From Conan to Dua Lipa: Celebrity Podcasts Take Center Stage Live

Hey everybody. Welcome to Poduty and the News for Saturday, September

27th. I've got a special guest joining me today, Maria

Daniels, all the way from parts unknown, Ohio. We're

going to cover six stories about live new pod, live news

podcasting. Let's hear that theme,

Sam.

The only live news podcast about podcasting live

from the stage. Maria Daniels, welcome in person,

in person. I am happy to be back. I am, I'm super

thrilled to be here at Poduty. The

first, the first guest ever on Poduty and the News last week and then this

week we had some other events scheduled. They didn't pan out, but Maria was still

in town this weekend and we're able to do this show live. We got a

lot of feedback on last week's show where people were glad it wasn't

just me anymore reading the news. So like I said, we're gonna have a

rotating panel of guests popping in. Whoever's available,

we'll have different people show up and help me carry me through

these six news stories. And we got stories from all over the place.

Conan o' Brien the UK has a podcast list of the

best podcasts to see live. We got new news from YouTube,

Dua Lipa. We have the toy book convention. And

I like to say our Kansas, the R Kansas traveler

is going to bring us neighbors upstairs. Yeah. So

we have six stories and this is Maria's second time

to. To Pittsburgh officially. Or. Yeah, Yeah, I think so. I

think, I think that's the only times I've been here, actually. I was trying to

think. Yeah, I think it's only to come here. So you're, you are the destination

Poduty in Pittsburgh. It's the number one reason to come to Pittsburgh. For

podcasters, the.

Any plans or anything exciting while you're in Pittsburgh or anything that ever caught your

attention about the city? What we do in every city we go

into is basically hit all the coffee shops. We've already been to two today,

so that's true story. It's only 10am so it is only

10am off to a great start. And, and the Vault Coffee

Shop. If you find that, if you're in the area where Maria's from, check it

out. The Vault Coffee Shop. Is that the full name? It's the Vault Cafe. The

Vault Cafe. Vault Cafe. They. They also have some baking

going on there. You have? Yeah, we've got, we've, we've. They're. They're bacon. They're baking

hardcore this morning, texting me non stop about it. So,

so let's go to that first story. And one of the

reasons we're doing this new show, Coffee with Poduty and the crew is,

is just a hangout. You know, we, we do things all week long. We're going

to work, we're doing jobs, we're consulting, we're busy.

And sometimes we try to record shows during the weeknights. It's pretty common. But what

do we do on the weekend? We got nothing to do Saturday morning. So, you

know, if you're home watching, if you're here in the theater, pull up your coffee

or your drink from your local coffee shop. If it's the Vault Cafe or down

the street, we have Harvest Moon coffee and chocolates.

Absolutely. And their coffee is amazing. And I am a coffee snob. I am.

And so if I find a coffee shop that I'm telling you is amazing. Harvest

Amino is great. It's a great shop. Yeah. Side note, Maria walked

through the coffee shop real quick and some of the chairs were out of order.

Yeah. And her management skills kicked in and she was like, she

lined the chairs for the coffee sh. It's hard to get out of that. Right.

It's just like in your mind automatically. Yeah.

Oh, very good. Thanks to all the viewers watching, either in the theater or at

home. Let's go to that first story

from the UK Podcasters hit the roads from the Radio Times.

And we're kicking off tonight with a look across the pond. Because UK

live podcast scene is absolutely booming in

2025. From comedy duos like Two Pints,

Podcast Live and Woof and Owl to fan favorite

shows like Help I Sextexted My Boss, the Girls Bathroom,

and Off menu podcasters are packing theaters and turning

live tours into major events. Even

the wittering Whitehalls are hitting the stage, proving that the golden

age of podcasting isn't just about downloads. It's about building

real connections with audiences in person. The UK

is showing us how podcast tours can become marquee

cultural events. And the thing I liked about this,

this article was almost like a billboard 100 of

podcasts to go see. It's just crazy to see that

there's that many that we get. We're having list listicles

about going to see live podcasts. Well, and I think we're going to see that

more and more. Even just the last couple of weeks, we've been discussing this. Like

