Are you ready? Ready for what?
Oh wait, are we, we're doing it? Are we doing the show?
I've got just one question for you. What time is it?
What time is it?
The only live news podcast about
podcasting from the stage.
The only live news podcast about
podcasting from the stage.
The only live news podcast about podcasting from the
stage. I've got an incredibly special guest joining me today, Brian
Ortega. Brian, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me,
Jeff. I'm very excited to be a part of this
awesome Poduty and the news
broadcast. It almost rolls right off the tongue. It's hard to imagine
that you're not even saying it.
Brian, tell us a little bit about yourself. We were having a little witty pre
show banter where just an impressive automotive
career, a 12 year career already. But some of the things
you accomplished at where you work in Valley Hi Toyota. Maybe
we'll cut in a little commercial right here. But tell us a little bit about
Brian Ortega and some of the things you do in automotive. Hey, what's going
on guys? I'm Brian Ortega from California,
home of the World Series champ, Los Angeles Dodgers.
I've been like Jeff said, I've been at Valley Hi Toyota for about
12, 13 years and just
took Valley High Kia, kind of doing the creative stuff there as well
last year. So some interesting times. We do a
lot of things, community events. Actually this Monday I'll be
picking up some turkeys and delivering to a homeless shelter
and you know, just always trying to come up with some creative content
that's not boring. You know, we both work in
automotive. It's kind of how we've connected over the years and we've shared the stage
a few times and just had always having a good time,
always joking, always riffing off each other and you
know, trying to push. I don't know if we push each other, but we share
ideas a lot of times like, hey, how'd you do this? How'd you do that?
And it's. Automotive is a great community for
networking and, and just meeting other people and we're part of a
great community that, that shares ideas and if, if you have a problem,
you know, chances are somebody's going to pop in and help you. And that's, that's
really the automotive community that we're part of. Yeah,
it's, it's really cool, you know, and we have our, you know, Nathaniel
Grecklick who's you know, one of the, the top, the big three like us,
within us and, and then we are able to, you know, we
have a whole different community where we all, like you said, share ideas,
come and banter, maybe push each
other to strive even harder to
produce some great stuff. So awesome. We've got some
stories coming your way, and we started this podcast as a way to, you know,
bring people together and talk about what's happening in the world
of live podcasting. And o', Brien with some of our stage experience,
some of our speaking experiences, I think we got six great stories in here. I
even snuck in one automotive one. But we started this podcast
because these events are happening. They're happening all over the country, all over the world,
and they're probably happening in your backyard. You may even not even be aware
of it. This is our 31st episode already,
and if I tell you we have six stories in every show, that's
180 stories about live podcasting that we've covered
in the last, what, four or five months that we've been on the air here.
And it's not growing. It's getting faster and faster.
I have a backlog of stories that we can't even get to. I started
publishing them where people were talking about the future of podcasting as live.
And I'm just so proud to be a part of this, showcase, this theater
what's possible, but not only show you what we're doing here in Pittsburgh,
but show you that this is possible in your own backyard.
There's bars and libraries and restaurants
and small community centers that are looking for activities.
And if you have a podcast or you have some sort of entertainment
mindset, there's a place for you, I think, to perform wherever you're
at. And now, without
further ado, let me grab the clicker. Let's get into
that first story. We got three
Amigos, three grand and three kids to Disney,
Cork City's fan favorite show. The Other Three Amigos podcast
proved that live podcasting can move mountains, raising
over €3,000
at their first ever live event and sending three sick kids to
Disneyland parks. Held at Metropole Hotel before the
FAI cup final, the night brought supporters together
for laughs, football talk, and pure community spirit.
