You have a really great tune for 23 00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:50,910 your show. I thought you're gonna say I had a really great voice. 24 00:01:53,790 --> 00:01:57,590 I've been holding everybody put duty in the news. There'd be 25 00:01:57,590 --> 00:02:01,280 a lot of sampling and effects applied to get my voice to sound 26 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,920 that good. This is Piduti and the crew. We do six live 27 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,760 stories about live news podcasting and we 28 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,560 record it live. It's a very meta podcast. And along this journey 29 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,960 of sharing these stories, I'm going to introduce you to Ande Lyons. 30 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,280 Ande, tell us about yourself. We got your podcast don't be caged by your age. 31 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,040 We got the New England Podcasters group. Tell us what you've been building up there 32 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,940 in the New England area. Oh, my gosh. Well, first of all, I am all 33 00:02:27,940 --> 00:02:31,500 about aging out loud and proud. So I'm going to put it out there. I'm 34 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:35,180 69 and feeling mighty fine. I am the host of 35 00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:39,020 Don't Be Caged by youy Age. This is my sixth podcast 36 00:02:39,020 --> 00:02:42,620 since I started podcasting in 2012. And this 37 00:02:43,260 --> 00:02:47,020 podcast focused on shattering all those 38 00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:50,700 age related expectations and stereotypes 39 00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:54,610 that prevent folks from continuing to fuel their 40 00:02:54,610 --> 00:02:58,210 passion, fuel their purpose, and fuel their 41 00:02:58,370 --> 00:03:02,210 pocketbook. I'm talking about thriving after 42 00:03:02,450 --> 00:03:06,130 65 and I love having conversations with folks 43 00:03:06,370 --> 00:03:09,930 who are doing all of that. Have figured out that 44 00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:13,410 sitting on the couch, just because this clock struck 45 00:03:13,570 --> 00:03:17,410 midnight on their 65th birthday, they said, I'm not done. 46 00:03:18,510 --> 00:03:21,310 And that's what I love to showcase. I also 47 00:03:22,270 --> 00:03:25,870 am the founder and host of the New England Podcasters 48 00:03:25,870 --> 00:03:29,510 Group, and this is a phenomenal group of indie 49 00:03:29,510 --> 00:03:33,230 podcasters from all over New England. Every second 50 00:03:33,470 --> 00:03:37,070 Saturday of the month, we gather in person, we have a featured 51 00:03:37,070 --> 00:03:40,910 speaker, we up our game, we celebrate, we connect, 52 00:03:41,230 --> 00:03:44,590 we collaborate, and we lift each other up. 53 00:03:45,020 --> 00:03:48,780 It also has an online companion for those 54 00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:52,220 who want to join us virtually from around the world, because they love how we're 55 00:03:52,220 --> 00:03:56,020 glowing and vibing and they want to be part of our community. And it's the 56 00:03:56,020 --> 00:03:58,300 New England Podcasters Group community 57 00:03:58,940 --> 00:04:02,220 Podgarden. And there we continue 58 00:04:02,540 --> 00:04:06,380 the delicious conversations and collaborations and connections, 59 00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:10,580 but it's virtual. And I am so honored to be here with you, Jeff, 60 00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:14,280 today. Awesome. Thank you so much. I'm so excited to have you 61 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,920 here. While you were talking, I dropped all of my show notes. They're all out 62 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,600 of order. This will be a fun little game of almost like Twister with the 63 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,440 stories. Right hand story number one, left hand story 64 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,120 number two. I'm gonna try to figure this out, but 65 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,760 I'm gonna put all the links to Ande's podcast and the New England. 