there's, there's shows I didn't, I hadn't even heard of until you put them on

there. Like, what? And then I have them up. I'M like, oh, my gosh. But

one of the things that's, you know, kind of stuck out to me is

this, what like we're doing right now, this, this really, this big push

on making it a live event, that it's not just, you know, somebody,

you know, that's turned their basement into a studio speaking, which was nothing

wrong with that. Don't come at me. But, you know, it's also becoming a little

bigger. Right. It's becoming like a destination where people are coming and watching. And I

think that's a really cool thing we're starting to see. Yeah. That's why we built

the space. I think that there's a place for podcasters to perform their

shows live of any level. And we do joke. I joke a lot because I

still record in my basement. Yeah. But what's the. How do I go from my

basement to a large theater or Madison Square Garden?

There's no middle ground. There's no journey to get there. They're not just going to

start plucking people out of their mom's basement and putting them on stage in Madison

Square Garden. We've got to work our way up to performing in front of these

big audiences. And some of these people who have already established themselves

over the years and years of podcasting, they're doing that.

They're way ahead of us. And they're filling theaters and arenas and, and taking their

shows on tour. I just love that they had a list like, here's the

top 10 ones you got to go see. Absolutely. No. And I think they, I

mean, they intrigued me. I thought they sounded really interesting.

Let's go to story number two from Inside

Radio. This one is Conan Goes Live Again.

Conan o' Brien is bringing his podcast to the stage with a live

taping at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles on

October 5th. Fans and SiriusXM

subscribers will get to see Conan. Sona

Movsisane and Matt Gurley sit

down with a surprise guest. Plus a reunion with Conan's old late

night band led by Jimmy Vivino. The live

show will first drop exclusively for serious podcast subscribers

on October 15th, then hit Conan O' Brien radio on

the 22nd before finally rolling out on all podcast feeds

and YouTube. It's a tiered podcasting event at its

finest. Live laughs now, staggered

releases later. I always a line, always tries to punch it up

at the end there. But, you know, here's Conan, a

huge traditional media person. I mean, he's one of the,

got to be one of the top 10 great late night hosts, talk show hosts

of all time. And where is he pivoted to? He does a YouTube show, he's

doing a podcast, he's self producing these giant

events by himself. And I think one of the things that hit

the news recently was Stephen Colbert was getting canceled on CBS.

And to do his show takes 200 people

to produce the Late show with Stephen Colbert. And you look at what

Conan's doing, he probably has a team of five, six people,

maybe some writers, maybe 10 people putting these things

together and producing a quality show on par with

CBS and ABC for what, 1

100th of the. Or 1 50th of the price? Well, and,

and I think, I think you hit the nail on the head because I think

what Conan's basically doing is resurrecting Late Night, but in a more

tangible way, a more realistic way where you and I. It's something

that, that's reachable. Right. Because, you know, it's something that to be able to

grow something to the point of, you know, hiring five people or 10

people, it seems a lot more tangible than 200 people. Right.

So I think that kind of, it gives us a Runway to

say, okay, well this is something that, like you said, go from the basement to

kind of that mid ground, you know, is, is tangible. It's a tangible,

realistic, you know, uphill from here for

podcasting. Yeah. If you look at what celebrities and famous people, actors

are doing, they're. They're building what we're building, but in reverse. They've already

established the fame they have, the audience that's following them

now, they're taking that to places to have these real life connections with

them. So they've already got it and they're working backwards. We're building up to that.

So hopefully we meet at some point in the middle and you see shows like

this popping up everywhere where people can produce like a Tom Green show. Twenty

years ago, Tom Green was probably him and two people in his basement producing a

cable television, which Tom Green. Was hilarious, I do want to note that. But

no, I mean, I think it's right. And you're actually seeing that. I mean, I

know you're in the marketing world too, so you're seeing that with everything. You're

seeing big brands that are kind of bringing a lot of their commercials and

their all that stuff down to like a realistic, you know,

recorded commercial that. Have you seen the Apple commercial?

