Let's hear that theme 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,040 song. What time is it? 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,480 What time is it? 7 00:00:32,060 --> 00:00:35,860 Poduty and the 8 00:00:35,860 --> 00:00:39,420 News. The only live 9 00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:43,180 news podcast about podcasting from the 10 00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:43,580 stage. 11 00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:53,980 Poduty and the News. The only live 12 00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:57,740 news podcast about podcasting from the 13 00:00:57,740 --> 00:00:58,140 stage. 14 00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:07,850 Well, the only live news podcast about podcasting from 15 00:01:07,850 --> 00:01:11,610 the stage. Ashe, welcome to the show. Oh, thank you so much 16 00:01:11,610 --> 00:01:15,410 for having me. Again, that intro is so catchy. I 17 00:01:15,410 --> 00:01:17,850 don't know how we get through the day without that in our heads all day 18 00:01:17,850 --> 00:01:21,490 long. It does play in my head all day long. I found myself putting the 19 00:01:21,490 --> 00:01:25,090 dishes away. And the way that the forks land in the silverware 20 00:01:25,090 --> 00:01:28,850 tray, it kicks off that beat in my head. It's like, perfect. 21 00:01:30,130 --> 00:01:33,480 Well, tell us a little bit about the Spooky Scholars podcast because as most people 22 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,280 know, this is a show about podcasting. It's very meta. We record it live 23 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,120 about live podcasting, and the Spooky Scholars has 24 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,720 been around. Tell us a little bit about the show and, you know, your love 25 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,560 of podcasting or your how much you enjoy podcasting. Oh, well, I 26 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,400 do. I mean, this is now. I now have three shows 27 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,800 that I've done on podcasts and on public radio. 28 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,600 So I definitely love the format. The Spooky Scholars 29 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,320 is a horror podcast where we don't just review movies. We kind of 30 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,100 do deep dives into the whole horror world, into like the future of 31 00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:10,340 horror, indie film making and that kind of thing. And 32 00:02:10,740 --> 00:02:14,500 most of my guests are either filmmakers, authors, or 33 00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:18,340 essayists and big horror nerds like me. 34 00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:23,220 Awesome. And if you want to hear more about that, we do a nice in 35 00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:26,820 depth conversation on our sister podcast called My Guest Tonight. 36 00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:30,500 Comes out in two weeks from now. Look for the the My Guest 37 00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:34,110 Tonight, dot com. Ashe Woodward.

Well, our first story, 45 00:03:00,270 --> 00:03:03,820 we're going to Stars Hollow. Luke 46 00:03:03,820 --> 00:03:07,460 Danes in real life, Coffee, comfort, and clever fan 47 00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:11,220 strategy. This holiday season, Warner Brothers Studio 48 00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:14,900 tour. Hollywood is turning Stars Hollow into a real life snow 49 00:03:14,900 --> 00:03:18,620 globe for the 25th anniversary of Gilmore Girls. 50 00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:22,380 And yes, you can actually meet Luke Danes himself. 51 00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:25,900 Actor Scott Patterson will be behind the counter every day 52 00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:29,580 from December 18th through January 4th, 53 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,800 serving up that signature grumpy charm fan or the grumpy 54 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,480 grumpy charm energy fans love. Opening day even includes a live 55 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,240 podcast hosted by James Parker Pettit, diving into 56 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,960 behind the scenes holiday magic with a mystery guest on the 57 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,520 way. Between immersive sets, cozy vibes and 58 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,280 virtual options for fans who can't be there in person, this 59 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,130 is a masterclass in turning nostalgia into, into an event 60 00:03:56,210 --> 00:03:59,970 driven content machine. And this really speaks my 61 00:03:59,970 --> 00:04:03,610 language for sure. We have this theater space to do these types of 62 00:04:03,610 --> 00:04:07,450 events and here's Universal Studios doing it on a 63 00:04:07,450 --> 00:04:11,010 whole nother level. What were some of your takeaways from this one, Asha? 64 00:04:11,329 --> 00:04:15,050 Oh my gosh, so many. So first of all, being growing up in the 65 00:04:15,050 --> 00:04:18,530 90s, Gilmore Girls was the show. This was 66 00:04:18,530 --> 00:04:21,090 everything from all of the fast talking, 67 00:04:22,049 --> 00:04:25,889 weird David lynch references. Like this was wb, 68 00:04:25,969 --> 00:04:29,649 like cozy nights at home watching Gilmore Girls, like Dawson's Creek and all of 69 00:04:29,649 --> 00:04:33,409 that. My question is though, like, is he gonna 70 00:04:33,409 --> 00:04:37,209 be completely method for like the whole month of like putting on 71 00:04:37,209 --> 00:04:40,969 his Luke Persona? That's pretty in depth. That's like gonna 72 00:04:40,969 --> 00:04:44,809 be a lot of focused work there. He's got great 73 00:04:44,809 --> 00:04:48,450 experience, don't it? But hopefully it's not a full, a 74 00:04:48,450 --> 00:04:51,850 full day of work at the office. Maybe it's a couple tours here and there. 