Hey everybod. Great show. Six more stories coming your way. They
just keep coming in. Live podcasting is growing in leaps and
bounds and this podcast is just showcasing all that
talent that's going to the live stage. The reason we do it, we have
a podcast theater, the Poduty Live Podcast Theater just
outside of Pittsburgh. We do some great events. We have great live
podcasts come through and perform on our stage.
We just had the Pittsburgh Podcast Meetup, which is a great
three hour event where I feed everybody pizza drinks and
then we do Q and A. We learn about our problems, where are we struggling?
And we share ideas and concepts and it's a lot of fun. There'll be another
one coming up in September. If you'd like to see that live stream, let me
know. Leave a comment, Reach out to me. It's something we're considering doing,
but right now it's for the Pittsburgh podcasters. Let's
get into our stories. Today we have hot takes and
barbecue. The Car Dealer Podcast gets a live upgrade.
This one comes to us from Car Dealer magazine. And the Car Dealer
Podcast is firing up the grill and the microphones for a live
recording and summer party in Oxfordshire
on September 24th. Sponsored by Motorway,
the event will feature industry heavyweights like Vicky Hart,
head of marketing and digital at Waylands, tackling the hottest
dealership debates of 2025, from tech consolidation
to electric vehicle strategy and the rise of new market entrants.
With two more panelists yet to be announced in a post show garden
barbecue, it's shaping up to be equal parts insight
and afterparty. So this is a European Car
Dealer Podcast. They're having their own event. They're, they've taken their
podcast, they're taking it to the people, they're performing it live and
having like a mini conference, a mini party. And it's a great way to connect
your business with your audience is through live events like that.
This is what I've been preaching, so check it out. If you're in the uk,
you got a car dealer podcast, you're in the auto industry or you just
like Vicky Hart from Waylands, you can learn some new information
about automotive marketing. Our second story tonight, Seed
Vault shenanigans with Trixie and Katya. Trixie
and Katya have officially taken their comedy global and
glacial as the Bald and the Beautiful goes live
from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway.
Between dodging reindeer traffic jams and saluting a
knighted penguin named Sir Nils Olav, the
duo delivers their signature chaos, hilarity and
commentary on everything from high school reunions to
psychedelic side quests. It's a peak absurdity at the
edge of the earth, sponsored by Better Help Chime and Hungry Root.
Because nothing says mental health like polar comedy in a
frozen vault. This is a YouTube video. You can watch the live performance.
It was a packed audience, a giant theater. This
one's called the Land of a Thousand Fjords Live from Norway.
Check it out. The Bald and the Beautiful live show. Performing live
podcasters selling tickets to live audiences and having these
crazy in person events. They're getting
real time feedback. They're building a global community. They're
building an in person community of people who want to come out and
enjoy the podcast. Our third story tonight,
Macro Micro and Gummy Bears. The Odd Lots
goes live. This comes to us from the New York Times. The Odd
Lots podcast, hosted by Bloomberg's Joe Wiesenthal and
Tracy Alloway, packed out Racket NYC with
a standing room only crowd of finance pros, market
obsessives and yes, gummy bear truthers.
The live show featured contrarian guests, chaotic charts and
enough macroeconomic volatility to make your
portfolio sweat. With topics ranging from chicken bee
capitalism to why you can't trade onion futures,
Odd Lots proves economics can be gripping, especially when
it involves semiconductors, pork byproducts and a
$35 hat. It's the kind of podcast both
capitalists and their critics can't stop binging. So
check it out. The Odd Lots podcast again, doing another live show in
front of a live audience. Can you see the trend here? That's what Poduty and
the News is about. We're showcasing all These stories going on
around the world. And here's one Go live or go home.
If you were at the Pittsburgh Podcast Meetup, we had a lot of people who
were doing news stories and talk radio, and that medium
is now embracing the live audience. Yes, you
want to have your podcast, but also a lot of these news and talk
radio hosts and a lot of these podcasts, their audiences
aren't just a download away. A lot of them are looking for
real time news. They're looking for live streams, live shows.
So this is something that Barrett Media brought to us. In an era
where everything's on demand, news talk radio hosts are being
reminded, don't forget your live audience. A new op ed
by the Barrett Media's Garrett Sear, right, urges
broadcasters not to fall in love with podcast playback numbers
while ignoring the irreplaceable spark of live radio.
That's where the community forms, that's where breaking news hits hardest. And
real time accountability keeps things honest. It's
a message I echoed at a recent Pittsburgh Podcast Meetup because whether you're behind
a radio mic or on a podcast stage, that live audience
is still the heartbeat of the whole show. So yes,
you can go live, you can go live from your news office, but you can
also do these shows live in front of an audience. And that community
that you're building in real time, that's a connection that you can't
get from an MP3 file and a download once a week.
All right, trust me on this one. This one comes to us from the control
all speech YouTube channel. They're at a conference called TrustCon.
At TrustCon 2024, the Trust and Safety Insider podcast
went live with a powerful frontline stories from professionals
shaping digital safety policies around the globe. Hosted
by Google's Danielle Roman, with guests from Pinterest, Twitch
and the global Internet forum to counter terrorism, the
episode explored the emotional toll of content moderation,
the importance of diverse lived experiences on safety teams,
and why caring deeply is both a strength and a
challenge. From countering extremism to building safe
platforms for creative expression, this panel reminded us
that trust and safety isn't just policy, it's deeply
personal. And this is an example of a conference,
something in an industry that you may or may not be a part of.
But on these conferences they have main stages and side
stages where they are now performing podcasts. During the conference,
instead of going to see a speaker session, you may go to a panel and
that panel may now be a podcast. So keep that in mind if
you're in a business space. If you're. No matter what niche you're in,
there's going to be a conference related to what you're doing and those
conferences need entertainment and they're more and more turning towards
filling those sessions with podcasts. And finally, our
last story tonight, Vegas gets a dose of brotherly
love. This comes to us from the Strat. You can get your tickets at the
link in the show notes the Lawrence brothers are trading sitcom
sets for the Vegas strip as the Brotherly Love
podcast goes live at the Strat. Joey, Matthew and
Andrew, yes, those 90s icons are stepping on a
stage for a nostalgic fueled show that's part podcast,
part concert and part comedy night. With
a live band, surprise guests and musical moments from the brothers themselves.
It's a full on Vegas variety experience
that's light on filters and heavy on charm.
After all, with 90 years of combined experience, who better to school us in
laughs, heart and hair gel than the Lawrence legacy.
Just another example. Big celebrities are doing this. We
know that they can draw an audience. We know that they're they're going
to theaters, they're going to auditoriums and they're filling them up.
So we know that the public is now getting used to
this type of entertainment and they are going out in
droves to support live podcasting. And that's
where places like the Paduti Podcast Theater come in. We are that
middle ground. We are building the place that's between your home studio, your home
office and the auditorium. We're that middle ground to
get you from point A to point C, which is finally doing a show
in front of a theater auditorium and making some money. That was
