episode. 73 00:04:46,630 --> 00:04:50,070 Our third story tonight, live from the Crime 74 00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:53,710 scene, this is Serious Serious Business Men at 75 00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:57,390 Work. The podcast known for asking thoughtful dumb guy 76 00:04:57,390 --> 00:05:01,110 questions like what do you do for work? Took things 77 00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:04,630 to the next level by recording an episode in the middle of an actual 78 00:05:04,630 --> 00:05:08,470 crime scene. Comedians Kyle Pagan and Matt 79 00:05:08,470 --> 00:05:12,190 Peoples were joined by stand up legend Ian Bagg and a 80 00:05:12,190 --> 00:05:15,910 few unpredictable guests, all while navigating a 81 00:05:15,910 --> 00:05:19,550 fender bender protest, traffic and a rookie cop in a 82 00:05:19,550 --> 00:05:23,190 golf polo. The show has interviewed people from 83 00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:26,230 substitute teachers to T shirt moguls and they'll record 84 00:05:26,470 --> 00:05:30,030 anywhere during an eclipse, at a casino or on the 85 00:05:30,030 --> 00:05:33,760 curb of chaos. This time it was comedy confusion and 86 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,440 career talk on location. Literally you have 87 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,280 courtroom subpoenas are going to be issued. This podcast episode 88 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:45,040 might have doubled as evidence. So this is another example 89 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,760 of taking your show out, performing it in public, doing 90 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,240 things that are fun, and pushing the boundaries of what a podcast can be. 91 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Pushing the boundaries of where can you record a podcast? And Men 92 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,560 at Work do this from the side of the road. And this episode with Ian 93 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,400 Bagg, a hilarious comedian, one of the best, was in 94 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,600 the middle of a crime scene. So just keep that in mind. Things can happen 95 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,160 during a live show. They happen in our theater when we do them live. They 96 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,840 happen when you do them out on the streets. So another great example of 97 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:16,200 a live show gone crazy. 98 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,120 How about this one? If you're into photography, Lights, 99 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,520 Mike's Action, the Pedal the PETA Pixel 100 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,280 Podcast went live on June 18 at the B and H Build Expo 101 00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:31,860 in New York City. Recording a special episode on the 102 00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:35,700 photography stage at the Javits center. Hosts Jaron 103 00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:39,180 Schneider, Chris Nichols and Jordan Drake answered 104 00:06:39,180 --> 00:06:42,900 audience questions and stuck around afterward for a meet and greet 105 00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:46,500 with fans and fellow photographers. Build Expo, now the 106 00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:50,140 largest photography event in the US Featured top imaging 107 00:06:50,140 --> 00:06:53,940 brands like Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm along 108 00:06:53,940 --> 00:06:57,180 with over a hundred speakers. The event celebrated the power 109 00:06:58,140 --> 00:07:01,820 visual storytelling while offering hands on experiences, photo 110 00:07:01,820 --> 00:07:05,460 walks and after hours networking for the creative 111 00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:09,140 community. And if you're a business owner and you're doing a podcast, 112 00:07:09,140 --> 00:07:12,820 you're trying to bring your customers together. Well, B and H, one of the 113 00:07:12,820 --> 00:07:16,660 largest photo video retailers in the 114 00:07:16,660 --> 00:07:20,300 world, start to build their own thing. They have their own podcast, they 115 00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:23,860 have their own event and you can do that. Whether you're 116 00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:27,590 selling real estate or crafts and arts in 117 00:07:27,590 --> 00:07:31,350 your local community. A small bakery. There are things that you can do 118 00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:35,110 to bring your audience together to support your business. Maybe you 119 00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:38,870 use your podcast to get new clients. Well, maybe you 120 00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:42,430 want to have a webinar or maybe you want to have