75 00:04:52,170 --> 00:04:55,450 But one of the things that we took away from this was the 76 00:04:55,450 --> 00:04:58,970 podcasting element, a way that they're taking this show that has 77 00:04:59,050 --> 00:05:02,810 so much nostalgia. My daughters, they're, they're 15 and 19 78 00:05:02,810 --> 00:05:06,410 and they, they love Gilmore Girls and they weren't even born 79 00:05:06,410 --> 00:05:10,090 when it, when it first aired. They're in the reboot section, 80 00:05:10,090 --> 00:05:13,890 right? Yeah, there's a whole, whole world around this 81 00:05:13,890 --> 00:05:17,740 show. That's. It had such a following to it and 82 00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:21,220 to be able to get a little glimpse of this and for the, for Universal 83 00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:24,780 Studios to tie this into an experience and include 84 00:05:24,940 --> 00:05:28,780 podcasting as a part of the event, that's a, that's a pretty 85 00:05:28,780 --> 00:05:32,540 big deal. And even Hollywood studios are realizing the power 86 00:05:33,020 --> 00:05:36,540 of these immersive events and bringing like minded fans together, 87 00:05:37,340 --> 00:05:40,860 it's really interesting too. They had the, the Warner Brothers 88 00:05:41,420 --> 00:05:45,220 executive you mentioned, James Parker Pettit, and he's going to be directing all of 89 00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:48,120 this on the podc. But I also found that 90 00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:52,600 Scott Patterson himself actually has his Own podcast about Gilmore 91 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,400 Girl. So I think that's such an interesting connection there. 92 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,880 Yeah, I didn't. I did not know that in my research. That's. That is 93 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,040 very interesting. Yeah, he. He talks about Gilmore Girls, talks 94 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,400 about the show. I mean, there's actually a lot of Gilmore Girls 95 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,840 podcasts. I. I just, I pulled a few of them and some of them are 96 00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:14,590 really cute. I'm just going to say the. Where are they? 97 00:06:14,590 --> 00:06:18,190 The. The Gilmore gals. Buffy, the Gilmore Slayer. 98 00:06:18,190 --> 00:06:21,990 I like that one. Like 90s culture, I guess. Right. Gilmour 99 00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:25,830 and talking fast. A Gilmore Girls podcast. So all 100 00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:29,349 of those. And then Scott Patterson's himself is 101 00:06:29,349 --> 00:06:32,270 called. This isn't. No, what is it called? 102 00:06:33,150 --> 00:06:36,790 I'm all in is his podcast. And then he does a spin 103 00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:40,550 off as well on Gilmore Girls music. So that's another podcast he has 104 00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:43,950 on Gilmore Girls music. So I might wonder, like, I'm wondering if 105 00:06:43,950 --> 00:06:47,650 maybe pitched this to them. Right. And went, oh, yeah, well, we've 106 00:06:47,650 --> 00:06:50,690 got this studio space. We could totally do this. And can you be in character 107 00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:54,410 for a month? Sure, no problem. No problem. And 108 00:06:54,410 --> 00:06:57,890 this is one of those things that we talk about, you know, if you're producing 109 00:06:57,890 --> 00:07:01,650 something, if you're a fan of something, or you're immersed, 110 00:07:01,650 --> 00:07:05,290 maybe your podcast is about accounting or real estate, or 111 00:07:05,290 --> 00:07:08,890 there's something about what you do that other people 112 00:07:08,970 --> 00:07:12,730 relate to. And in this case, a major hit television 113 00:07:12,730 --> 00:07:16,440 show has massive fan appeal. And they're doing these 114 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,040 types of events to. To kind of solidify their place in history, to 115 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,800 really reward the people who have been there since the beginning. And 116 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,960 these are the types of things that people are thinking about now for their own 117 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,560 business, for their own podcast. How can you bring your community together 118 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,480 around something everybody loves and just have a great 119 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,000 Christmas time, You know, in this case, you know, everybody loves. 