Have you seen the Apple commercial with the Apple computer where it's like two guys

in a dorm room? Have you seen that? One, I have not. Okay, well, it's

a pretty cool commercial and there's two reasons it's cool. Number one, it's funny and

number two, it's, it looks very low key, like

we could record it. And I think you're seeing a lot of big brands do

that with marketing. And I think in the podcasting world you're seeing the same thing

with shows. Like you said, these big people are scaling it back to

this mid ground and that is somewhere that as we can kind of aspire to,

kind of get to that. Like again, maybe we'll meet in the middle. I think

that's a cool thing. Yeah. When you self produce and at the level that Conan's

doing, there's no middle people, there's no agents, there's no

managers, producers, executives. You've cut out

all that bloat that makes something expensive and you're

bringing a product directly to the public. Like, yeah, who's keeping all

that money? Conan is. And he can reinvest it into his team and

building and getting to events of this scale and Magnus. And it's more

authentic too. And I think that's what, you know, consumers are asking

for, listeners are asking for, is that authenticity. Let's go

to story number three. And I. This isn't

necessarily a live podcast, but I didn't

do the show on YouTube last week, but YouTube has made some announcements. And

so this week we are live on YouTube and we will continue to be live

on YouTube because it looks like YouTube's going to push live

a little bit more. And this comes directly from the YouTube blog.

And YouTube just announced some of its biggest updates yet for live streaming,

giving creators more tools to connect and grow. New features include

the ability to stream in both horizontal and vertical formats

at the same time. AI that automatically turns the best live

moments into shorts and even interactive mini games to keep

audiences engaged. Creators will also get access to Ask

Studio, an AI chatbot that summarizes live chats and delivers

insights for future streams. With deeper community connection,

new monetization options, and built in discovery, YouTube is

making live streaming more powerful and more profitable

than ever. And you know, we're both in the marketing and we know

that when YouTube says they're doing something, that's probably the thing you

should do at this moment, right? Absolutely. Well, and as

we know, well, I don't know if everybody knows, but as we know, Google owns

YouTube Now. And so that has obviously put a different focus,

you know, on that brand, I think, as a whole, and how it integrates across

the web. But then, you know, when you're looking at YouTube specific, I really like

the. The part like the Ask Studio, because if

you've ever been on a chat on YouTube, you get

constant spammed, like frog emojis. Just random stuff.

Right. And so I like the Ask Studio because basically that can be kind of

like a therapist for you now to say, hey, whenever you're, you know, your

viewers were spamming you with frog emojis, this is what they really meant by that.

It gives you a little bit more, you know, insight of what's going on.

Yeah, I heard a stat on. It's Joe

Polizi and Robert Rose's podcast. This old marketing

and YouTube. 50% of YouTube viewership is now

on big screens. It's not just mobile. People are streaming at home

on their televisions. And I think

just based on those numbers, that makes YouTube the largest streaming

service in the world by far, over Netflix and Hulu

and Disney. And what that means is YouTube is a place

for creators, and creators have access to this portal that's the

largest streaming service on the planet. This is the

time to strike. If you're thinking about doing a live show, if YouTube's saying, hey,

we're going to push more live shows, why? Well, one, if people are engaged,

guess what? They interrupt your show with. Absolutely. Ads. They're going to play ads

while you're doing live streaming. They're going to cut in the winner up, there's another

ad. They make a little bit more money. You watch a little bit more, they

make a little bit more money. So pushing live streams with ads back,

it's a good format for. For YouTube to build on. Absolutely.

Well, and I think, you know, whenever you're talking about, you know, YouTube

themselves are asking you to use their platform like this, that gives you a good

insight on what you should be at least trying to do, because they've obviously put

time, energy, and money into kind of putting

this focus on things. And so anybody that's using these things that they're trying

to push out there, they're going to get an uptick in, you know, viewability,

you know, automatically just because of that. And so I really like this because, you

know, basically YouTube is telling Twitch to hold my beer, because Twitch has been where

everybody has been streaming to, you know, in the podcasting world.

Yeah. Now the Facebook deletes your posts 30 days after. Or seven.

Seven or 30 days after. I. I think it is seven days now. Yeah.

So forget it. Facebook. Yeah. You don't want us live streaming in there anyway, so.

Sorry. Yeah, sorry. We're moving to YouTube. Yeah,

we're going to YouTube. One other thing was the,

I just haven't, I haven't seen the tools yet. The one thing that does worry

me is, is some of these. I mean, AI is baked into everything.