66 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,490 New England Podcasters Group. Yep, Podcasters Group. So 67 00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:41,170 that you can connect if you're in that area. Check out the live events, check 68 00:04:41,170 --> 00:04:44,610 out the podcast. There's something there for everybody. And, 69 00:04:44,610 --> 00:04:48,170 Ande, are you ready for our first story? Yes. 70 00:04:48,170 --> 00:04:51,890 Let's glow. Let's see if I got the story in this one. That could be 71 00:04:51,890 --> 00:04:55,090 in the right order. This is the ICEF 72 00:04:55,170 --> 00:04:58,850 podcast took live podcasting global with a special 73 00:04:58,930 --> 00:05:02,530 episode recorded on location at the 30th anniversary 74 00:05:02,530 --> 00:05:06,090 of of ICEF Berlin broadcasting 75 00:05:06,090 --> 00:05:09,850 straight from Berlin, hosts Greg Riggs and Martin Van 76 00:05:09,850 --> 00:05:13,370 de Veen recapped major developments shaping international 77 00:05:13,610 --> 00:05:17,050 education, including Kazakhstan's aggressive growth 78 00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:20,730 plans and how potential U.S. policy changes could impact 79 00:05:20,730 --> 00:05:24,450 the ability of foreign graduates to stay and work. The 80 00:05:24,450 --> 00:05:28,130 episode also featured live on the ground interviews with 81 00:05:28,130 --> 00:05:31,570 industry leaders proving that live podcasting isn't just about 82 00:05:31,570 --> 00:05:34,700 audience energy. It's about capturing context, 83 00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:38,300 urgency, and credibility right where the story is 84 00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:41,660 happening. And this was a global podcasting event. And 85 00:05:41,820 --> 00:05:45,580 the international consultants for education and fans. 86 00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:49,900 This was just like a conference. It was in a certain 87 00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:53,700 industry getting together because they want to better 88 00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:57,300 themselves, they want to become better at their jobs. And what better place to 89 00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:01,080 insert yourself than right there in 90 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,880 a conference environment? So tell me more about this, 91 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,320 because I'm trying to picture are people on the stage, Everybody's taking a turn with 92 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,160 the mic, or are there a few people on the stage live 93 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,960 that are talking to folks. How did that work? 94 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,560 There is the link in the show notes if you want to read all about 95 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,600 it. But they did record it and release it as their own podcast. 96 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,560 I think that's phenomenal because what I love best about live streaming 97 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,920 and everybody should try going live because 98 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,200 many of us, most of us are not trained speakers. And even if you are 99 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,760 speaking from the stage, you have your speech memorized. 100 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,680 In fact, I often have guests who are phenomenal speakers from the 101 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,400 stage, you know, doing the whole screens and 102 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,040 going everything, going back the slides. But they get nervous when they 103 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,000 come on a live stream, when they have to speak 104 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,600 extemporaneously. And. And that's the beauty of livestream. 105 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,280 You're going to capture real human moments. And so I 106 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:03,040 love that they, for their community, said, let's really 107 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,160 talk about this, but let's talk about it in the moment. 108 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,360 Because some days you might just be compartmentalizing. But when you're with a 109 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,080 whole group of people who are focused on a topic, you are going to 110 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,520 start speaking more from the heart because you're surrounded by other humans. 111 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,960 And so that connection becomes electrified 112 00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:25,030 because it's live and you're gathering all this information and 113 00:07:25,030 --> 00:07:28,830 thoughts that are being sparked by other people's 114 00:07:28,830 --> 00:07:32,590 comments in the moment. It's very exciting. Yeah. 115 00:07:32,590 --> 00:07:36,150 And we're seeing this more and more at conferences, at events where 116 00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:40,030 the entertainment for that event is going to be a 117 00:07:40,030 --> 00:07:43,830 podcast. They used to have, like, musicians 118 00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:47,470 and magicians and comedians come up on stage and entertain 119 00:07:47,470 --> 00:07:51,250 the crowd in between, you know, the speaker sessions and the main 120 00:07:51,250 --> 00:07:54,850 event. But now more and more, part of the entertainment of that 121 00:07:54,850 --> 00:07:58,650 conference is going to be people to perform their podcast live in front of the 122 00:07:58,650 --> 00:08:02,370 audience. They record that for that podcast so that they can 123 00:08:02,370 --> 00:08:06,210 distribute it. And then what are the. What's that podcast doing? They're promoting 124 00:08:06,290 --> 00:08:10,130 that conference at a later date. So now these conferences have realized 125 00:08:10,370 --> 00:08:14,170 we can really expand our reach by having podcasts come 126 00:08:14,170 --> 00:08:17,950 in, record, and then have them release those episodes later on 127 00:08:17,950 --> 00:08:21,590 and promote the conference for next year. And it's evergreen, 128 00:08:21,590 --> 00:08:25,270 too, so people can find it five years down the road and go, 129 00:08:25,270 --> 00:08:26,990 what? I want to go to this year's event. 130 00:08:28,830 --> 00:08:32,590 It's the best way to keep it going. And that snowball gets rolling. Speaking of 131 00:08:32,590 --> 00:08:36,030 rolling, let's go over to our next story. 132 00:08:36,270 --> 00:08:39,870 This comes to us from Film Ireland, and they brought 133 00:08:39,870 --> 00:08:43,710 deep, creative conversations to life with Screen Sessions Live, 134 00:08:44,260 --> 00:08:47,980 a special live podcast recording featuring graphic artist 135 00:08:47,980 --> 00:08:51,660 Annie Atkins, known for her work on the Grand Budapest 136 00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:55,500 Hotel and the French Dispatch in a conversation with 137 00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,820 production designer and concept illustrator Jill Beecher, 138 00:08:58,980 --> 00:09:02,820 whose credits include Babylon and Elvis. Recorded 139 00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:06,620 live as part of a Film Ireland Screen Sessions Live 140 00:09:06,620 --> 00:09:10,180 event, the discussion pulled back the curtain on behind the scenes 141 00:09:10,180 --> 00:09:13,820 creativity, collaboration and problem solving in the 142 00:09:13,820 --> 00:09:17,180 art department, showcasing how live podcasting can 143 00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:20,300 elevate niche conversations by putting 144 00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:24,100 audiences directly in the room where creative insights happen. 145 00:09:25,060 --> 00:09:28,180 I think this is a play right out of our playbook, Ande. 146 00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:33,860 A live event happening. And look what they're doing. 147 00:09:33,860 --> 00:09:37,610 They're bringing these two artists together in a room 148 00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:41,370 full of people who are maybe aspiring to be directors or 149 00:09:41,370 --> 00:09:45,170 aspiring to get into the movie industry, and they're sharing their 150 00:09:45,170 --> 00:09:48,850 experiences and talents. Well, I love that too, because I'm sure questions 151 00:09:48,850 --> 00:09:52,530 were taken from the audience. But also it was streaming 152 00:09:52,530 --> 00:09:56,330 live, so folks outside that room could not only see it 153 00:09:56,330 --> 00:10:00,130 then live, but if they had some FOMO fear of 154 00:10:00,130 --> 00:10:03,670 missing out and couldn't be there, they could see it at a later 155 00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:07,310 date, but still feel like they were there live. And because 156 00:10:07,310 --> 00:10:11,150 it's live and it's video and it's streaming, you've got this wonderful 157 00:10:11,470 --> 00:10:14,990 visual effect, right, Jeff, that just makes it even 158 00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:18,429 more edutaining and exciting and 159 00:10:18,429 --> 00:10:22,270 impactful. Yeah, it pulls you right into the 160 00:10:22,270 --> 00:10:25,990 moment, into that stage. And if you're a fan of these two 161 00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:29,070 artists or if you're aspiring to be like these two artists, 162 00:10:29,770 --> 00:10:33,610 you can't help but to just be drawn into everything they're saying and 163 00:10:33,610 --> 00:10:37,410 taking every word. You don't get that From from an 164 00:10:37,410 --> 00:10:40,810 MP3 recording if you're just gonna re listen to the replay. But 165 00:10:40,970 --> 00:10:44,690 being there in the moment, and I always say that in the 166 00:10:44,690 --> 00:10:48,250 history of the world, this recording is the only 167 00:10:48,250 --> 00:10:52,050 time that'll happen in the whole history of the world. It's a 168 00:10:52,050 --> 00:10:55,050 once in a lifetime opportunity to see that performance 169 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,520 live, that time. And you can't recreate that or 170 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,480 you can't duplicate that. You cannot duplicate that. And it's 171 