The charity's chairman said the donations will fully fund three kids trips next
year. And the podcasters say this is just the beginning of more
charity collaborations. It's the perfect example how passionate
fan base plus an in person experience can create a
real, measurable impact. And this is one of those stories
that almost right out of our playbook. Like, we love
live events. We think live events elevate podcast shows. But
here's podcasters. These three amigos that brought a community
together to do something good for the community. They had
a little fundraiser and they were just able to have an
amazing night and experience that you can't get when you just download an MP3
file to listen to a podcast. You're able to I think experience this in
real time and have this community style
event where you're doing good, you're giving back. What were
some of your takeaways, Brian? Well, I'm just interested
to see where they're from calling themselves amigos. But
it's not Mexico, that's for sure. And if it
was in America, I don't know if 3,000, what
euros or maybe equals to maybe 4,000
if in California that get them to, to
Disneyland. But that's the point, right? Yeah, I think
he gets one kid into Disney for $3,000.
Exactly. But you know what, it just goes to show, you know
when you put community together with, with the purpose,
I mean sky's the limit on what you can do and if you can
get buy in from, from locals and just build a
collaboration, I mean it's, it's, it's good because it's, it's a win
win type of situation. Yeah, you get to get out
of a house, your money that you paid for the ticket gets to go towards
something that's very important that gives an experience to a kid that may
not get that experience. And you're with people who also
care about the community. You're fill, you're part of an audience of
charitable people who care about these causes and
you get them. You actually get, you get to get out of your house, get
off the doom scrolling and sit with people
in your, in your neighborhood, in your community. That's just a great way I think
to bring people together and, and to do something good.
I, I really think this is, is going to be a model,
you know, to, to get people out there in, in
for a purpose and to do great things. So yeah,
kudos to them. It's a, it's a great idea.
Awesome. Let's go to story
number two. If you host it, they will come and they'll
bring friends. This comes to us from Frank
Rassiopi on Medium. A massive roundup of
live podcast success stories is putting one myth to
Reese to rest. You don't need a giant audience
to pack a room. Just a great concept and the courage to try
it. From the horror comedy show, another effing horror
podcast. Selling out spooky weekend events to speak
fests, turning Funeral museums into podcast
playgrounds to massive arena shows like kill Tony
and Dimension 20 dominating Madison Square Garden's calendar.
Live podcasting has officially gone mainstream. Even
small indie shows are thriving at hotels, nightclubs and
conventions, proving that niche or niche topics can
attract super fans who become long term listeners.
With milestone tours, crossover events, and ticket prices
climbing as high as $500, the
message is clear. Live podcasting isn't just viable,
it's one of the fastest ways to grow an audience in
2025. We'll let you take this one first,
Brian. Wow. I watched that
Kill Tony on, on Netflix. And for them to
fill a stadium, you know, with
a bunch of people, it's, it's huge. Right? Because it's, it's
now like live ComicCon, right? You're, now, you're doing some,
some things with a, a particular niche audience. I don't know what
niche. Niche. Where are we gonna go? I don't know.
Yeah, but I think that's a great idea. I mean, there's, there's, it's a cultural
shift, right? And, and we're kind of seeing that this is
super normal. What's the other one with Jason Baitman and, and
those guys? Smartless. Smartless, yeah. And they're,
they're traveling around and you have
everybody sitting in the audience and, and partaking in a podcast.
It's crazy. Yeah, they did, they did a tour. I think they even have an,
a Hulu documentary about their first tour for Smart List. And
we did a story a couple weeks ago. They're coming to the Hollywood bowl,
which I think is close. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, I think I'm gonna go.
I think I'm gonna attend that. That'd be great. And,
and one of the things that we talk about here is when you see a
podcast live, you get a whole nother perspective about that
show. You get to see how they react to their fans, how they react
in the moment, how they think about questions they're asked. You don't
see any of that when you just listen to a podcast passively in the
background or on your morning commute, you really
get a whole new level of understanding and appreciation
being in the room with them. You may listen to it and feel like you're
in the room, but when you're actually in the room, it becomes so
surreal. Like I am sharing this moment with these people,
creating this one of a kind entertainment experience
that'll never be recreated again to be in a live podcast.