120 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:43,500 What's the name of it? Stars Hollow. Stars Hollow in the wintertime 121 00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:47,300 Is this magical place for the fans? Yeah, just 122 00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:51,100 like a snow globe. And they're bringing their fans 123 00:07:51,100 --> 00:07:54,580 together. So what can you do? How can you bring your community 124 00:07:54,660 --> 00:07:58,460 together to create experiences like this? Yeah. 125 00:07:58,460 --> 00:08:02,180 And I think also all of this, plus the fact that they still 126 00:08:02,180 --> 00:08:05,860 have a mystery guest to be announced or to just show 127 00:08:05,860 --> 00:08:09,140 up. I mean, can you imagine, like, is this going to be Jared Padlecki or 128 00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:12,800 like Melissa McCarthy? I would die. I. My guess, though, I'm 129 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,600 putting my bet on Kirk. I think it's going to be Sean Gunn 130 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,320 that played Kirk because he was like, he had such a contentious relationship with 131 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,720 Luke on the show. I think that would Be really funny. Well, place your bets. 132 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,439 We'll find out December 18th. Get your tickets. You can watch the live stream 133 00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:30,800 as well. Let's go over to story 134 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,400 number two. We're going to the Brooklyn the Lighthouse, where 135 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,360 creators go to shine and record everything. 136 00:08:38,370 --> 00:08:41,690 Brooklyn just scored a massive win for creators with the opening of the 137 00:08:41,690 --> 00:08:45,450 Lighthouse, a stunning, fully loaded creator campus inside 138 00:08:45,450 --> 00:08:48,610 the historical 1872 pencil factory. 139 00:08:49,170 --> 00:08:52,690 Now redesigned as a creative playground. With podcast 140 00:08:52,690 --> 00:08:56,330 studios, live event spaces, test kitchens, screening rooms, edit 141 00:08:56,330 --> 00:09:00,170 bays, and even a rooftop terrace overlooking the east river, this place is built 142 00:09:00,170 --> 00:09:03,250 to power every stage of modern content creation. 143 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,760 Led by Wailer Group and curated through a membership model co chaired by 144 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,640 Colin and Samir, the Lighthouse is pitched as the studio 145 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,840 system for creators, offering a space where artists, 146 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,480 podcasters, filmmakers and digital storytellers can collaborate, 147 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,080 perform live shows and produce broadcast ready content. 148 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,640 Their opening festival hosted everyone from Anna Gasteyer 149 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,000 to Danny Brown, signaling this is more than a workspace, 150 00:09:30,510 --> 00:09:33,990 it's a cultural engine built for the next wave of creator led 151 00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:37,830 IP. Now the big thing on here, 152 00:09:37,830 --> 00:09:41,430 Collins, Amir, huge YouTubers, very talented 153 00:09:41,430 --> 00:09:44,830 interviewers. If you ever watch interviews, they're long form, in depth, 154 00:09:45,310 --> 00:09:48,830 massive following, just immersed in YouTube, the 155 00:09:48,830 --> 00:09:52,670 algorithm, building a YouTube business. And this place 156 00:09:52,670 --> 00:09:56,270 isn't just for little podcast, not podcast studios in the corner. 157 00:09:56,810 --> 00:10:00,370 It isn't meeting rooms, they have social spaces, there's event 158 00:10:00,370 --> 00:10:03,610 spaces. So these creators also have this 159 00:10:03,610 --> 00:10:07,010 opportunity to have this common area to not only 160 00:10:07,010 --> 00:10:10,810 collaborate, but maybe even put on their own shows or their own 161 00:10:10,810 --> 00:10:14,450 events in one little space. Not little space. This is a huge 162 00:10:14,450 --> 00:10:18,090 space. What were some of your takeaways? Oh yeah, I mean 163 00:10:18,090 --> 00:10:21,850 all of that as I'm reading and saying, okay, they've got the studio, the editing 164 00:10:21,850 --> 00:10:25,650 bay, all of this, it just keeps going. So when I was getting 165 00:10:25,650 --> 00:10:29,450 started, I was with Talkshoe and Talkshoe had their own studios 166 00:10:29,450 --> 00:10:33,050 in, in Toronto in a place called Stacked Market. It was this pop 167 00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:36,690 up studio and that's what we used when I got started with. That's so 168 00:10:36,690 --> 00:10:40,290 morbid. And it was everything like to not have a space to go 169 00:10:40,290 --> 00:10:44,090 and record. Everything was together. So we had our platform 170 00:10:44,170 --> 00:10:47,850 that we had the, the place to record. No editing though, but 171 00:10:47,850 --> 00:10:51,690 that was still something you could do with them on the, the 172 00:10:51,690 --> 00:10:55,470 desktop. But having also, like you said, the community space 173 00:10:55,550 --> 00:10:59,310 additionally and all of these other services, it just makes it so 174 00:10:59,310 --> 00:11:02,390 much easier for creators. And like you said, this isn't, this is kind of like 175 00:11:02,390 --> 00:11:06,030 an elevated place. But I think that just means that more people are going to 176 00:11:06,030 --> 00:11:09,470 take their podcasts or Be able to take their podcast to the next level. 177 00:11:10,030 --> 00:11:13,390 And especially for those who maybe just don't have the 178 00:11:13,630 --> 00:11:16,990 resources to do that, like a full 179 00:11:16,990 --> 00:11:20,310 podcast studio or, you know, renting out the space is always a 180 00:11:20,310 --> 00:11:24,090 hassle. But this is, this is really like one and done. This is like 181 00:11:24,090 --> 00:11:27,850 a whole business model all in one. And I'm really jealous of everyone 182 00:11:27,850 --> 00:11:31,450 in Brooklyn. I. When I heard of the rooftop 183 00:11:31,450 --> 00:11:35,210 terrace, I first saw like, oh, a summer evening, maybe 184 00:11:35,210 --> 00:11:38,970 a one year anniversary party of your podcast. You could have a 185 00:11:38,970 --> 00:11:42,690 live show, you know, maybe 20, 30 people up with you, 186 00:11:42,770 --> 00:11:46,570 pass around cocktails, you know, open bar, record a podcast 187 00:11:46,570 --> 00:11:49,920 and have this great view, you know, overlooking lower 188 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,480 Manhattan. What a, what a great space and just a 189 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,200 tremendous asset for the creators of Brooklyn. Yeah, such and such 190 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,960 a good idea. I mean, we all know that we're on the verge of something. 