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,080 just so fresh and meaningful and it has that deep 172 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,720 human connection. Let's see. Speaking 173 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,320 of you had to be there in the room the How 174 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,080 Podcast pulled back the curtain on what live podcasting 175 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,800 really feels like with a bonus episode recorded on stage 176 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,170 in Lake Placid. Instead of a single polished story, 177 00:11:25,410 --> 00:11:29,090 this episode captures five stories performed live at 178 00:11:29,090 --> 00:11:32,410 Smoke Signals, complete with nervous energy, audience 179 00:11:32,410 --> 00:11:35,970 reaction, and the shared camaraderie that only happens in the 180 00:11:35,970 --> 00:11:39,289 room. Featuring voices like Emily Russell of 181 00:11:39,289 --> 00:11:42,730 NCPR alongside local storytellers and 182 00:11:42,730 --> 00:11:46,490 writers, the episode reminds listeners that live podcasts 183 00:11:46,490 --> 00:11:50,210 aren't just about content. They're about atmosphere, vulnerability 184 00:11:50,930 --> 00:11:54,690 and community. And sometimes the magic is everything that 185 00:11:54,690 --> 00:11:58,410 happens between the words. What do you think about this one, 186 00:11:58,410 --> 00:12:01,690 Ande? I love Something Fierce because I'm a fan of the moth. 187 00:12:01,690 --> 00:12:05,490 NPR's the moth, right? And that's people getting up, knees 188 00:12:05,570 --> 00:12:08,850 shaking. Right. Voices shaking 189 00:12:09,090 --> 00:12:12,370 and sharing. And it's so, so very important. 190 00:12:12,770 --> 00:12:15,810 And I love, of course, that they call it Tuck art. Is that what we're 191 00:12:15,810 --> 00:12:19,090 looking at now? That's the next one. Okay, so we're still talking about the Lake 192 00:12:19,090 --> 00:12:22,760 Placid event. Wait, there it is. There it is. It's the 193 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,440 Howl podcast. So what they're doing is they're 194 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,120 creating an opportunity where people are going to get up and nothing will 195 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,840 be edited. And so it's live. And it's that vulnerability, 196 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,280 that human vulnerability, to share their art, share their craft 197 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,200 in front of an audience, which is the scariest thing you can ever 198 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,000 do. And it helps those in the audience who are 199 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,710 thinking about doing that themselves someday finding the courage. But the 200 00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:52,270 person who's presenting is having that real live moment, 201 00:12:52,270 --> 00:12:55,750 knowing they're being recorded, that this is not going to be 202 00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:59,470 edited. It just brings a whole nother level of vulnerability 203 00:13:00,270 --> 00:13:04,030 and, you know, deeper connection. I keep saying that word a lot 204 00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:07,710 with the audience, and it benefits both the person 205 00:13:07,710 --> 00:13:11,510 presenting, podcasting, live streaming, and the audience, and then 206 00:13:11,510 --> 00:13:15,190 again, those who are going to watch in the future because it's 207 00:13:15,350 --> 00:13:19,030 real. And what a beautiful setting 208 00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:22,830 that. That lodge with the stage and all the wood pillars, and 209 00:13:22,830 --> 00:13:26,550 you're just drawn in and you're kind of in. You know, you 210 00:13:26,550 --> 00:13:30,390 sometimes think of maybe scary movies or, you know, 211 00:13:30,390 --> 00:13:34,230 suspenseful movies are always in the mountains at a lodge. And here 212 00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:38,070 you are, you're hearing these five intimate stories live from the stage 213 00:13:38,070 --> 00:13:41,730 of the only people talking in the room. And you have to be 214 00:13:41,730 --> 00:13:45,290 drawn into that stage. They pull you right in to share their 215 00:13:45,290 --> 00:13:49,050 story. And you're in this environment that's already a beautiful 216 00:13:49,050 --> 00:13:52,850 environment. Once in a lifetime story. It makes me 217 00:13:52,850 --> 00:13:56,090 want to hop in my car and go over there to Lake Placid. 218 00:13:59,050 --> 00:14:02,730 It's just a short hop over. Yeah. Probably a good five, six hour 219 00:14:02,730 --> 00:14:05,690 drive. But I just wanted to throw a little Boston accent in there for some 220 00:14:05,690 --> 00:14:09,470 tala. Yeah. Well, speaking of color, 221 00:14:09,630 --> 00:14:13,470 let's go to the Beardo and the Weirdo. I really like 222 00:14:13,470 --> 00:14:17,150 the name of this show that made the cut just based on the name alone. 