podcast. Let's hear that theme song.

Poduty and the News with Jeff Revilla.

Six stories deep. Let

the podcast thrill ya. Six

stories deep, that's correct. We built this theater that I'm sitting in right now

to do live podcasts for live events. It's Poduty.com

P-O-D-U-T-Y.com and this podcast

specifically supports people who are doing live event

podcasts all over the world. Every week I come to you with about six stories.

I share those links with you in the show notes. You can go to the

website for this podcast is news.p.com

all the links for all these stories

will be in the show notes. Let's go to that first

story tonight. Swipe right on Real Talk.

This comes to us from WGN tv. Are you still

swiping? With no luck, radio star and relationship guru

Kendra G. May have the solution. She's taken her

viral single series to the next level with the Singles

Live app now available on Android and Apple devices.

With millions of viewers turning tuning in for her no nonsense dating

advice, Kendra is proving love might just be one

download away. Now how does this relate to live podcasting? Well, last

week she brought the conversation to the stage. On

July 14, Kendra G. Hosted the live podcast

Taping at the Promontory in Chicago, connecting

singles and sharing stories in real time. If you're tired of the

apps and ready for some unfiltered matchmaking magic,

this event might be your next first date. Very important

lesson here. Businesses who supply services to people

generally have a community of people who are interested in the same thing. So what

Kendra did is she went out and recorded a live podcast,

brought in fans of her app, fans who are single,

looking for relationships, and brought them all together for an event,

connected them for her business through a live podcast event.

So business owners take note. This is one way to monetize

your business. We'll go to our second story

tonight. Another time. Shaq made this podcast. We got Shaq

Vegas and a knockout guest what do you get when you

mix Shaquille o', Neal, Mike Tyson and a room full

of fans in Las Vegas. A wildly entertaining

live taping of the big podcast with Shaq. Of course. This

past Saturday, Shaq and co host Adam Lefkoe brought their

podcast to life at the industrial event space where fans got

an up close experience filled with stories, jokes and

two back to back episodes. Special guest Mike Tyson

kicked things off with colorful tales about boxing, his cannabis

business and life in the spotlight, leaving the crowd

in stitches. The event, which was capped at around 100

attendees, created an intimate vibe despite the star power

on stage. While Tyson got candid about aging and

his gym routines, Shaq lightened things up with the future plans that

include Florida retirement living, minus the caretaking from

his kids. It was a bold, hilarious and unmistakably

Shaq. This is another example of Shaq going out into the world,

into the crowd, connecting with his fans, thinking long term, like what happens

after basketball, after hosting, after commentary, after he's

building this little media empire on the side that he'll be able to go

out for years to come after retirement and just go around,

connect with fans who watched him play, who watched him commentate and

just another way to extend that career.

Our third story tonight, taking it from Vegas to Wall Street.

We got Wall street on stage. The Acquired podcast goes

live with Jamie Diamond Radio City Music

hall turned into the financial world's hottest ticket as the

acquired podcast hosted its annual live show

complete with a special guest, JP Morgan Chase CEO

Jamie Dimon. In an energetic hour long interview,

Dimon broke down the bank's fortress strategy, crediting

interconnected businesses and relentless long term investment for

JP Morgan's edge. While rivals chase short

term games, Dimon says his team looks straightforward through the economic

cycle. And yes, he's teased a secret sauce he

wouldn't spill. But it wasn't all business. Diamond got

personal, sharing that his deepest commitments are to family,

country and his purpose at the bank. Hinting at

the possibility of a future public service role, he left the

crowd buzzing. The evening also featured appearances from

Meredith Cop at Levin, Barry Diller

and high profile guests like Howard Schultz in the audience. For one

night, Wall Street's biggest minds traded the boardroom for the big

stage. And this time you look at the economy, people are maybe it's a little

bit unstable, but here's a way for a bank to have an event with

people, reassure them of what they're doing, their strategies going

forward. Another way for a business to connect with an audience

and showcase their superpowers. What are they doing? Why should

you have confidence in them in the system? We're going from

Mike the Spotlight Turning Podcasts into Live

Events this one comes to us from Route Note Blog, and this is

just an article about live event podcasting. I've been sharing these in our new group

Pittsburgh Podcasters Live on Facebook. If you want to join a group

of local people who are doing live events on this stage,

go over to Facebook Pittsburgh Podcasters Live. I've been sharing stories

like this that I've been finding this one from the Route Note Blog.