191 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,920 Even though podcasting is, you know, 192 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,440 established, this is, like I said, I think this is taking things to the next 193 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,120 level. I think we might see more of this happening hopefully around the 194 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,760 States, in Canada. Yeah. One of the things we preach here is you may not 195 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,400 have a theater like we have here in Pittsburgh, or you may not have this, 196 00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:20,860 the Lighthouse, like they do in Brooklyn, but you have coffee shops, 197 00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:23,980 bars, restaurants, libraries that are looking for 198 00:12:24,460 --> 00:12:28,260 people to come in. They need, they like customers to come into their coffee shop 199 00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:31,740 at even two or three in the afternoon on a Sunday during a slower 200 00:12:31,740 --> 00:12:35,060 time. That might be a time for you to test the waters to do a 201 00:12:35,060 --> 00:12:38,860 live show somewhere, you know, make some new connections, help 202 00:12:38,860 --> 00:12:42,660 a local business and just have a little fun, little festivity on a Saturday 203 00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:46,450 afternoon. No, definitely. Taking it live makes 204 00:12:46,530 --> 00:12:50,330 a complete difference. So having those places, keeping those places in mind, but 205 00:12:50,330 --> 00:12:54,090 then also having this one stop shop, I think is everything. Yeah, mix and 206 00:12:54,090 --> 00:12:56,730 match, you know, a little bit here, a little bit there. If you don't have 207 00:12:56,730 --> 00:13:00,130 it, you know, start thinking about how do we do this in our own community. 208 00:13:01,010 --> 00:13:04,570 Definitely. Here we go. We're going to story number three. One of my 209 00:13:04,570 --> 00:13:08,170 favorites. I love stories that surprise me. And here's an 210 00:13:08,170 --> 00:13:12,010 industry I never thought would have podcasting, but this 211 00:13:12,010 --> 00:13:15,810 one comes to us from TD World. High Voltage Higher Entertainment. The 212 00:13:15,810 --> 00:13:19,290 Lineman Rodeo goes live. The Line Life 213 00:13:19,290 --> 00:13:22,610 podcast proved that any industry, yes, even power 214 00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:26,410 lineman, can turn their biggest annual event into a live podcast 215 00:13:26,410 --> 00:13:29,730 moment. Broadcasting straight from the 2025 International 216 00:13:29,970 --> 00:13:33,570 Lineman's Rodeo, the show captured competition, highlights, 217 00:13:33,810 --> 00:13:37,540 opening ceremony, energy and real time interviews from the 218 00:13:37,540 --> 00:13:41,100 field. With the event marking its largest Turnout in over 40 219 00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:44,260 years, the podcast doubled as both A celebration 220 00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:48,380 and a living time capsule of an industry gathering that rarely 221 00:13:48,380 --> 00:13:52,220 gets this kind of media spotlight. It's the perfect example 222 00:13:52,220 --> 00:13:56,020 of how niche communities can amplify their culture, honor their people, 223 00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:59,940 and reach new audiences simply by hitting record at 224 00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:01,620 their biggest event of the year. 225 00:14:03,540 --> 00:14:07,380 Now, this one, we had Maria Daniels on the, on the show before. She's from 226 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,280 Ohio. Her husband is a lineman. So I, I, I sent this show to her 227 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,360 or the story to her, and she said, we've been there. We've been to the 228 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,160 lineman rodeo. Oh, my gosh, it's such a small world. 229 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,880 And this is one of those industries where I didn't expect them to have a 230 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,600 podcast, and I didn't expect them to choose podcasting as a form of 231 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,400 entertainment at their annual convention. And also, what is a 232 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,600 lineman rodeo? Like, what happens there? I have so many 233 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,240 questions, but I think this is great, like having that event 234 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,190 and then bringing in a podcast kind of on the sidelines. I think 235 00:14:40,190 --> 00:14:43,350 for me, what that says is they're gaining some 236 00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:47,030 curiosity, because when you have the podcast set up, you see 237 00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:50,470 people talking. That looks like an interview. People start to wonder, like, oh, look at 238 00:14:50,470 --> 00:14:54,229 the equipment. Maybe that person's famous. You know, what's going on over there. It 239 00:14:54,229 --> 00:14:57,790 definitely brings in some energy to the event, but then also creates that 240 00:14:57,790 --> 00:15:01,230 curiosity. People are going to come over and find out what's going on with this, 241 00:15:01,470 --> 00:15:05,150 this podcast, what's happening here. Yeah. And it's your opportunity. 