In some cases, AI tends to make more work for you

otherwise. Other times it just gives you like Captain Obvious

answers. So hopefully, hopefully there's a little bit in here that,

that their AI gives us that you're not going to get,

you know, just from experience. Yeah, well. And as we've seen with a lot of

things that launch out in AI at the beginning, it does

leave a little, a little to be desired. But the more

we use it and the more feedback and information that YouTube gets and

YouTube's AI platform gets, you know, I do think it'll get better and

better. We've seen that with other things. Yeah, yeah. I mean, if they, they,

if, if, if the last five years that they spent

destroying the definition of the word podcast is any indication of how

much they want podcasters do video. This story and these

updates are part of that journey because they've, they've really decimated

what it means to produce a podcast. Oh, absolutely. It's not just an MP3 file

distributed through an RSS fee to your, your app, your aggregator app.

YouTube wants podcasts to be video. And they're telling you now,

hey, we're going to kind of give this a little bit of a bump if

you do live shows. Yeah, you get, you get, you get a reward. Yeah,

you get rewarded for getting on video, smiling, talking to people,

showing up at the duty, doing your, you know, your show live. I feel like

that would help people if they just came here and did the show. Just do

it. Yeah, just come here. Very simple business model. We'll save that for another show.

One of my favorite things is learning about celebrities who read.

And Dua Lipa checks out of the library. This comes to us

from the Spotify newsroom. Pop star Dua Lipa swapped

the stage lights for reading lamps as her service 95

Book Club podcast went live at the New York Public Library.

Teaming up with Spotify, Dua sat down with Booker

Prize long listed author David

Sally. I'm glad you get to say all these last names that I don't.

For everybody who's ever been mentioned on the show, I do apologize. Last

name pronunciations are not my thing. So

David Salleh to talk about his novel Flesh

blending pop culture with literary prestige in front of 300

fans, press and book lovers. The conversation was smart,

funny, and deeply engaging, followed by fan submitted questions that

showed her how her book club has become a global community.

The full episode drops in October, proving that duo can headline

a stadium or a library with the same star power.

I had never heard of Dua Lipa before, ever. No. Because I was like, who

the freak is that? I had to like, Google it, apparently. I don't know, I've

been in my basement too long, I guess. I'm not sure why, but. So I

had like zero, like less than zero knowledge going into this. I didn't even know

who this person was. But I think this is a cool combination

kind of that, that book club meets, you know, live podcast. I think

that's a cool comic because, I mean, there are. I'm a book lover. I love,

I love reading and love books, and there's a lot of book lovers out there.

And, you know, if you kind of combine those worlds, I think that is a

cool concept. Yeah. She just announced the show a few months ago. I remember.

I think we picked it up on an earlier episode of Duty and the News.

And again, like, if here's a star who has a following,

she has another passion. Some of her fans who love her music

probably also read. It's a fair assumption, I would say. At least some of them.

So now if you're a fan of Dua Lipa, if you're a fan of the,

you know, what she produces, the books that she likes may also

be in line with your taste. Here's a podcast sharing some other

things outside of music that you can share with a celebrity or a pop

star. And now she can take that to the New York Public Library, do a

show for 300 people, interview the authors, and

share all that with her community. Yeah, well, and to me, like,

again, I had to, like, study who she was as a whole because I had

never heard of her. But it almost seems like she's just going into her quiet

girl era. You know, she's going to. She's like, you know what? I have done

all the things and, you know, now I'm just feeling like, let's read, let's talk

about the things we read. Let's do, you know, let's do this on a different

level. And I love that she's able to kind of take that, you know,

fandom and turn that into a little bit of a luxury

time. Right. Let's sit down and let's read, let's talk about this. I mean, I

just love that. Yeah, I'm doing 100 stadiums a year. I need a break. Exactly.

That's what it speaks to me like. I mean, I was just like, you know

what? Go you. Because I love that. It's. She's going into her.

Her best life ever, her luxury queen era. And she is,

you know, decided to do this whole. Whole book thing, and I love it.

All right, let's go to story

number five. Wait, story number four.

This one. No, wait, let's go.

