13
00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:01,220
Everybody. Welcome to Poduty and the News for Monday, June 30, 2025.

14
00:01:01,220 --> 00:01:05,020
I'm Jeff. I'm the owner of the Poduty Live podcast

15
00:01:05,020 --> 00:01:08,340
theater, the world's first live podcast theater.

16
00:01:08,420 --> 00:01:11,700
And we put this podcast together just to

17
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:15,780
show different live events happening around the world with the

18
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:19,860
hopes that you want to come to our theater and watch some live podcasts,

19
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:23,540
some live events. We do a lot of things happening. Let's go

20
00:01:28,060 --> 00:01:31,260
to that first story. We're going live from the final frontier.

21
00:01:32,380 --> 00:01:36,140
This was brought to us by space.com and

22
00:01:36,140 --> 00:01:39,660
episode 166 of this Week in Space Touchdown

23
00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:42,980
Live at the International Space Development Conference in

24
00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:46,420
Orlando, where hosts Rod Pyle and Tariq

25
00:01:46,420 --> 00:01:49,660
Malik covered everything from starship explosions

26
00:01:50,150 --> 00:01:53,990
to dark matter mysteries. The duo also answered listener

27
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:57,390
questions about astronaut comms, space camp, memoir,

28
00:01:57,390 --> 00:02:00,790
memories, and the future of human exploration beyond

29
00:02:00,790 --> 00:02:04,590
Earth. As editors of AD, Astra

30
00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:07,990
and Space.com Pyle and Malik continue to make

31
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:11,830
cosmic conversations accessible and fun, reminding us that

32
00:02:11,830 --> 00:02:15,470
all the universe isn't just out there. It's

33
00:02:15,470 --> 00:02:19,270
happening right now, right here at the conference, doing a live

34
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:22,880
show. One of the things we stress is you think outside of the

35
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,720
box. Where can you do your podcast? If you're in a niche and that

36
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,480
niche has conferences or meetups, chances are you can go

37
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,880
to those places and record an episode of your podcast.

38
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,520
Our second story, brought to us by Belive. Cash me on

39
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,320
the camera, cash me outside. How about that? If you're

40
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,120
hitting the go live but not seeing green, Belive has

41
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,840
your back with six tested strategies to make money during your live

42
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,440
streams. From donations and tipping features to paid

43
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,280
shoutouts, affiliate links and exclusive content the

44
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,079
blog breaks down actionable ways for you to turn your audience into

45
00:03:02,079 --> 00:03:05,840
income. Whether you're a seasoned creator or just streaming

46
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,200
for the first time, these tips help make your content work

47
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,040
smarter. So every stream has the potential to pay off. Now,

48
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,840
live streams are something we talk a lot about at the theater here, and

49
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:20,440
streaming live and making money is just one way to do things.

50
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:24,200
We also think when you do a live show in front of a live audience,

51
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,040
the returns can be as much as 250 times greater

52
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:32,280
than if you were just doing a digital version of your show. So think

53
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,120
outside the box again. You can sell sponsorships to live events.

54
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,250
You can put up banners, you can sell the tickets, you can

55
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:43,930
sell merchandise. You can sell bonus events or special

56
00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:47,530
occasion meet and greets after the show. There's a lot of ways to

57
00:03:47,530 --> 00:03:51,170
monetize not just live streaming, but live in real

58
00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:54,450
life. So take a look at these. These are some great tips from belive. You

59
00:03:54,450 --> 00:03:58,090
can apply these to a live show and to a real live

60
00:03:58,090 --> 00:04:00,530
show in front of people, in front of a live audience.

61
00:04:02,290 --> 00:04:06,100
Let's go to our third story tonight. This comes

62
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:09,140
to us from inside radio and this just in.

63
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:14,820
Podcast go prime time. Following the U. S. Military

64
00:04:14,820 --> 00:04:18,140
strike on Iran, political podcasts like the rest is

65
00:04:18,140 --> 00:04:21,380
politics and the rest is politics, US

66
00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:25,500
responded in real time, broadcasting live to

67
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:29,260
millions across YouTube and podcast platforms. With

68
00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:32,820
over 50,000 live viewers and 1.8 million

69
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:36,570
total plays in under 24 hours, the lines

70
00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:40,170
between live news broadcasts and podcasts continue to get

71
00:04:40,170 --> 00:04:43,970
blurred. Viewership on televisions made up nearly a quarter

72
00:04:43,970 --> 00:04:47,810
of all streams, showing that audiences now turn to podcasts

73
00:04:47,810 --> 00:04:51,210
for both breaking news and on demand analysis.

74
00:04:51,850 --> 00:04:55,290
As creators push for the return of Spotify live and other streaming

75
00:04:55,290 --> 00:04:58,690
tools, the future of podcasting might look more like

76
00:04:58,690 --> 00:05:02,460
primetime than ever before. Now this gets into that

77
00:05:02,460 --> 00:05:06,020
gray area of what is a podcast? Is a live stream a podcast?

78
00:05:06,340 --> 00:05:09,340
A lot of us will say it is if you take that audio and then

79
00:05:09,340 --> 00:05:13,100
release it as a podcast. So another way to take a

80
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:16,420
live event live current events and

81
00:05:16,420 --> 00:05:19,980
capitalize on them, especially if you're in the news industry, especially if

82
00:05:19,980 --> 00:05:23,740
you're delivering real time information. If you can live stream that,

83
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:27,550
record it, and then release it as your podcast, you're just, you're knocking

84
00:05:27,550 --> 00:05:29,070
off two birds with one stone.

85
00:05:31,150 --> 00:05:34,830
Our fourth story tonight comes to us from CBS

86
00:05:34,830 --> 00:05:38,590
Austin. We got five years, one mic and a lot of heart.

87
00:05:38,910 --> 00:05:42,190
In Austin, Texas, podcast host and entertainment

88
00:05:42,429 --> 00:05:45,910

89

92
00:05:56,930 --> 00:06:00,650
creatives and community leaders, BATS podcast has become a

93
00:06:00,650 --> 00:06:04,050
local favorite and now a milestone moment.

94
00:06:04,690 --> 00:06:07,810

96
00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:15,210

97
00:06:15,210 --> 00:06:18,050
earned celebration for one of podcasting's most

98
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:22,380
passionate voices. Congratulations, Millie. This sounds like a super

99
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:25,980
fun event. And if you're in Austin, Texas, check out this five

100
00:06:25,980 --> 00:06:29,500

103
00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:41,380

104
00:06:41,380 --> 00:06:44,660
long awaited return live and unfiltered at

105
00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:48,314
Chicago's I.O. fest on July 24,

106
00:06:48,526 --> 00:06:52,040
2025. Born in LA but raised on

107
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,520
Chicago football, comedy and city pride, the

108
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,320
original crew reunites at Candlelight Lincoln park

109
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,080
for a one night only episode packed with laughs and nostalgia.

110
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,720

This one's for you. Another example of a great

113
00:07:15,530 --> 00:07:19,090
live event coming to your town. Go and support these live

114
00:07:19,090 --> 00:07:22,890

115
00:07:22,890 --> 00:07:26,610
months ago just to kind of support our theater, but the amount of

116
00:07:26,610 --> 00:07:29,809
events that are happening across the country, across the world are

117
00:07:29,809 --> 00:07:33,650
insane. If you're in podcasting right now and not thinking about

118
00:07:33,650 --> 00:07:37,476
live shows, you are missing out. Go to poduty.com
