Hey Everybody. Welcome to Poduty and the News for Monday, August 25th.

We've got some great stories coming up, but as you know, we started this podcast

to showcase what you see. Behind me is our podcast theater

outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We are trying to

enlighten people and show people all these things that are happening in the world

of podcasting that aren't just MP3 files that you download to your device

or your app. These are real events happening in the world

all based around podcasting where the audience can come in

and watch a live podcast. And that's what we're building here. That's what we're helping

to showcase from around the world. We got our first story tonight

in Indianapolis. It's the Indy Meets the Mic

coming to us from Eventbrite. This is an event you can go see. This week,

Indianapolis is turning the mic on the community. The In

Podcasting Meetup and Harrison center are teaming up for a live

podcasting and digital Creators event on August 27th.

From networking in the historic Polk Stables to a live

podcast recordings amplifying neighborhood voices,

this isn't just about content, it's about connection and

tickets are complimentary. Head over to the link in the show notes if you're in

the Indianapolis area and click that link. Go, go

support them. Go meet up fellow podcasters in the

Indianapolis area. Our second story tonight, Tarot

Tales and Terror in Salem from AudioBoom.

The strange and unexplained podcast took its chills on the road to the Witch

City Tarot Convention in Salem. This live episode

was a three part journey starting with totally

true and definitely not fabricated history

of Tarot, followed by a dive into the legendary

Hawthorne Hotel and capped with ghostly revelations from

ghost hunters Sherry Debundetti. Expect

equal parts laughs and lingering nightmares from this Salem stage

show. And you know, this is one of the things that we talk about is

get your show on the road. How can you figure out your show to

be performed in front of a live audience? There's a lot of upsides to doing

your podcast live and thinking about it as a different form of

entertainment. You know you're already entertaining people because they're

downloading your podcast. But what if you could do that in person, live

and in front of them? Our third story, Cool Tools

and Hot Tech from ISN in 2025, brought to us from

break and front end at the ISN Tool

Dealer Expo, the Tech Shop Live podcast sat down with

CPS Automotive's Dennis Eaton to talk shop,

literally. From AC service gear to

dye detection tools and Motovax preventative

maintenance systems, CPS is rolling out innovations designed to make

technicians jobs faster, cleaner and more efficient. It's a look

under the hood at the tech that keeps coming from the

auto industry. Industries need to get their information out to the

people who can't attend all these conferences. And podcasting live

from the floor is a great way to not only promote the event,

promote your podcast, but share information that needs to get to your

customers. So businesses are doing this all over the place. They're taking their shows to

the road, they're taking them to where their customers are meeting at, and they're

recording these live or they're bringing in talent who can record podcast lives

as a part of the entertainment. So keep that in mind. These are things

that people are looking for. They're looking for live podcasts.

You could be one of the ones on the showroom floor. Next year, our fourth

story comes to us from Taskmaster. Taskmaster goes

live at Just for Laughs. The Taskmaster podcast hit the stage for

the very first time. Recording live at the Just for Laughs

Comedy festival in Montreal. Host Ed

Gamble was joined by Taskmaster royalty and his real

life best mate, Nish Kumar. Together they built Nish's

ultimate Taskmaster episode, swapping stories about favorite prize

tasks, the infamous basketball challenge, and the

Monza Zuzas Kumar friendship that made Nish

such a natural part of Jason's Taskmaster journey. I believe

this is like a big show. I don't know too much about Taskmaster, but they

have a huge following on YouTube and they're taking their show on the road.

They're at the Comedy Fest in Montreal just for laughs. Another

way to connect with your fans and people who need

your services. Story

number five already tonight.

Let me turn my page.

Story number five. Made in Racine Haunted history

goes live. The Racine County Eye is launching a brand

new live podcast series called Maiden Racine,

shining a spotlight on the city's cultures, traditions and legends. The

first episode Haunted Racine Records before a live audience on

October 24 inside the historic Bell City Square,

which was once the Horlock Malted Milk Factory. The night

promises ghost stories from the Masonic center, haunted

history from local researchers, audience storytelling and

even spooky trivia. Lightning Round. It's part podcast,

part community event and rooted in Racine's eerie pass. Now here's the

community creating a podcast for the community to showcase the

community. Just a tremendous event. If you're in the Racine area,

October 21st, head on over or

October 24th, head on over and get your tickets now. And our last

story tonight, Invest Festival from Global

Grind, where wealth meets culture. Earn your leisure's Invest

Fest was back in Atlanta this past weekend and it's cementing itself as the

world's largest live podcast on financial literacy.

This year the spotlight is on AI, global investing and

creative ownership. From panels on black wealth and social media

monetization to Jack Dorsey streaming into Market

Mondays Live, to Issa Rae sharing her blueprint for creative

entrepreneurship. The event blends money talk with culture and

innovation. And to cap it off, Magic Johnson takes the

stage for the billionaire blueprint. This is a

crazy event when you look at the star studded cast and who's there and what

they're talking about. Check out Invest Fest next year. If you did missed it this

year. I believe they do have a live stream or a replay ticket.
