We are back live at the Poduty Live Podcast Theater

in downtown Tarentum, Pennsylvania. We took a couple weeks off

from doing the live element of the show because Pennsylvania had some

terrible storms roll through a couple weeks ago. It

was like a tsunami of wind just came. It was a five

minute storm. It came as fast as it came in. It

was incredible. I had a little bit of damage to the roof of my house.

All that's getting taken care of. But we are back doing the show live the

way it was meant to be. This is a live news podcast about

live news podcasting. So very meta. We got to do this

live just because I am a stickler for

details. We've got five great stories tonight and when I

started this podcast just a month ago, I struggled to find one

or two live podcasting episodes. This is a record. We have

five stories to cover tonight, so let's get right into it.

We're gonna file this first one under Love, Loss and

Stakes through the Heart. This is from WBUR

in Boston on April 29th. This already happened, but it's a good story

to tell you about. WBUR hosted a live

podcast taping of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

once more with Spoilers, the new rewatch show

that dives back into the Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but this time with all

the spoilers revealed. Co hosts Jenny Owen Youngs

and Kristen Russo returned just ahead of the season two

premiere to celebrate iconic Buffy moments,

answer fan questions, and share behind the scenes stories from

their hit podcast. The event also marked the release of

their new memoir, Slayers Every One of Us, which explores

their journey through love, divorce and podcasting. With live

readings, audience interaction and signed books on site.

This was the can't miss night for scoobies and storytellers alike.

The best part? Tickets were $5. So you want to go out a

night on the town? Enjoy a live podcast taping?

Connect with the podcast host. They're also combining this

with a book premiere. $5.

What an event. An example of how podcasts can transform

to live events. Let's go to

our second story. Pouring one out for public service,

the brewbound podcast dives deep into the intersection

of brewing and community. Featuring Leah

Cheston of Right Proper Brewing and Adam

Charnock of High Wire Brewing. Justin shares the

story behind Executive Order Me a Beer, a Pay It Forward

program offering free beers and networking to furloughed federal workers

in D.C. along with the hilarious reality of raising kids who

believe all parents own breweries. Meanwhile,

Charnock reflects on rebuilding High Wire's Asheville location after

damage from Hurricane Helene and describing the hidden challenges behind

the city's seemingly smooth recovery. The

episode blends business insights with personal stories, reminding us

that the beer industry is more than hops and malts. It's about

people and purpose. The show was recorded live

at cbc, a great way to show you how you can take your podcast

live on the road. Get in front of an audience, share your stories with

an audience. Whether it's a trade show, an event, a conference, a meet and

greet, there's plenty of places to do live podcasting, which is what

we're doing here at the Poduty Podcast Theater. Check it out. P O D U

T Y It's our theater for live performance, podcasts, live

events, and so much more. Our third story

tonight, she Said It Best brought to us by

the Gazette Net Podcast host, musician and

storyteller Richelle Rice is bringing her Tell her this to the

Bombix center for Arts and Equity on May 22nd

and 23rd for two nights of live storytelling,

music and multimedia. The podcast, which

elevates women's personal stories without turning them into advice

or expertise, blends live performance, visual arts

and vulnerability in what Rice calls a concert Experience

with Heart. Thursday night will feature local women sharing their stories

alongside live music, while Friday's Headlines

event will spotlight Rice's podcast and her new art

installation video, Strong Like Water. It's not just a

podcast, it's a celebration of womanhood, truth telling, and the

kind of storytelling that leads to healing and connection.

Pay attention to the story. It's a two night event and the headlining

event is the podcast. So if you're not

paying attention to the power of live podcasting, what Rochelle Rice is

doing is capitalizing on that right now fourth

story tonight strawberry shortcake mic

drop this is from fox 23 news out in I believe

Tulsa. The Sharing, Passion and Purpose podcast brought

creative energy to Tulsa with a live event featuring

legendary designer Muriel J. Ferrion,

the original artist behind Strawberry Shortcake, the Care Bears and

the Get Along Gang. Host Nancy Moore curated the night to empower

local women through storytelling, community and inspiration.

Farrionne shared her journey from toy designer to social

media resurgence, relaunching herself at 73

under the name out of Thin Air. With over 100,000

Instagram followers and a growing global fan base,

Farrion's story reminded attendees that it's never too late to tap into

your creative purpose and that some characters really do

live forever. Another example of how live

podcasting can have meet and greets. You can bring in celebrities and

have Q&As and get to meet and interact with the local community.

A very powerful event and it's somebody who grew up in the 80s

and you recognize Strawberry Shortcake Care Bears in the Get Along Gang.

That would have been a great event for somebody in their 40s, 50s

just to hang out and hear the stories behind how all the Strawberry Shortcakes

were made. I know I would have been there. And our final

story Serve Smash and say It Live by Greek City

Live tennis star Nick Kyrgios is

hitting the stage instead of the court this November with a live

Australian tour of his chart topping podcast Good Trouble.

Known for his no holds barred personality, Nick will host

unfiltered conversations with bold culture shaping guests

in five major cities from Brisbane to

Adelaide. The show's raw and honest vibe will

carry over to live events where Nick promises real talk

on creativity, mental health and breaking the mold.

It's podcasting with a Grand Slam twist and fans can join

the waitlist now to snag early events. And we see

these type of events happening all over the place. People who are

celebrities, athletes who have a major draw are able

to fill up theaters and arenas and bring in an audience. So

we know live podcasting has roots. We know that live

podcasting is something the public is going to see. And if

you want to see more live podcasting come to poduty.com p o d u t
