bringing headlines direct welcome back. To Pduti and the
News. This is Monday, September 8th. I'm your host, Jeff Revilla. And you know, we
started this podcast to showcase live podcasting
events from all over the country, all over the world. And we have so
many stories coming in every week of live podcasts happening
around the world. And we're doing that because we are part of this
movement. We want to bring podcasts as a live event,
live environment to you directly, either in the theater like you
see behind me or live stream to the comfort of your own
home. So live event podcasting is a thing that's happening and
it's happening on a big scale and not many podcasters taking
advantage of that. So this is where you come in. Listen to these stories
and then do your podcast live.
Our first story tonight, back to the bar in Pittsburgh.
This one comes to us from Trib Live. Dance moms icons
Christy Lukasiak and Kelly Hyland are heading home to
Pittsburgh for their first ever live back to the bar podcast event.
Billed as a night of laughs, games Q and A and plenty of
unapologetic sass, the Bear Crawl hits the courtyard by
Marriott University center on September 26th.
From student price tickets to ultra VIP cocktail parties,
fans can choose their own level of drama. It's not just a
recap. It's behind the scenes tea, live games and a
full night out in the Steel City. And I love seeing this. This is
people who are on a reality TV show started their own podcast to stay
connected to their fans and now they're taking that live.
They're doing live shows right here in Pittsburgh, hometown Pittsburgh, where the
Abbey Lee Dance Company was. And now they're doing it.
There's. They're out there connecting with fans with the types of experiences
that you would expect them to have. The VIP cocktails and, and
sharing gossip, that's what you would expect from the show and they are delivering on
that. Our second story comes from the
Sox Machine. They swing into Remova. The Sox Machine
podcast is stepping off the airwaves and onto the stage
live from Chicago's historic Remova Theater,
joined by special guest Courtney Finicum from Baseball isn't boring.
The crew is breaking down the White Sox post All Star
surgeon Colson Montgomery star potential and whether
Shane Smith is shaping up to be the team's next ace. From the
biggest surprises to the biggest concerns, fans will get a front
row seat to White Sox talk with energy you can only find in
a live setting another way to connect
what your passion is with a community and this is a
passionate baseball podcast doing a live show with
an audience and connecting with people in their town who also
like baseball. Story Number
three from the Corridor Business
Iowa's Workforce Crisis on Center Stage
Never waste a crisis the Iowa Manufacturing
Podcast took the stage at the CBJ Manufacturing Conference in
Cedar Rapids, recording live in front of a crowd of
industry leaders. The hot topic? A looming
workforce crisis as 240,000 baby boomers
are expected to leave Iowa's manufacturing jobs by
2030. Panelists laid out three part game
plan embrace automation, retain senior workers with
flexible roles and attract Gen Z through hands on
training. The live session made one thing clear.
Iowa's future in manufacturing will depend on bold strategies and
and collaboration between people and technology. And
you're seeing these type of events pop up everywhere. There's always conferences, there's
events and the entertainment that people are bringing into these
conferences and events isn't just music or DJs
or magicians. Podcasts are now a part of
the curriculum for these conferences. They are bringing them in, they are
on the schedule, they are doing live recordings and they are drawing an
audience because they are connecting audiences. And this is one
another, another great example of bringing your industry
expertise to the public and sharing what you believe the
future holds. Story number four from
Bossup Wale walks the talk at PLLRS Live
Brooklyn's Pillar speaker series lit up the Dumbo neighborhood
with Grammy nominated rapper Wale in the spotlight
in a candid live conversation well opened up about his sneaker
obsession, hip hop heritage and and global sound shaping his
upcoming album, a project he calls
Diaspora Folk. With his manager Kaz
Laidlaw, I Decide. Wale mixed career stories with sneaker tales,
including a collab that tied him to NBA star Anthony
Edwards. Fans and insiders got an unfiltered look at the grind
behind the music, proving that events like PLLRS not only
connects artists with their audience, but also builds community
around culture, conversation and creativity. And this
was done on a scale that I have never seen. While this
may not have been exactly a podcast up front, it
is a event looking for a podcast and if you go and look at the
pictures of this, they transformed this. I don't like
a creative space. They called it a country club, which I don't have in my
notes. They had merch, they had all kinds of branding around
it and then they had this really high level event. It was very
impressive. This is the type of live events that we're talking about.
While this wasn't exactly a podcast, go look up this
article and see how amazing this whole thing was from
start to finish. It was top notch all the way around and it was an
event looking for a podcast of 100%. Check it out. Our
fifth story today Telluride takes the spotlight on
Next Best Picture this comes to us from Next Best Picture.
The Next Best Picture podcast went live from the 2025
Telluride Film Festival, giving film fans a front row
seat to one of the industry's most prestigious events.
Host Daniel Hoat and Matt
Neglia recapped a whirlwind Labor Day weekend packed
with world premieres like Hamnet and Springsteen Deliver Me
From Nowhere along with Sundance Canes and Venice
favorites. Their live recording not only captured the
excitement of the screenings, but also showcased the how podcasts can
turn film festivals into shared experiences for audiences
everywhere. From hidden gems to Hollywood heavyweights, Next
Best Picture proved that live podcasting amplifies the
festival buzz far beyond Telluride's mountains.
I don't know how many times can I tell you what's happening out there. Love
this story. This is a podcast that went to a film festival. They talk
about films. That's what they do at film festivals. And they put this all
together to really connect their their content with
their fans in real life. And story number
six, La Platica from K Fox
tv. Sebastian Robles and Josh
Leyva, hosts of the hit Latino podcast La Platica,
are stepping into a new era with their first ever live show at
UTEP's Magofin Auditorium. Billed as the number
one Latino podcast in the world, the duo is bringing their
trademark mix of comedy perspective and pure
unpredictability to a packed house on September
19th. With tickets on sale now, La Platica Live
promises a night of laugh, surprises and community connection,
proving once again that podcasts don't just live in your earbuds.
They thrive on the stage and
again, love it. I love seeing podcasts go out into the public,
put on live shows for people. This is the future. This is what we're talking
about. This is where the opportunity is for 90% of
podcasters out there. Check out a live event in your area.
Check out what we're doing here at the Paduti Podcast Theater. We just hosted a
Pittsburgh podcast meetup. I'll have a link to that video if you'd like to