They don't do that show next week. They do a Whole new show. So you
get to experience history. You get to experience one moment in time with
that show. It, I think it just brings you closer to those
hosts. Well, and the fact that, I mean, we started you were looking
at the grand scale, but if we're going to talk about, like yours is the
perfect example, it's somewhere that's small, that's, you
know, cozy. And I mean, if they're taking
nightclubs or, or, you know, coffee houses or something like that,
and then you're bringing like minded individuals in there to,
you know, to participate. Yeah, you're, like you said, it's, it's totally
different every single time. It's not like you're watching a, an
actual event or something that's been staged, like whatever they're working
on. It's, it's in real time. Yeah, you get to see
the art created in the, in the moment. And it's. And not even though my
business model is similar to comedy clubs, a comedian
is working on new material all the time and trying new things out, but they're
going to refine an act over the course of many, many nights,
and that act becomes more and more part of their show.
Podcasting is in the same model where we have these clubs now, like
the Paduti Podcast Theater. But when you see that show,
like Brian said, it's only that moment, it's
only that episode and it's, it's a different
thing. Like it's not, you're not going to see that again. If you go follow
them on the road to Cleveland or Baltimore, that's going to be a completely
different show again. So the live podcasting is just such
this unique art form that's really gaining traction
mainstream. I mean, this might give me an
idea to do something because I've talked to
management about doing something because we're always talking sports and you
know, we do the fantasy stuff and why not do a podcast
at the dealership? I mean, we got some space.
We didn't have some cars for a while for the Toyota, if you guys
know, you know, but you got some space there. And
we definitely do some type of podcast. I mean, we do our car
giveaway and actually I've done that before where we've, we've
invited some finalists to the dealership and
this was years ago, but in the similar vein, they're
could be something done like this. Definitely. Yeah. You could bring
in Ohtani and his translator and talk about sports
betting. There it is.
There's the jealousy from a Pittsburgh Pirates fan. There's A Pirates
fan who hasn't had a super or we
haven't even had a chance to go to the world series since 91. So yeah,
really, I'm just bitter and old and jealous.
So let's see if this next story gets us in a little bit of trouble.
We're going to Life After Cars
starts with a live show. The hit podcast the War on
Cars took its message on the road, ironically
to San Diego last Sunday for a live show at the Adams
Avenue Theater celebrating the release of their new book, Life
After Cars. Hosted by Bike San Diego and the
Bicycle Coalition of San Diego county, the event doubles
as a fundraiser to support safer, more accessible car free and car
like transportation in the city. With a 5pm bar
opening and a room full of urbanists, bike advocates and
city planning fans, it's poised to be both a community
meetup and a rally for rethinking how cities move.
All proceeds go towards making San Diego a better place
to travel without four wheels. Now this
one's a little ironic coming, isn't it? Right. Let's
drive to San Diego and talk about not
driving. So yeah, yeah. Obviously, Brian, I have a little
bit of a skewed perspective of being car centric, but
that's just also the layout of America. It is a car
centric place. On the flip side, we talk about
getting out of your house, getting off the phone and coming to events like this
at the podcast theater or going to see a comedian or a music act
and doing things that aren't always car related.
And I think in this case having a safer space for even kids
to ride bikes. Especially with the rise of E bikes. E
bikes are getting out of control. Kids are getting injured
and riding them in ways that they shouldn't. But I don't think
it's out of the realm for a community to have a conversation about how can
we do activities in a safer place, in a safer manner. How
can we coexist with cars and still be able to, you know, ride our bike
down the street to the grocery store? You know, how do we do that in
a safer manner? I think it's a fair conversation to have.
Oh, especially, especially in San Diego.
Yeah. I mean, it's probably one of the most
beautiful places in the US Is San Diego.
But yeah, definitely. So it's interesting, right,
because you have this event where you're launching a, a book
and then they're partaking in some libations
and, you know, all the proceeds are going towards that.
So another one of those things where it's Just not about
building a brand. It's like an engine. Right. Like it, it's
driving other things where one week it's, it's a bike,
you know, and the next it's maybe some community activity and
then you're releasing a book and so it can definitely spread out
from there. Yeah, we've seen this a couple times in the last couple
weeks where if you are releasing another product, in this case it's a book.