223 00:14:17,150 --> 00:14:20,990 But this is comedy. Metal in a live podcast. Taking the stage. 224 00:14:21,070 --> 00:14:24,470 This comes to us from Metal Sludge. The Beardo and 225 00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:28,150 Weirdo podcast is heading to a major concert venue with a 226 00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:31,710 live show at City National Grove in Anaheim on January 227 00:14:32,030 --> 00:14:35,870 24th. Blending stand up comedy and podcasting into 228 00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:39,470 one high energy night. Hosted by comedian Greg 229 00:14:39,470 --> 00:14:42,990 Gass, known for his legendary impressions and 230 00:14:42,990 --> 00:14:46,790 Chris Kael of Five Finger Death Punch, the event 231 00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:50,550 features solo comedy sets followed by a live podcast taping 232 00:14:50,630 --> 00:14:54,230 packed with a backstage stories and special guests 233 00:14:54,550 --> 00:14:58,030 scheduled during the NOM show weekend. This show 234 00:14:58,030 --> 00:15:01,470 highlights how live podcasts are increasingly pairing with 235 00:15:01,700 --> 00:15:05,220 with major cultural events and traditional entertainment venues, 236 00:15:05,540 --> 00:15:09,100 Proving that podcasting isn't just filling seats, it's 237 00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:12,340 becoming the main attraction. How 238 00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:16,420 fun is this? First of all, I wish I'd been in that audience howling away. 239 00:15:16,740 --> 00:15:20,380 But how creative and out of the box that these two, the Beardo and 240 00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:23,900 Weirdo and the. And the folks who are supporting them to 241 00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:27,300 bring this type of venue to an audience. Because 242 00:15:27,380 --> 00:15:31,180 again, the audience is now part of that podcast their 243 00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:34,860 laughs. And as we know, if you're a 244 00:15:34,860 --> 00:15:38,340 comedian, you are energized by the 245 00:15:38,340 --> 00:15:42,020 audience. So you're feeding off that. You're feeding off your guests, the two of them. 246 00:15:42,260 --> 00:15:45,980 Oh my gosh, I think that's pure gold. Yeah, it's one of these 247 00:15:45,980 --> 00:15:49,540 special events that we keep talking about where there are fans of the show. 248 00:15:49,540 --> 00:15:53,220 There's probably fans of the comedians who'll be attending, but because 249 00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:57,360 they love what you do, they're following what you create. They're willing 250 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,440 to come out to an arena for in January 251 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,920 to support the event and to say, hey, this is something 252 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,640 that we like doing. We like listening to you, we want to see you live. 253 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,440 And as a reward, they're building this super 254 00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:16,280 event with multi, multi acts. They're going to be participating 255 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,320 and they're going to share this whole once in a lifetime evening with their 256 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,010 true fans who are coming out to see them and support them. I 257 00:16:24,010 --> 00:16:27,650 just love it and I would have just loved being in that audience howling away. 258 00:16:27,810 --> 00:16:30,850 And who doesn't love, you know, weirdos? Yeah, 259 00:16:31,650 --> 00:16:35,370 there's. Yeah, the Beardos and the weirdos. January 24th. If you're out 260 00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:38,850 in Anaheim, tickets may still be available. The National 261 00:16:38,929 --> 00:16:42,570 City Grove Beardo and the Weirdo. Let's keep it 262 00:16:42,570 --> 00:16:46,410 moving right along tonight. The have a word podcast proved 263 00:16:46,410 --> 00:16:49,890 that live shows can deliver more than laughs. During a near 264 00:16:49,970 --> 00:16:53,730 sellout night at Liverpool's M S Bank Arena. Here's 265 00:16:53,730 --> 00:16:57,250 another arena. Ande wow. Co host Adam 266 00:16:57,250 --> 00:17:00,770 Rowe with Dan Nightingale mix stand up 267 00:17:00,770 --> 00:17:04,490 surprise guests and chaotic comedy with deeply human moments. 