Hey, everybody. Welcome back to . I'm your host, Jeff Revilla.
This is the only live news podcast about live news
podcasting recorded live at the Poduty Live podcast theater.
I had to take a week off last week. Had surgery, had some problems.
Let's hear that theme song to find out what happened and today's
stories.
Last week, we missed you. Let me tell you why. Jeff tried to shred, but
his tendon said goodbye. Surgery's done. The mic's in hand. Now it's time
for the new across podcast land. From bishops at the altar with questions
afield to smartest in a holly yet that guest still sealed in Jeffersonville,
the library's lit. Their podcast studio is a community hit.
Elle woods is back with sparkle and flair. The Broadway cast
reunited with stylish fair. The Myrtle beach brewed up a weathery delight with our
youth service going live Wednesday night. So brace your earbuds and get comfy
too. It's Poduty and the News hosting just for you.
All right, I'm back. We're back live for Pdutiana News. We did miss
last week. As you can see, I'm on a walker. I had surgery
on my Achilles. I decided after 15 years of living a
sedentary life that I would try skateboarding again. And after
about five minutes of pushing around, pop, I tore
that sucker and had to have surgery last Friday. So
we're two weeks into this injury. I got about eight weeks of
serious recovery and about a full year till I'm back
to normal old Jeffers. But we're not going to miss another
episode. Make sure you go to Poduty.com P
O-D-U-T-Y.com to see all the events that we have coming
up in July and August. Also, if you like this podcast and you like
live news about live news podcasting recorded live, go
to news.poduty.com and you'll see all the
back episodes for this show. And we've got five
doozies coming your way. And the thing I love about this show, when I started
it just over a couple months ago, I struggled
to find one or two stories about live news podcasting
and or just about live podcasting in general. And today we have
another round of five solid stories of
examples of podcasting happening in your local community and
around the world. Let's go to that first one. We're
going to file this one under Frank Talk in the front pew.
It comes to us from the Newton B. On May 30,
Bishop Frank Cagiano brought his
popular podcast Let Me Be Frank to a live audience
for the first time inside a Diocean church held at St
Rose of Lima Parish. The special taping featured a
town hall style conversation with open Q and A on
topics ranging from faith and Catholic news to the
bishop's thoughts on why on the newly elected Pope
Leo. Hosted by Steve Lee of the
Veritas Catholic Network, the event marked a
milestone for the Bridgeport diocese, offering parishioners a rare
opportunity to ask questions directly and hear candid
reflections from their bishop in real time. And churches
using technology isn't a new thing at all. Churches were one of the first
places that really got involved in live streaming. Whether it was the reach of
their shut in, whatever they call their
members or people who are just around and maybe moved away, but they loved
that church but still wanted to get the sermon for the week. Churches really
jumped on technology. Live streaming and podcasting is another example
of things that they did early on. And to now have a podcast
recorded live in a church, this was for the first time for
Bishop Frank, this is a big deal. This is combining two
different worlds and people are able to now get together, share their
faith, share their stories, and do it in the church environment that they're
comfortable with. So a great step forward for Bishop Frank and hope to
see more events like this. Our second story today
we're going to file under Live Laugh. Listen
Smartless Style comes to us from the Hollywood Reporter. The
comedy trio behind Smartless, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and
Sean Hayes are heading to avalon Hollywood on June 12th.
That's old Jeffers birthday here for a special live taping of their hit
podcast presented by Sirius xm. As always,
one host will know the surprise guest ahead of time, while the
others and the audience will find out live on stage.
Following the success of last summer's Hamptons episode, Sirius
XM is using these exclusive events to deepen fan
engagement and deliver unforgettable moments. The
episodes will release to Sirius XM subscribers on the July
24 and everywhere on July
31. And this is just another example of bringing your
podcast into the real world, doing these events, making new
connections, making, you know, having a live show where
afterwards you can shake somebody's hand. They can thank you for putting the show
together and all your hard work. We really want to start bridging
those two areas. You know, you're recording an episode every week of your
podcast and you submit it for release on Monday.