A lot of times you would go on morning radio or morning
television shows and get interviewed about your book. But what we're starting to
see is the writers and authors of this book, of these books,
they're starting to create immersive events. And this one is because they
have a podcast as well, the War on Cars. They're going around
and setting up live event nights where they're going to record their
podcast and it's coinciding with the launch of
their book. So this live event is also a way to
promote and get their book in front of people.
Yeah, if you're teaming up with local organizations or
other businesses, I mean, it's just a great model. When we
do, for instance, our, our car giveaways, I'll get
local businesses to donate and then we, we announce
the winners live. So we
lead up to it and during the broadcast people
are able to win like pizzas or, you know, or
some food or free car wash or things like that. And
I mean, so it's a win, win, win. Right? The, the business gets its name
out there, somebody wins a car and then we're, we're
facilitating that. So it's a, it's a great concept.
Yeah, it's a great way of tying the community and your event too, with giving
away a car is the grand finale. But you have all these little things leading
up to it. I think you do live streams even prior to the giveaway
where you're really promoting it and teasing it up. Yeah, I won't tease that up,
but it's been few and far between right now, just, you
know, wearing so many hats. But yeah, yeah, it's definitely something that people
anticipate. So a podcast type of
event and you get people to get your product and whether it's new
swag or things like that, it's a, it's a way for, for everybody to come
out and participate. Awesome. Well, speaking of coming
out and participating, our next stories from
gallery audio to theater phenomenon. The
Minneapolis Institute of Art turned its modest podcast the
Object into a sold out theatrical event by doing what
most museums Struggle with leaning into creativity,
personality, and full on edutainment. After
realizing early attempts at talking into a mic in a
gallery were dead on arrival, writer Tim
Gring rebuilt the podcast as an immersive
narrative series. And years later, the museum finally
asked the big question, could this work? On stage,
the answer was a resounding yes. With celebrity
guests, audience quizzes, theatrical moments, and nearly 300
seats filled for its Dolly episode, the
Object Live transformed a quiet audio show into a
cultural happening. The secret collaboration
across departments, free admission to build superfans,
and the bold idea that museums should surprise people,
not bore them. And I first saw this and I was, what a
great way to bring museums alive. Almost like Night at the Museum.
The. The movie where you're going in and it comes
to life, you're hearing these stories, you're seeing a museum. A museum at night is
already a very interesting place to be. If you've ever had the chance to just
see museums in the dark, it is a whole different experience.
But now lay in a free event with community,
free admission to the community and these storytelling
events, I, I think you just get a whole new experience and
perspective about museums. Yeah, I mean,
who would have th Right. Because the only time, like you
really go to museum, I mean, to be honest, you know, it's been a
while for me, but you know, going for field trips and like that
from school. But to turn the museum, I mean, they admitted
it, it was, you know, fairly boring. You know, it's a, it's a one facing
thing. But for it to turn into a podcast and
bring people out and for a, you know, real
experience and like it said, edutainment. Right. You're entertaining
them, but you're also educating them at the same time. That's.
It's a, it's a great idea for sure. Yeah. If you have the space, you
got 300 seats to fill, you have a free event and
you. I don't think Dolly could get 300 people out to an
event if he was alive. Well, they did. And it
was a packed house. And in Minneapolis too. It wasn't even wintertime yet,
so, you know, people were going in their free will, not even trying
to escape the cold. Yeah, I mean, I wonder what type of snacks
they had because. That'S the deal breaker.
What are you serving? Is the nacho bar open tonight? I
wanted to get a hot pretzel. Yeah. Some of that
cheese, maybe like a. Dripping clock cookie,
you know, something like that. I don't know. We have a place out here called
Eaton park and they do smiley face cookies. I bet they could do that.
Which are just round sugar cookies with two dots and a mouth.
And they could do a Salvador Dali melting face cookie
would be awesome. Definitely. Yeah, you're welcome.