242 00:15:05,150 --> 00:15:08,820 I don't want to use the word micro celebrity, but if you're in a 243 00:15:08,820 --> 00:15:12,620 niche industry, like, you know, lineman, there's 244 00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:16,340 a couple people who are doing a podcast just for linemen. And I 245 00:15:16,340 --> 00:15:20,140 bet within that industry, they're starting to get recognition, they're starting to get 246 00:15:20,140 --> 00:15:23,740 known, they're starting to be the experts in that industry by doing this 247 00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:27,260 live show, by sharing information, maybe talking about success 248 00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:30,900 stories or struggles after a storm, or, you know, just sharing 249 00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:34,670 some insight how they, they brought electricity to a family that was without it 250 00:15:34,670 --> 00:15:38,230 for weeks. And you get to hear these stories and they get to position 251 00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:42,070 themselves as the expert in their industry. Definitely. I think it's also 252 00:15:42,070 --> 00:15:45,430 a message for podcasts that are in those kind of niche 253 00:15:45,830 --> 00:15:49,590 areas to look out for those opportunities at bigger events. Right. 254 00:15:49,669 --> 00:15:53,110 So, you know, recording, you'll get your stuff together. 255 00:15:53,510 --> 00:15:57,190 I know kind of my what my first impression was like, okay, I'm going to 256 00:15:57,190 --> 00:15:59,870 be at a big event, there's going to be crowd noise, that kind of stuff. 257 00:15:59,870 --> 00:16:03,590 But that can add a little bit of ambiance to an episode. Right. That you're, 258 00:16:03,590 --> 00:16:07,390 you've got that live energy. So. So it's just something to think about what other 259 00:16:07,390 --> 00:16:11,190 live events would really appreciate your, like, be in 260 00:16:11,190 --> 00:16:14,990 that niche and appreciate that there's a podcast that's actually getting the word out about 261 00:16:14,990 --> 00:16:18,350 what they are. I think that's great. Yeah. We're seeing this more and more when, 262 00:16:18,350 --> 00:16:21,949 if you went to conventions five, six years ago, there was a band 263 00:16:22,190 --> 00:16:25,950 or a comedian, a magician. But now we're starting to 264 00:16:25,950 --> 00:16:29,390 see podcasters as part of the entertainment of conventions. 265 00:16:29,710 --> 00:16:33,560 And one of the things I'm starting to realize here is these 266 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,000 conventions are inviting podcasters, they're promoting, hey, 267 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,080 I'm going to be on the main stage during the convention. So they're talking about 268 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,840 it leading up to the convention. Then they record the episode 269 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,680 at the convention and then they release the episode at the convention. 270 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,360 So if you're hosting events, thinking about adding podcasting 271 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,880 as part of the entertainment is a win win for both you 272 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,400 because you're going to get promoted before, during and after the show. 273 00:17:00,140 --> 00:17:03,700 And for the podcaster, they're getting a couple days, maybe even a month worth of 274 00:17:03,700 --> 00:17:07,260 content because they're able to interview everybody in one central place. 275 00:17:07,740 --> 00:17:10,860 And it's just a great way to come together in your industry 276 00:17:11,660 --> 00:17:14,980 and lock up a bunch of content for a month or 2. Oh, 277 00:17:14,980 --> 00:17:18,780 100%. And I think there's some really big opportunities for being creative 278 00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:22,060 with that content as well. Like we're going to talk about it in some upcoming 279 00:17:22,060 --> 00:17:25,180 stories, but just ways to get people grabbing 280 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,559 the live podcast and having access to it for a certain amount of time, I 281 00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:33,239 think that can really go a long way with again, bringing that curiosity 282 00:17:33,239 --> 00:17:36,839 and getting people interested in listening to your show. Yeah. 283 00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:40,039 And one of the benefits, we always say if you get to see these people 284 00:17:40,039 --> 00:17:43,759 that you listen to all the time. And it's. Podcasting is mostly 285 00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:47,479 a fairly passive medium. Maybe you listen in your morning commute. 286 00:17:47,479 --> 00:17:50,839 Do you have it on the background while you're working? But when you see them 287 00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:54,530 on the stage and all these things that you've been envisioning in your mind 288 00:17:54,770 --> 00:17:58,410 and you get to see them in, in real life and see them think 289 00:17:58,410 --> 00:18:02,210 in the moment, how they respond to questions, how they treat people 290 00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:05,690 that ask them, how they treat one another, you get to see all that out 291 00:18:05,690 --> 00:18:09,330 in the open and it makes for so much, a much more 292 00:18:09,490 --> 00:18:13,290 immersive experience than imagining it. You know, how it goes down 293 00:18:13,290 --> 00:18:17,130 in. Your earbuds for sure. Coming out from 294 00:18:17,130 --> 00:18:20,820 behind the microphone. Let's go. We'll Keep 295 00:18:20,820 --> 00:18:24,140 it moving along. We're going to the 50th anniversary of 296 00:18:24,620 --> 00:18:27,740 little House on the Prairie. This comes to us from Broadway World 297 00:18:28,060 --> 00:18:31,820 Prairie Power, turning 50 years of nostalgia into 298 00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:35,179 a live New York City podcast spectacle. 