268 00:17:04,810 --> 00:17:08,330 Most notable when Adam gifted fellow host 269 00:17:08,330 --> 00:17:12,170 Finn Kolivals the chance to perform his music live. 270 00:17:12,170 --> 00:17:15,770 On an arena stage. The night ended on an even bigger role 271 00:17:15,770 --> 00:17:18,860 when Adam chose to donate a thousand to 272 00:17:18,940 --> 00:17:22,340 $1,000 prize to Zoe's Place. Turning a 273 00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:26,060 comedy podcast into a powerful act of generosity. It's a 274 00:17:26,060 --> 00:17:29,660 reminder that live podcasting isn't just entertainment. It's 275 00:17:29,660 --> 00:17:33,340 connection, community, and shared moments audiences 276 00:17:33,420 --> 00:17:37,020 never forget. Wow. Isn't 277 00:17:37,020 --> 00:17:40,620 Adam amazing to take that moment and just from his heart go, I'm doing 278 00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:44,460 this now. And I'm sure he. That wasn't planned. I'm sure it 279 00:17:44,460 --> 00:17:48,060 was inspired by the moment. I have to admit, 280 00:17:48,060 --> 00:17:51,880 Jeff, I'm still trying to wrap my br. Brain around podcasts 281 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,160 and arenas. That's a huge. 282 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,000 That's a huge pivot. And you know, I'm going to be going to On Air 283 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,840 Fest in Brooklyn at the end of February. That's what this is. That's what 284 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,200 it's all about, is bringing podcasts like this 285 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,280 to a wider audience and sharing the experience. So this 286 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,080 is amazing. I love this. Yeah, it's happening all 287 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,560 over the place. And like we were talking about before the show went live, this 288 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,260 is episode 39 or 40. And every week I come to you with 289 00:18:21,260 --> 00:18:24,580 six stories, six examples of this happening around the world. 290 00:18:24,980 --> 00:18:28,740 And if you're not in tune with it, you have no idea that this is 291 00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:32,460 part of podcasting that's blowing up right now. This is probably 292 00:18:32,460 --> 00:18:36,180 the highest growth area and what we're trying to build with the New 293 00:18:36,180 --> 00:18:39,980 England podcasters group, with Ande, with me and my theater space 294 00:18:39,980 --> 00:18:43,660 here, it's about bringing that type of energy to 295 00:18:43,660 --> 00:18:47,340 smaller, independent podcasters and trying to show them, hey, 296 00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:51,020 there's another way to do this. That's, that's fun, that you can bring your community 297 00:18:51,180 --> 00:18:54,860 together. You can have a night out and it's not going to be a 298 00:18:54,860 --> 00:18:58,460 $400 ticket. And with, you know, $80 for parking, 299 00:18:58,620 --> 00:19:01,900 you can, you can enjoy a local live podcast 300 00:19:02,140 --> 00:19:05,740 for 5, 10, $15 and have a great night out 301 00:19:05,980 --> 00:19:09,820 and just have a good time with like minded people in your community. Yeah, I've 302 00:19:09,820 --> 00:19:12,980 seen a lot of that happen in our area. There's a woman up in New 303 00:19:12,980 --> 00:19:16,630 Hampshire that meets at a brewery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. We 304 00:19:16,860 --> 00:19:20,500 once a month to talk about current events in New Hampshire. There's 305 00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:23,260 another gal who interviews folks 306 00:19:24,620 --> 00:19:28,460 outside of Boston who are creatives, who are artists, 307 00:19:28,780 --> 00:19:32,380 who aren't getting the recognition that she thinks they deserve. And 308 00:19:32,380 --> 00:19:36,060 having that sort of audience participation live, it's very exciting. 309 00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:39,740 Well, speaking of artists, you got the best segues tonight. 310 00:19:40,860 --> 00:19:44,590 We got art belongs in a museum. 311 00:19:44,590 --> 00:19:47,670 How perfect was that? Segue. Ande, it's so good. 312 00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:52,630 I love it. The acclaimed Talk Art podcast marked a major 313 00:19:52,630 --> 00:19:55,910 milestone with its first ever Irish live episode 314 00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:59,830 recorded inside the National Gallery of Ireland during 315 00:19:59,910 --> 00:20:03,550 Dublin Gallery Weekend 2025, hosted 316 00:20:03,550 --> 00:20:07,030 by Russell Tavi. And boy, I really, 317 00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:10,620 I apologize everybody's name I butchered today and Robert 318 00:20:10,620 --> 00:20:14,220 Diamant. The live conversation featured artist Isabel 319 00:20:14,220 --> 00:20:17,660 Noland, Ireland's representative to the Venice 320 00:20:19,180 --> 00:20:22,980 Biennale. Biennale I'm going to cause an international incident 321 00:20:22,980 --> 00:20:26,780 with my Italian in 2026. Recorded in a lecture 322 00:20:26,780 --> 00:20:30,380 theater surrounded by centuries of art, the episode 323 00:20:30,380 --> 00:20:34,140 explored Nolan's deeply personal, research driven practice, 324 