Podcasts aren't just or earbuds anymore, they're

hitting the stage. A new guide from Route Note breaks down how

podcasters are turning their shows into dynamic live events,

creating new revenue streams and deeper audience engagement.

Whether it's panel style chats, audience Q&As or full

on multimedia productions, live podcasting opens

up fresh, creative and commercial opportunities. The

article encourages creators to start small, maybe with a free local

venue or a part of an existing event, then scale up

with ticket sales, sponsorships, merchant live streams. It's not just about

the content anymore, it's about creating an experience.

The message is clear if you've got a mic, you've got a stage,

and your audience is ready to show up in person. You've probably

heard me harp about this on the first 15 episodes of this

podcast. This is where podcast is evolving into. If

you're just thinking about staying home and recording an

ad to put into the middle of the show, you're missing out on a tremendous

opportunity to connect with local people, even virtual people. When you

can live stream like you can here at this theater, you're not connecting

on a deeper level. You're only releasing an MP3 file once a week.

These types of events build you an audience, build you a community,

and set you up for long term success. And

if you want to ask me about it, I will show you how an in

person watching your podcast is worth 250

times more than somebody downloading your podcast. I've got the math

and the receipts to prove it. Story number five

404 Media plugs live event

Independent journalism meets underground vibes as 404

Media gears up for its first ever live event on July

30th in Los Angeles. Hosted at the DIY hacker space

Rip Space in the Arts District, the night will kick off

with a live podcast investigating surveillance tech used by

ICE with a hyperlocal focus on tools active in la.

They'll also dive into independent reporting, audience Q and A,

and maybe even a live reveal of an editor's

Instagram algorithm. After the deep dives, the mood

shifts to party mode with free drinks, a set by DJ AV

and plenty of good conversation. Tickets are free for subscribers

and $10 for the general public or just subscribe for

instant access. It's shaping up to be a bold mix of journalism,

tech and nightlife and you're all invited.

Another community example. Setting a stage to interact with

the community, share ideas, talk about journalism. Another

thing to do. I believe it's July. It's on the screen, isn't

it? Oh, July

30th coming up. July 30th. If you're in the LA area, check

it out at Rip Space and our

final podcast story Live Story of the Night. This

is a very interesting story. This is a podcast who Everybody

on the podcast is also a musician. So they put together this

crazy event in Portland. Triple Check leveled up with

a live show that was more than just a podcast. It was

a full blown fan powered celebration. Hosted at

the Alberta Rose Theater, the packed house turned into a community

of joy, games, sax solos and good vibes.

The event was months in the making and marked a major milestone

for the host, especially for one who called it their first big live

show in over a decade. Listeners

can catch the first half of the performance on the public triple click feature

feed while Max Fund members get access to the

full 2 hour experience complete with bonus content.

Behind the scenes magic. It was a big night in the

Rose City, proving once again that podcasting isn't just

for earbuds anymore. It's for the stage, the

spotlight and standing ovations. Just a

really cool spin on what it means to take your podcast live.

In this case, these hosts had other talents and they brought

all those talents to the stage. They played games, you can see they had a

wheel where they were spinning and playing games, singing songs.

It was a packed house. Congratulations to Triple Click Podcast.

That's exactly what we're trying to build out here in Western Pennsylvania. We're just outside

of Pittsburgh, we have a theater space, cameras surrounding us

so we can live stream all the action to the