299 00:18:35,420 --> 00:18:38,540 The Little House on the Prairie fans are hitching their wagons to 300 00:18:38,540 --> 00:18:42,380 Manhattan as The Little House 50th anniversary podcast 301 00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:46,164 goes live at the Green Room 42 on November 302 00:18:46,302 --> 00:18:49,460 22, 2025. Led by Alison 303 00:18:49,460 --> 00:18:52,980 Arngrum, the iconic Nellie Olsen herself, 304 00:18:53,060 --> 00:18:56,340 along with Dean Butler and host Pamela Bob, 305 00:18:56,980 --> 00:19:00,620 the show promises backstage stories, music, comedy, and a 306 00:19:00,620 --> 00:19:04,100 whole lot of prairie mischief. It's a nostalgic 307 00:19:04,260 --> 00:19:07,980 fjord celebration, mixing legacy talent with modern live 308 00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:11,620 podcasting, proving once again that longtime fandoms 309 00:19:11,620 --> 00:19:15,370 crave experiences that bring their favorite worlds back to life. 310 00:19:15,690 --> 00:19:19,490 And for fans who can't make the trip, the live stream lets them keep the 311 00:19:19,490 --> 00:19:23,050 magic for 30 days. This is what happens when a beloved TV 312 00:19:23,050 --> 00:19:26,890 classic evolves into an event driven interactive podcast experience. 313 00:19:27,530 --> 00:19:31,210 The past becomes present again and the fans get to be 314 00:19:31,210 --> 00:19:34,570 part of the story. Being part 315 00:19:34,730 --> 00:19:38,410 of Little House on the Prairie, I will take it. What a legacy. 316 00:19:38,650 --> 00:19:42,250 I'll admit too, for a minute when I saw 50 years, I was like, wow, 317 00:19:42,490 --> 00:19:45,930 1955. No, 1975, come on. 318 00:19:47,210 --> 00:19:50,450 I had to do it. I was like, wow, 50 years. That's a long time 319 00:19:50,450 --> 00:19:54,210 to still again have that legacy. And it's really interesting. So that's 320 00:19:54,210 --> 00:19:57,770 the part that we were saying, is that they're taking this and giving fans 321 00:19:57,770 --> 00:20:00,890 access, special access, like treating the real, true, 322 00:20:01,690 --> 00:20:05,450 true fans to something unique here, I think as 323 00:20:05,450 --> 00:20:09,250 well. Yeah. If you've watched the reruns, if you grew up 324 00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:12,410 watching Little House on a Prayer, it was such an iconic part of the. At 325 00:20:12,410 --> 00:20:16,160 least for me, for the 80s. Oh, totally. And people that was 326 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,080 like such a part of culture was Little House on the Prairie, whether 327 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,880 it was even before there were Internet memes, there were, there were like, 328 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,560 jokes that went through society and there were things about Little House on the Prairie 329 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,959 that were just ingrained in us that we loved. And we always 330 00:20:30,959 --> 00:20:34,600 appreciated those moments and sometimes we goofed about it and we laughed about it. 331 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,280 But there was no escaping Little House on the Prairie in the 80s. 332 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,120 It was part of almost everything. Oh, absolutely. And it's so 333 00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:45,940 funny you bring up jokes because I was going to ask too. So Allison Ungram, 334 00:20:45,940 --> 00:20:49,540 she's Nellie, you mentioned. And there. I just wonder if they 335 00:20:49,540 --> 00:20:53,340 chose her or if she signed up for this kind of event or something because 336 00:20:53,580 --> 00:20:57,100 she's having a resurgence. There's a really popular video 337 00:20:57,180 --> 00:21:00,859 that, that circulates on TikTok of Little House on the Prairie and 338 00:21:00,859 --> 00:21:04,540 her pushing one of the other characters down the hill. And it was 339 00:21:04,540 --> 00:21:08,260 made famous by a couple of drag queens, by Trixie and Katya and that 340 00:21:08,260 --> 00:21:11,780 they've got a big following on their podcast. So I think it's so funny that 341 00:21:11,780 --> 00:21:14,840 they, they've got her on this because it's gonna be, I think it 342 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,880 attracts like another fan base of the people that know her from that video 343 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,680 on TikTok as well. Yeah, it's just such a part of 344 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,320 culture. And just like our other story with Gilmore Girls, there is such an 345 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,720 appreciation of the show, there is such a love of this show. And 346 00:21:29,959 --> 00:21:33,680 again, bringing fans together, not a big secret. Like, this is a great 347 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,480 strategy to really connect people together. But what's a little 348 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,230 different from this one is even if you can't make it that day, they're 349 00:21:41,230 --> 00:21:44,990 offering the replay for 30 days. So think of this 350 00:21:44,990 --> 00:21:48,790 is a whole nother level of broadcast entertainment. It's, it's 351 00:21:48,790 --> 00:21:52,550 a private stream, but if you can't make the stream, it's still available to you. 352 00:21:53,110 --> 00:21:56,190 You won't miss out even if you can't make it. So you get 30 extra 353 00:21:56,190 --> 00:22:00,030 days to make sure that you don't miss anything about it. Yeah, 354 00:22:00,030 --> 00:22:02,470 I think that's so special and really smart on their part. 355 00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:07,110 Awesome. New York's coming in strong. We had two stars from New York already. 