00:20:34,380 --> 00:20:37,860 proving that live podcasting has firmly entered cultural 325 00:20:37,860 --> 00:20:41,260 institutions where long form conversation 326 00:20:41,260 --> 00:20:44,980 becomes part of the artistic experience itself. And 327 00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:48,660 I just, I couldn't even imagine being in this setting. You know, you're 328 00:20:48,660 --> 00:20:52,340 surrounded by these works of arts from all throughout time 329 00:20:52,580 --> 00:20:56,220 and you're, you're getting this information, you're, you're taking in 330 00:20:56,220 --> 00:20:59,900 this artist and you're just, I couldn't imagine feeling more 331 00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:03,580 cultured than being in this audience. Absolutely. And it 332 00:21:03,580 --> 00:21:07,340 ties into what you said earlier, Jeff, about the opportunity to be 333 00:21:07,340 --> 00:21:10,960 part of something so fabulous and so fascinating with, without 334 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,320 paying for parking, without paying the big ticket item 335 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,840 and still feeling the vibes of that experience 336 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,720 in the art gallery. You know, we have a, I'm at our 337 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,520 Boston Public Library three days a week. Our 338 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,040 local NPR station, Boston Public radio 339 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,320 airs from 11 until 2 at the 340 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,840 library. And it's, and it's, of course, it's live. 341 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,760 And it just again, a great experience 342 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,360 to anyone who was there at the library can go in and 343 00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:46,800 pop in and watch, but also for all the listeners to know that they're live 344 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,800 in front of another audience in such an esteemed location. 345 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,520 And that's one of the things we talk about, you know, think outside the box. 346 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,840 We did a couple stories about arenas and theaters. Here's one at a gallery, 347 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,600 Ande just mentioned the library. If you can't 348 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,880 reach that kind of scale yet. If you're just thinking about starting out, 349 00:22:06,380 --> 00:22:10,100 I promise you that maybe even though you don't have a theater like the Poduty 350 00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:13,740 podcast theater here in Tarentum, you do have coffee 351 00:22:13,740 --> 00:22:17,420 shops, you have bars, you have restaurants with back rooms, 352 00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:21,260 you have social events, civic halls, you have libraries that 353 00:22:21,260 --> 00:22:24,420 usually have media centers or even libraries that have 354 00:22:24,420 --> 00:22:27,740 auditoriums that rent them out very cheaply, 355 00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:31,740 it's not a big barrier to entry to start taking your show live. If you 356 00:22:31,740 --> 00:22:35,250 start thinking outside the box. Where can I host this? If you, if you approach 357 00:22:35,250 --> 00:22:38,930 your local coffee shop is, hey, I Know what's your slowest 358 00:22:38,930 --> 00:22:42,770 day? Wednesday at 2:00'. Clock. Well, maybe Wednesday at 2:00 they'll 359 00:22:42,770 --> 00:22:45,850 let you do a live show there. They'll probably, they may even pay you in 360 00:22:45,850 --> 00:22:49,410 scones and, you know, a hot cup of joe. Well, look at the brewery up 361 00:22:49,410 --> 00:22:52,970 in, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Right? I mean, the brewery is always looking to have 362 00:22:52,970 --> 00:22:56,170 people come in and draw, you know, down a pint. 363 00:22:57,210 --> 00:23:00,890 But also remember your cable access TV 364 00:23:01,420 --> 00:23:05,260 facilities, folks, because they're desperate to repurpose right now because who's 365 00:23:05,260 --> 00:23:08,540 watching on cable anymore? And so that's another 366 00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:12,180 studio opportunity. I know Westford, Massachusetts, 367 00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:14,860 their cable access TV. They charge 368 00:23:14,860 --> 00:23:18,660 $150 a year to become a member. And you 369 00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:22,460 can use their podcast studio and their TV studio. 370 00:23:23,260 --> 00:23:26,620 That's very affordable. Yeah, it's what, 371 00:23:26,620 --> 00:23:30,210 12.50amonth? That's not even. Yeah, that's not even 372 00:23:30,210 --> 00:23:32,690 a Starbucks with cold foam.