Lets go international. We're going to Creator Week in Macau
where the Internet meets real life. Creator Week Macau
2025 transformed the entire city into a creator
powered festival where business, culture and creativity
collided for five days straight with influencers,
filmmakers, digital entrepreneurs and marketing giants from Google,
Meta and Mr. Beast Network. The event positioned
creativity as the new global currency and Macau
as a major creative hub. Beyond conference halls, international
creators learned with local ambassadors to explore heritage
streets, film collaborations and produce a flood of short
form content that showcased the city as a living studio.
Between wellness workshops, hands on creative training,
live podcasting, recordings and nightly performances,
Creator Week wasn't just a conference. It was a full scale
cultural exchange, proving that the future of the creator economy
is experiential, cross cultural and
deeply human. Yeah, why don't you
go to this in Macau? Geez, I gotta renew my
passport. I'm in the process of going through. I let it, I let it lapse.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat there. But man, this is what
Gary Vaynerchuk's been saying, you know, the whole time, right? They, that
creators are, are the currency. And the fact that a
whole basic country turned, or the city turned
it into Creator Week. I mean, just imagine how
much content is coming out of there and you know, the,
the relationships that are being built. Especially you know, you got
Meta and who else was there?
You got Google, Mr. Beast Network, Mr. Beast,
Gez. All right, that's a trifecta right there.
And that's one of the things we've been noticing. If you invite these creators, they're
probably talking about it leading up to the event, then they're probably
live streaming, taking photos while they're at the event and then
they're probably talking about it after the event. So if you're hosting
an event, a meetup, something around your community,
invite the people who are influencing that community and
you can multiply the reach that your message will get. Because
these influencers, podcasters, need content all the time.
And if you provide them and feed their lips for leading up during
and after, you now have a promotion team working for your event,
that can only build momentum for your next year.
I mean, in all honesty, us as
working in the dealership community, I mean,
I think I would rather do something like this than send out a
mailer. You know, you're going to spend that much money, you know, pay a
couple local influencers to promote an event.
And I've, and to bring that up, I've done that with a couple
of the car giveaways. We have a, a few little influencers in
our community and teamed up with them and
kind of got the word out. You know, one year we did a tik tok
dance challenge. Another year it was a like
somebody that eats food and she promoted, she had a nice
YouTube channel and even before that. So it's
definitely a way to get the word out to a different audience. Right.
I'm no spring chicken, so I, I don't tailor,
you know, I have a Facebook kind of audience where we're
trying to get to a Instagram, tick tock, new generation
type PM of people.
Did you ever do the Harlem Shake?
No, no, we did the
Tebow. We did the Tebow Challenge.
And you know, as part of this being creative, you
having creators there, promoting the event, documenting the event,
one of the things that this event had that they featured as part of
the entertainment were live podcast recording. So
you know, keep note, if you're in a certain industry and you have a
podcast about that industry, there are probably conventions,
meetups, groups that are looking for
entertainment and those conventions are more and more turning towards
live podcasting as part of the entertainment of
that convention. So keep that in mind. You reach out to these
conventions that are in your, in your niche niche and talk
to them and offer your services, say, hey, I can do a live podcast. I'd
love to be on the floor. You may get a pass, you may get
even some travel accommodations to have you there as
part of the event. So don't discount doing your
podcast at events that are in your industry.
Yeah, definitely. And, or find a place like PTI and
you know, there you go. Let's go to
our last story already. Can you believe it?
We're going to the guitar podcasters who turned
their studio into a stage. A guitar school in
northern England gave us one of the most honest behind the scenes accounts of
doing a live podcast. Walking through everything from gear
chaos to audience magic, the Kirklees
Guitar School podcast, backed by a thriving 4,000
member Facebook community and busy in person music school
decided to take their show on stage, recreating their entire
studio set and recording two episodes for a live
paying audience. From hauling amps they call
tone hedge, to routing audio from rodecasters
and interfaces into a pa, to handling guitars, nerves
and handwritten audience questions, the host discovered that even
a Modest sized show can motivate fans to travel hundreds of miles,
even as far as Spain, just to be in the room. Their
big lesson. A live podcast isn't perfect, but it's
powerful, humbling, and absolutely worth doing again.