something 121 00:07:42,430 --> 00:07:46,190 in person where you can do a short training and bring your 122 00:07:46,190 --> 00:07:49,710 customers to your business. Another great example of using 123 00:07:50,030 --> 00:07:53,630 podcasting live podcasting to grow your 124 00:07:53,630 --> 00:07:57,190 network. Our fifth story tonight, live laugh 125 00:07:57,190 --> 00:08:00,830 random on June 26th, the random esque 126 00:08:00,830 --> 00:08:04,390 Podcast is going live at the Prospect Wine Bar and 127 00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:07,990 Bistro in Westfield, New Jersey with an hour of 128 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:11,710 audience fueled fun and unpredictability. The show 129 00:08:11,710 --> 00:08:14,750 blends live podcasting with games like 10 thingies, 130 00:08:15,390 --> 00:08:19,190 lyric lunacy and by a show of hands plus 131 00:08:19,190 --> 00:08:22,310 the chance to become an instant random guest right on the mic. 132 00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:26,550 It's part variety show, part group therapy and 133 00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:30,190 fully chaotic in the best way. If you like your podcast with 134 00:08:30,190 --> 00:08:33,830 games, laughs and just a little confusion, this one's for you. I 135 00:08:33,830 --> 00:08:37,430 talk a lot about live podcasts, taking your show live, and 136 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:41,350 whether you have a theater like we have outside of Pittsburgh, there 137 00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:44,970 are tons of places you can do a live show. Here's a wine 138 00:08:44,970 --> 00:08:48,090 bar, coffee shops in the afternoon, bars, 139 00:08:48,410 --> 00:08:51,930 restaurants. Some of them have back rooms with stages. A lot of bars 140 00:08:52,090 --> 00:08:55,690 have stages where they play band sometimes. And on the weekday 141 00:08:56,090 --> 00:08:59,650 when that space isn't being used, see if that's a space where you can take 142 00:08:59,650 --> 00:09:03,490 your podcast, sell some tickets, hang out with some friends, have some food, have 143 00:09:03,490 --> 00:09:07,130 some drinks, have a good night out. There are plenty of ways to 144 00:09:07,130 --> 00:09:10,580 have this type of entertainment in your neighborhood. You could be 145 00:09:10,580 --> 00:09:14,420 pioneering that form of entertainment. And our final story 146 00:09:14,420 --> 00:09:18,100 tonight, from meme queen to microphone meltdown, 147 00:09:18,580 --> 00:09:22,340 Haley Welsh, aka the Hawk to a Girl, brought her 148 00:09:22,340 --> 00:09:26,060 podcast Talk to Us to Spotify's podcast theater at 149 00:09:26,060 --> 00:09:29,700 VidCon 2025, and it didn't exactly 150 00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:33,540 go as planned. With co host Chelsea Bradford and guest 151 00:09:33,620 --> 00:09:37,130 Whitney Cummings on stage, the rowdy crowd quickly 152 00:09:37,130 --> 00:09:39,970 shifted from the vibe from hype to hostile, 153 00:09:40,530 --> 00:09:44,130 prompting walkouts, awkward silences, and even some slurs 154 00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:47,810 that sparked backlash online. Welch, still 155 00:09:47,810 --> 00:09:51,650 facing heat over her filled Hawk currency cryptocurrency, 156 00:09:52,450 --> 00:09:56,010 kept a low profile while Cummings took charge of the mic. Despite the 157 00:09:56,010 --> 00:09:59,810 chaos, Welch did share her Hollywood dream, which is getting 158 00:09:59,810 --> 00:10:03,320 killed in a horror movie, and joked about the crypto 159 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,920 fallout. By the end, only half the crowd remained, but the 160 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,560 episode left a lasting impression, for better or for 161 00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:14,280 worse. And the importance of building something. The importance of 162 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,960 building something on a foundation. If you, you know, 163 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,720 capture the world's attention through whatever reason, 164 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,920 as easy as that came to you, it'll fall and go 165 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,730 away just as quickly. So when you're building your audience, when 166 00:10:29,730 --> 00:10:33,490 you're building, don't take shortcuts. Don't look for that rocket ship to 167 00:10:33,490 --> 00:10:37,170 the top. Build a solid foundation. Because when you don't, things 168 00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:41,010 get shaky. And when that foundation turns on you, they're going to turn 169 00:10:41,010 --> 00:10:44,810 on you quick. So keep that in mind when you're doing your shows live. 170 00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:49,050 Really foster that community. Build something special. Take it 171 00:10:49,050 --> 00:10:52,850 to the next level. This has been Paduti in the News. Six great 172 00:10:52,850 --> 00:10:56,550 stories for you. I hope you enjoyed it.
