Smartless Live, Elle Woods Reunion, and Meteorologist Podcasts Spotlight Local Connections

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

podcast theater podcast poduty.com check out our

upcoming events. Check out what we got going on. If you like the podcast, go