356 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,320 Let's go to story number five. This is a big one. We got Microsoft involved. 357 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,160 We're going to techcellence and truth. Rich Little Broke Girls goes live at 358 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,800 Microsoft's House of Black Brilliance. This comes to us from essence 359 00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:23,840 at Afro Tech 2025, Microsoft's House of Black Tech 360 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,520 Cellence close its week long celebration of culture and 361 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,120 innovation with a powerful live taping of Rich Little 362 00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:34,850 Broke Girls. Podcast host Kimberly Bazzu and 363 00:22:34,850 --> 00:22:38,570 creator strategist Jody Taylor delivered a vulnerable insight 364 00:22:38,570 --> 00:22:42,090 packed conversation on breaking into tech, surviving 365 00:22:42,090 --> 00:22:45,770 corporate spaces, balancing creator life and designing 366 00:22:45,770 --> 00:22:49,610 careers that reflect your authentic self. Intentionally, not 367 00:22:49,610 --> 00:22:53,370 blindly. The live event embodied the house's mission to create a 368 00:22:53,370 --> 00:22:57,210 place of community replenishment and radical excellence for black 369 00:22:57,210 --> 00:23:00,940 creatives. With conversations about authenticity as 370 00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:04,580 currency, finding your zone of genius, proof of concept 371 00:23:04,580 --> 00:23:08,140 thinking, and transforming personal hardships into creative 372 00:23:08,140 --> 00:23:11,900 fuel. This episode wasn't just a podcast. It was 373 00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:15,580 a masterclass in building identity, wealth and purpose in the 374 00:23:15,580 --> 00:23:19,100 creator economy. There's so much here there. This 375 00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:22,900 event is brilliant, absolutely brilliant from 376 00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:26,700 the way that the two women are actually friends. So when they're 377 00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:30,420 saying, you know a lot of the topic was authenticity. And they did these deep 378 00:23:30,420 --> 00:23:34,000 dives into their experiences with corporate culture and their 379 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,640 struggles and like building their careers. Having them be friends to 380 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,360 begin with, I think opened up everything for being authentic, 381 00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:44,560 for that vulnerability and gave the listener something 382 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,319 unique. There was a unique focus to this event. It wasn't just a one off 383 00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:51,360 episode. They definitely had a specific direction in mind. 384 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,960 Yeah, this was top tier all around. One of the things that we do at 385 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,120 our theater is look at some of the events that we're doing, the community that 386 00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:01,810 we're bringing together, like minded people, people in the business 387 00:24:01,810 --> 00:24:05,650 community, people who are lifting each other. You often hear on many of the shows 388 00:24:05,650 --> 00:24:09,370 on my stage, you know, the rising tide lifts all ship and this was 389 00:24:09,370 --> 00:24:12,930 a masterclass in coming together, elevating. 390 00:24:13,170 --> 00:24:16,810 You're getting a giant sponsor like Microsoft supporting 391 00:24:16,810 --> 00:24:20,530 all of this. This is a win, win all around. I love 392 00:24:20,530 --> 00:24:24,090 this story from the moment I first saw it. Yeah, no, this is a big 393 00:24:24,090 --> 00:24:26,810 one and it's a big thing for all podcasting, I think. You know, getting those 394 00:24:26,810 --> 00:24:30,590 big sponsors and it's also just setting the stage of having focused 395 00:24:30,590 --> 00:24:34,430 events. And you know, in the, the deeper article here, they're just 396 00:24:34,430 --> 00:24:37,030 going into talking about how tech and 397 00:24:38,230 --> 00:24:40,630 in the black community, tech for 398 00:24:41,990 --> 00:24:45,709 the black entrepreneurs and setting a tone for culture going 399 00:24:45,709 --> 00:24:49,430 forward I think is huge and just really exciting. Yeah, 400 00:24:49,430 --> 00:24:53,030 yeah, keep this coming up, Microsoft, tremendous sponsor, 401 00:24:53,030 --> 00:24:56,800 huge event. This was a crazy. Check all the links in the show 402 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,600 notes. There's this article that we're citing here, has top five gems. So 403 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,080 there's, there's a whole great list of things to take from 404 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,200 an event like this. And how can you apply these types of things? How can 405 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,720 you bring creators in your area together? You don't have to have the 406 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,480 Microsoft sponsors. You don't have to have a giant podcast. You 407 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,120 can start with small meetups, small communities around 408 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:23,060 what you love, around, you know, your interest. You can 409 00:25:23,060 --> 00:25:25,460 start building these types of events in your own community. 