That's. How do we count? We're on page three. Two stories

per page. Page three. Story number five. This is one

that we've talked about before on the show. This is Kid Belts versus Nerds

Go Live. This comes to us from the Toy business forum on

toybook.com at next year's Toy Business Forum in

Nuremberg, live podcasting takes center stage as

Carol Rapp of Spiel essen hosts Kidalts vs.

Nerds. The session promises to dive into how adult collectors and

playful enthusiasts are reshaping the global toy industry,

all in front of a live audience. As part of a week packed with

AI talks, retail insights, and trend forecasts, this

live recording adds an interactive spark, proving that even in

the business of toys, podcasting has become a powerful way

to connect communities and capture the moment. And we touched

on a different story similar to this last week, where

if you have an interest, there's probably a convention or a

gathering of people of your similar interest. So this is a toy

podcast. What are these toy conventions doing? They're

hiring podcasters to be part of the entertainment on the main stage and

in this one. Kidalts versus Nerds. I like that. I never

heard the term kiddo. I think that's hilarious. But I mean, to me, when I

read this, the first thing that came to my mind is a bunch of, know,

40 year olds fighting over the limited edition Funko Pops. I had never

heard of Funko Pops before podcasting before. Dua Lipa. Well,

yeah, before that now. But no, you know, there's several of podcasters that

we know that behind them is just like an entire wall of Funko Pops. And

I had never heard of them before, but, you know, so I mean, maybe they

need to kind of look that show up. They may be like Tim and Jeff.

Yeah, exactly, exactly. That was exactly the ones that I was speaking of

because I'd never heard of them before. And you know, I think that, like you

said, that really shows that no matter what your hobby, your interest, whatever, like,

you would be surprised. Like maybe you think you're like the only person, the only

person that loves whatever it is, you're probably not. And there

probably is some type of, like you said, convention meetup, something going

on that's related to that. Yeah. And you see this instead of,

you know, every convention needs to entertain their guests.

They always have. After parties, there's usually a vendor that sponsors

the party. There's always something happening. But during the convention

now, sometimes there's warm up bands that before the main stage

takes the stage, they'll hire magicians or music

acts, cover bands. What you're seeing now is part of that

main session is a podcast being recorded. So

these conventions are looking for podcasting entertainment, are looking for new

voices. They're looking for voices who will amplify what they're

producing. So if you go there and record a show and then release it to

your fans, that could be another thousand, two thousand people that

that conference reaches for zero advertising dollars. So you

look into your industry. What's. What are people producing that's similar to what

you're doing and where can you fit in that? Absolutely. Well, absolutely. And I

think also, you know, really kind of we talked about this last week with a

lot of the conventions and stuff, people are expecting more. Like

there's a lot of competition in that convention, you know, space,

and now people are expecting more. So they keep trying to like one up each

other. Right. So it's like, well, we've got a magician this year. You know, everybody's

like running to that one. So it's, I think it's a really cool concept because,

you know, if you've gone to conventions, you know how terrible they can be sometimes

and you know, nobody wants to do the trust fall anymore. We're done with that.

No more trust falls. Let's bring on the live podcasting. Very

good. Our last live podcasting story,

the Upstairs Neighbors bring the laughs and the community

sources the AR Kansas Traveler, Arkansas Traveler.

At the University of Arkansas, a comedy duo behind the Upstairs

Neighbor Neighbors podcast, Maya Umatoto

Gorman and Dom Roberts lit up the Verizon Ballroom

with their signature mix of humor and heart. This live show

wasn't recorded for the podcast feed. It was all about

the in person experience and crowd work, the

Disneyland debates and even local food recommendations like

Famous Steven Special. Like the Famous Steven Special.

Went to look that one up. I don't even know. Yeah. But beyond the laughs,

Maya and Dom focused on connection, asking students to

introduce themselves to their neighbors and reminding everyone that sometimes

all it takes is one thing in common to spark community and

a little different from what we talk about is recording these podcasts for,

you know, release at a later date. This was just a fan experience. This was,

hey, we're going to be here on the stage. Let's just talk and hang out.