This one was one of those ones where, you know,
we're talking about, you hear me talk about this for 30 other episodes, six stories
a week, and what, what goes into making that happen. And
they showed you loading the gear in the car and, and setting things up at
the podcast space where they were going to do the show. And
this is just proof that your podcast can be anywhere. It doesn't
have to be in your mom's basement or your home studio. You can get out
of the house and take your podcast on the road, no matter what
it's about. Well, to be able to get that many
people, you know, it just shows that it's, it's your community,
right? Just, you don't need to have a million followers. You can
just have those few that are dedicated and devoted
to a particular, you know, in this instance, you know,
with the music and I don't know how good that music sounded, but
if you can get somebody to fly from
Spain to, to attend a podcast, I mean, that
just shows that you're, that your community is, is thriving and then
you guys have some devoted fans. So that's great.
Yeah, I love the, the DIY mentality. I'm a, I'm an old skateboarder, old
punk rock guy. So, like, DIY is kind of the belief
of everything I do is, hey, okay, yeah, there are things or services
that do that. But what if you figured out how to do it yourself? And
these people, these two podcasters who took their show on the road,
they didn't know, you know, they, they figured it out. They loaded up the car,
they committed to the gig, they showed up, they, they carried
Tone Hedge up the stairs to set up the amps
and they just did it. They went out into the community, into their
neighborhood and put on a live show with paying guests. I don't know if
you caught that part of the story, but they also got paid to
record their podcast, which is the unsung hero
of doing these small independent shows.
Yeah, there's a fact, but I don't. Tonehenge. That's kind of
cheesy. But hey, I could just imagine the, the people
who attended. That's a shout out to them
in, in England. Awesome.
Serving tea and crumpets and whatnot. So.
Well, Brian Ortega creating international incidents, which

down to the very basics. And by the end of the three hours, you should
have the confidence to hit record on your first episode.

two nights so they can finish 2025 stronger than ever.
We've got the Jingle Bell Jam Talent show. This is
just announced December 20th from 6 to 8. This is a
fundraiser for the Knead Cafe. It's one of these
cafes. It's pay what you can. If you can't afford a meal, they will
provide a meal in exchange for some sort of service if you do.
And you're welcome to volunteer. They feed the volunteers as well. It's a
tremendous cafe. I believe it's founded by Bon Jovi. I
have to go into the history, but you can come in if you like to
participate. We're just asking for canned goods that'll go to the food bank.
The ticket sales will go to the Knead Cafe. So if you, if you
do buy a ticket, feel free to bring in canned goods as well. We
will donate all that to the food bank and to the Knead Cafe.
We've got the audio fiction primer. If you're interested in doing a podcast.
But maybe not what I do here with Brian on stage, you can
do a storytelling podcast. A lot of people in
Hollywood are doing this type of format where they're instead of
spending all the money or shopping around a script,
they're just creating the script as this audio.
I'm thinking of the wrong word, but they're using audio
podcasting as a way to proof of concept to show that this is
what the show can be. While Jessica Sutton is going to teach us all about
audio fiction, podcasts, storytelling podcast and how to
bring that to life. How to bring your story to life in a podcast
format. That's in December, right after Christmas. The Saturday
after Christmas, we've got the humorous podcast coming
in March. They're coming down from Connecticut or New Haven somewhere up
in there. And they're going to do a live podcast on the stage.
We'll have that in 2026. And that's
it for me and Poduty and the News. Brian, thank you so much
for joining us and the witty banter pre show.
Thanks, Jeff, man, kudos to you, man. You're living your
dream and I'm so proud of you. So thank you for having me on,
man. Well, thank you. Thank you. That means I just have one more question for
you. What time is it?
Say.
The only live news podcast about
podcasting from the