410 00:25:26,820 --> 00:25:30,540 Yeah, the sponsorship thing is key. That's interesting. Yeah, 411 00:25:30,540 --> 00:25:32,900 that's huge pull at Microsoft. Yeah. 412 00:25:34,260 --> 00:25:37,940 And this one was fun. I thought Ashe and I have talked before. Some of 413 00:25:37,940 --> 00:25:41,700 our background and the music we shared, the movies we like growing up. And 414 00:25:41,860 --> 00:25:45,660 this one, this is one of those things I file under this blew my mind 415 00:25:45,660 --> 00:25:49,450 that this happens in podcasting. And this, Wait till you hear this 416 00:25:49,450 --> 00:25:52,770 story. I just loved it so much. And this is about secret social 417 00:25:52,930 --> 00:25:56,330 networks, how kids turn podcast comments into digital tree 418 00:25:56,330 --> 00:25:59,930 houses. And again, this isn't a live podcast story, but this 419 00:25:59,930 --> 00:26:03,490 is One of those outliers of podcasting that's happening. 420 00:26:04,130 --> 00:26:07,690 So in a plot twist only the Internet could deliver, kids have started 421 00:26:07,690 --> 00:26:11,290 transforming the content comment sections of random years 422 00:26:11,290 --> 00:26:15,100 old podcast episodes into covert chat rooms, 423 00:26:15,420 --> 00:26:18,940 a workaround born from schools and politicians banning them from 424 00:26:18,940 --> 00:26:22,540 traditional social platforms. NPR's TED Radio 425 00:26:22,540 --> 00:26:26,380 Hour team noticed bursts of comments like you're so pretty and 426 00:26:26,380 --> 00:26:30,220 inside jokes on three year old episodes, revealing that 427 00:26:30,220 --> 00:26:33,980 students are using podcast comments as hidden third spaces 428 00:26:33,980 --> 00:26:37,340 where adults won't look. This mirrors a 2019 429 00:26:37,340 --> 00:26:40,950 phenomenon of teens turning Google Docs into social 430 00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:44,510 networks by chatting in a document and resolving 431 00:26:44,510 --> 00:26:48,230 threads when teachers approached as grown ups keep looking 432 00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:51,590 down the digital spaces, spaces kids use to communicate, 433 00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:55,310 kids keep inventing new ones, proving both the 434 00:26:55,310 --> 00:26:58,990 creativity of young people and the futility of trying to ban their 435 00:26:58,990 --> 00:27:02,470 social lives out of existence. If anything, 436 00:27:02,950 --> 00:27:06,720 this shows how communication will always find a way to, even if 437 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,920 it means hiding inside an old NPR podcast. 438 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,960 This is what just cracked me up. I do remember the Google Docs 439 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,440 and, and that was a big thing where they would just start typing, 440 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,040 typing, typing, and then if something, if something got compromised, control, 441 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,480 alt, delete, the chat room is gone. And now they're doing this 442 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,400 anonymously. They're finding old episodes on the Internet 443 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,200 and just starting a little chat room, leaving comments. 444 00:27:32,570 --> 00:27:35,770 Well, as a former teacher, I love this, but 445 00:27:36,170 --> 00:27:39,690 in the classroom, I mean, we knew it was happening, but 446 00:27:39,690 --> 00:27:42,970 I, I think this is genius. This is exactly what you said. 447 00:27:42,970 --> 00:27:46,730 Communication nature will find a way, prevent these kids from 448 00:27:46,730 --> 00:27:50,210 communicating with each other and they're going to be creative. And I kind of love 449 00:27:50,210 --> 00:27:53,850 that. I kind of love that they figured this out. You know what, it 450 00:27:53,850 --> 00:27:57,370 also just to be clear, so would we, for example, in a 451 00:27:57,370 --> 00:28:01,070 classroom, take away their phones still, there are classrooms that do have like 452 00:28:01,070 --> 00:28:04,590 a laptop centric kind of classroom. Right. So even without 453 00:28:04,590 --> 00:28:07,950 phones now they go to those, the 454 00:28:07,950 --> 00:28:11,790 desktop platforms. And what have you got? You've got podcasts, you've got 455 00:28:11,790 --> 00:28:15,630 like Spotify comments section and you know, it's just 456 00:28:15,630 --> 00:28:19,390 so funny that they, they found it in three year old episodes. I mean, it's 457 00:28:19,390 --> 00:28:23,230 kind of great. It gives me like engagement on my podcast. I mean, come 458 00:28:23,230 --> 00:28:27,050 on kids, come on over. I think it's wonderful. Yeah. If 459 00:28:27,050 --> 00:28:29,890 all of a sudden you see one of your episodes just pop, you're like, wow, 460 00:28:29,890 --> 00:28:33,570 that one's really hitting. It must resonate with people. Well, it also might 461 00:28:33,570 --> 00:28:36,650 be that, you know, kids have found your show and they're using it as a 462 00:28:36,650 --> 00:28:40,050 chat room. I love it. It's just so creative. It's so 463 00:28:40,050 --> 00:28:43,890 rebellious. And, you know, I think we should be grateful that, 464 00:28:43,890 --> 00:28:47,250 you know, the kids are all right. They're finding a way to, to still communicate. 465 00:28:47,570 --> 00:28:51,330 Yeah. You can't get upset about creativity. And if you lay 466 00:28:51,330 --> 00:28:54,610 the rules down and they find a way around it, you got to kind of 467 00:28:54,610 --> 00:28:58,010 tip the hat and say, nice. Nice. Well played. Well played. 468 00:28:58,170 --> 00:29:01,890 Well played. Well played. Exactly. Exactly. That story came to us 469 00:29:01,890 --> 00:29:04,690 from Tech Dirt and all the stories and all of our sources are in the 470 00:29:04,690 --> 00:29:08,250 show notes.
