Podcast Meetups, Live Shows, and Music Fests: August 11 Poduty Podcast News Roundup

Welcome to "My Guest Tonight," where we dive into the latest and greatest in the world of podcasting! I'm your host, Jeff Revilla, and on today’s episode, we’re lighting the fuse on six big stories shaking up the podcasting community as of Monday, August 11, 2025. Whether you’re a seasoned podcaster, just thinking about launching your first episode, or a fan who loves the behind-the-scenes world of audio storytelling, there’s something in this episode for you.

This week, we’re celebrating community as local creators gather at our thriving Poduty Podcast Theater just outside of Pittsburgh—the heart of grassroots podcasting in town. Find out why more than 20 creators filled the room for the latest Pittsburgh Podcast Meetup, swapping stories, sharing advice, and yes, enjoying plenty of pizza!

Then, hit the road with us as we tune into the adrenaline-fueled Drivers Project Podcast, recorded live at the famous Knoxville Nationals—a must-listen event for racing fans. We’ll also burn some rubber in Texas where the Smoking Tire Podcast revved up a live Dallas crowd with car culture, comedy, and candid conversations.

But that’s not all—award-winning podcast Ear Hustle stops in Pittsburgh for a deeply moving live show, bringing powerful stories of incarceration and hope to the city’s historic Roxian Theatre. And if music’s your passion, you won’t want to miss how podcaster Philip Reese is turning Music Fest into a can’t-miss livestream event, connecting fans and artists from around the globe.

Finally, Jeff unveils details about the much-anticipated Poduty Live’s Podcast Showdown—the two-day celebration where podcasters will compete, connect, and spark creativity both in person and online, with tons of opportunities to win awards and grow your show.

If you’re curious about the future of podcasting, want inspiration from creators pushing boundaries, or just want the inside scoop on events happening in and around Pittsburgh, this is the episode for you.