And the best feedback you get right now is you go back the following
Monday and you can see how many downloads you had in seven days. But what
Smartlist is doing and has done very well since the pandemic,
they're going out into the communities, doing their live shows,
meet and greets, VIP events. They're really teasing up that ticket
price and creating an experience that you don't just get when you
only download an MP3 file. So keep that in mind for your show.
Live events are definitely a way to make a
to bridge a better community with your podcast listeners.
Let's file this one under library cards and lavalier mics. This isn't quite a
live news story, but I want to keep libraries in the back of your
head for a reason. So the Jeffersonville Township Public Library
just gave local creators a major upgrade by opening a fully
equipped podcasting studio for patrons. From shure mics to
Audacity software and all the cables you'll need, the space
is built for podcasters of all experience levels, free
to use with a library card. The studio is part of the library's
mission to promote digital literacy and provide a creative space
for community voices to be heard one mic at a time.
Don't roll out your local library. Many of these, many of them have
media rooms or small theaters for performances. And, and this is
a really cool example from Jeffersonville, Indiana. They
created a podcasting studio in their library. And that's something I want you to
keep in the back of your head. Because libraries often have these media rooms
or theaters, or like, sometimes they have third floor little
auditoriums where you can go in and do a live show.
Usually if you're a member, they might have a small rental fee, a small
service fee, but you're able to do your podcast live
in other places, not just like what we're doing here at the Poduty Live
Podcast Theater, where this is a space dedicated to that. You may not
have this in your backyard. What you may have is a library.
You may have a community center. You may have small bars
and restaurants that have stages in the back corner. These are all
areas where you can start to take your podcast into the community.
So keep that library and get your library card, will ya?
We're going over to the Broadway Podcast Network. We're gonna file this one
under Bend and Snap. The cast of Legally
Blonde the search for Elle woods reunited live at the
Museum of Broadway to celebrate the show's enduring legacy.
Moderated by Torrey Heinlein, the event featured heartfelt
stories, behind the scenes memories and reflections on how the
musical's theme of empowerment and self belief still
resonate today. From resilience to rhinestones,
the reunion was a joyful tribute to Elle woods and the
impact the pink powered production continues to have on
Broadway and the fans who adore it. Now this is obviously a
big Broadway production with a huge Hollywood support
behind it with two successful movies. But this is another
example of using podcasts and live events to meet
your community, meet your audience. What better way to do it than to
have a night out and sharing those stories? So awesome work
from the Broadway Podcast network and congratulations to
Elle Woods. And finally,
file this one under 100% chance of podcast coming to
us from the WMBF newsroom. The skies are clear for a
podcast night out. Chief meteorologist Jamie Arnold
and meteorologist Andrew Dockery hosted a live
taping of Are you serious? At the Grand
Strand Brewing Company in Myrtle Beach. Fans
dropped by for drinks, dinner and some storm chasing stories before the show
kicked off at 7pm it was a chance to ask weather questions
face to face and connect with the voices behind the
forecast. And yes, the puns were definitely
serious business. So we're from Pittsburgh. We had a,
just like most towns, we had a great weatherman, Joe DiNardo
who would, he would actually fly his helicopter to schools.
Just a real flex, you know, look at me on my helicopter and land
in like the parking lot and come in with his WTA news
crew and do like a show in front of all the students. It was an
amazing time and this is really building on that with a
podcast with your local meteorologist doing these fun events,
doing remote events out at the brewing company. So if you get a chance
and you see something like this, go support it. This is
good, clean fun families can enjoy. You can enjoy. You can
have a great night out for just a couple dollars and you might meet a
local celebrity and have some good times. So if you like what we're doing, if
you like these news stories, well, we're doing these news stories live at the Poduty