We don't have to make it a thing. Let's make it special that you're here

tonight. Yeah, well, and it, you know, it's really that pure,

kind of had to be here energy. And I think that there's a lot

of benefit to that, that, that felt, you know, that fear of fomo. Right,

fomo. People are going to be afraid of missing out on it. So

there is some, you know, some marketing genius to that. So,

you know, I'm sure they'll end up releasing some things, but, you know, to have

some of them that are just like for the audience only, you know, really starts

to build that momentum. I like that. Yeah, a lot of fun. A great way

to connect with the community without any expectation. Just, hey, let's show

up, let's talk and hang out and let's see if we can make the world

a better place. Go out, introduce yourself to your neighbors. I've lived on my street

for almost 10 years now. I know

two neighbors names, so I. Feel like, I feel like that's a challenge. Like you

need to go around and, and introduce yourself. Hi, Jeff. They're gonna be like, are

you new here? Like, no, I've lived here for 10 years. Yeah.

So I'm gonna take the upstairs neighbor's advice and I'm gonna, I'm gonna introduce some

people, introduce myself to some people. I still want to know what the

Steven Special is now, because I didn't look that up. Now I want to know.

It's in. In our Kansas. All right, well, so make them look it up

and let us know. See what else we got here tonight. We got

next week, next Saturday, after we record Poduty and the News. In the morning,

we have the Pittsburgh Podcast Meetup, which we're live streaming now. October

4, 2025, 6:00pm if you're in

the city of Pittsburgh, stop in at 6. I feed everybody

pizza, drinks, all kinds of carbohydrates. And

then we about 7 o' clock, we will go live and we'll broadcast

the live Q, Q and a portion of the Pittsburgh Podcast

Meetup. We've got padoodi shirts, just

10 bucks. I just got them in last week. If you need a shirt or

if you're here in the audience tonight, everybody gets a free shirt to take home

with them. That's A special when you come to Poduty and the crew. Early

bird shirts, $10. Where do you get a $10 t shirt at

Poduty? Yeah, we got some upcoming shows I want to tell you about.

Anime on the Allegheny. October 3rd, next Friday, brand

new show. It's the first time they're going to run it live in front of

an audience. They're talking anime, all kinds of anime. The only thing I

can never say is Akira or Vampire Hunter D. It's the only two animation

shows that's. That's more. Everybody else is like, I don't know any of them.

Our favorite, a three timer, a three peat. The Crips and Corks are coming back

October 11th for Haunted Pittsburgh Terror,

Laughs and booze. It's an adult show. There was a BYOB ticket.

It's a great store, great podcast. They're going to tell you ghost stories

from Pittsburgh and they pair those stories with a bottle of

wine. So they'll have a special wine prepared for the episode

and you'll be able to drink, laugh and Yin's won't want to

miss the show. I know. I thought at first I was like, oh, play on

words there. And when I first met them, I couldn't remember their name.

I met them at a Pittsburgh podcast meetup and I called them

boozy ghosts. And I think boozy ghost might be sticking because

now I saw. I love it. We

got the Bird Cave right across the river from New Ken. They're. They're originally New

Ken. They do a sports show here in Pittsburgh and

they have a. There. So we talk about combining your podcast with

events. Yep. There was a high school reunion next Saturday for

Valley. They're from Valley. They're coming to town and in the morning

they're going to do a live show as a kind of a pre game

to. To the. To the home or the reunion. Well,

and that becomes memories too, right? You know, because. Because then you're able to record

that. You're able to, you know, you know, touch base with a bunch of people

and you know how it goes at reunions. I can get quite funny.

Yeah. So apologies to anybody at the real

reunion if a bunch of people show up

who pre gamed a little bit too much. It could happen.

There is a BYOB ticket available for that one. Nailed

it. Motherhood podcast coming up November 8th with Tamara. Met her

at a podcast meetup and we booked a show. Looking forward to this

one. This is a. I believe it's a season one wrap up or a season

two kickoff. So we're just getting things going. And a

first event, first time on the main stage is going to be a great show.

We have the humorous. This is a 2026. Just a little foreshadowing.

I think they're in like Vermont or New Hampshire. They're

coming down in 20. In March or April.

May. Check poduty.com March, April or May. Well, yeah. March, April,

May. And of course, my special guest today, all the way from

parts unknown, Ohio, Maria Daniels. Thank you so much,

Maria. Tell everybody if they want to connect with you, they want to visit your
