Snowstorm Social Panic, Cultural Podcast Moments and Cat Con with Julie Marty-Pearson

What time is it?

What time is it?

The only live news podcast about

podcasting from the stage.

The news.

The only live news podcast about

podcasting from the stage.

Well, I hope you know what time it is. It's time for Poduty and the

News. I've got a great guest joining me tonight. It's

Julie Marty-Pearson. How you doing tonight, Julie?

I'm good. How are you doing? Great. So it's

cold here in Pittsburgh. We had 20 inches of snow yesterday.

And the high for the. Until Sunday, the high

it's going to be is 16 degrees. I

honestly could not. I do. I do not even compute. I

am in California where It is currently 58, and I

was born and raised here, so I've never lived somewhere that cold. And I feel

for all of you right now. I was having a

conversation with somebody earlier today and they're saying something very similar like, how do you

do it? And I'm like, honestly, it's. It's really the best part

of living and climate where you have four distinct seasons. I

like, even though January and February are really tough and it's

still getting dark at 5pm there's just something about knowing

that by mid March it's going to be, you know, 60

degrees and it's going to be light until 7pm and you start to get

more and more of this, you know, daytime back and life back, and

you're. You can get outside more and you really get to appreciate, you know,

seven, eight months of the year with four kind of not

so great months. That sounds nice.

Yeah, we don't, we don't get four, I would say

seasons. It kind of depends. But where I live gets very hot in the summer.

We were over 100 for three or four months and I do

not enjoy that. So I, what you were talking about sounds good. I could deal

with a couple months of that to en. Enjoy the rest of the year.

Well, I know something else that you have because I was listening to your new

podcast, Still Becoming Woman Unmuted,

and you were kind of joking about you started with one podcast

and now you have three podcasts. And it was really entertaining

just to hear your perspective about you podcasters kind of collect these things

and we just start more podcasts. Tell us a little about your podcast

and the best way if we want to connect with you and how do we

listen to them. Yeah, you can find all of my information,

all of my podcasts and things on my website, which is easy. It's just.

juliemartypearson.com and like you said, I Just started

another last week. I. I've been messing around

with this idea for a while and I just thought I'd put it out there

and I've gotten a great response. So I'm really excited about still becoming women

unmuted. It's really going to focus on women's issues, women's

topics. Just a place for us to share and grow, kind of learn

together. And I have two other podcasts. My other

is podcast your story and that is related to my

business. And I share my tips and tricks there about

how to start a podcast, how to grow, and how to be a good guest,

which I get asked about a lot. And then my third is kind

of my passion project. It's where I started in podcasting.

It's called the story of my pets. And I interview people

all over the world talking about stories of pet rescue, you,

animal fostering, animal adoption, and why

everybody should help out the animals in their community

and, you know, and volunteer and foster for overcrowded shelters

and all sorts of different topics. So I really love that one. I've

always been a huge animal lover and they're a big part of my life.

And I keep that going because that's kind of the really fun part of

podcasting for me is getting to talk to people about their pets.

Yeah. I think I saw on one episode you had somebody who rescued, I think

over 2,000 pets or helped foster

2,000 pets. It was quite an impressive number.

Yeah, I've had some really amazing conversations

with people that I thought I knew a lot. I thought I've always been an

advocate. And then I started the podcast and I was like, wow, there's a lot

I need to learn. So no wonder we need to educate other people. But

yeah, I've met some really incredible people that have. Some people are

doing it on the side as a volunteer thing. But I've also interviewed a lot

of people who work full time and rescue and shelters and non

profits. And it's just really amazing what, what they're dedicating their

lives to. But we also talk about fun things and

how cute our pets are and the silly things they do and how we can't

imagine if we didn't have them in our lives. So I try to make it

a mix of the stories we tell. Awesome. And that

all those links will be in the show notes. There's the podcast.

The story of my pet was great. I was listening to some of the episodes,

doing some of my research, audio Julie. And just a great little

channel on YouTube. Check it out. The link will be in the show notes. Make

sure you support the guests and also all my guests who come on the show.

We're doing something a little special. It's called Poduty and the Crew.

And Julie will now be part of the crew. If you go to the website

where you can find this podcast, you're going to see Julie with all of her

links and any show that Julie

has ever appeared on. So we're building out this huge library so

Julie can be on this show and Julie could be on future episodes.

And we're going to have all those links there, all of it archived in

one place there. It's going to be pretty impressive. That

sounds very cool. I will be checking it out myself now that

I'm on it. You know, I think it's that I think I talk

about it all the time. But podcast guesting is such a great thing because it

is like expanding our community and our connections and

all of that. And I put all of my guest episodes on my website just

for that reason, because I want to share them too. Yeah, it's a great

way. So check out those links. News.poduty.com

p-o-d-u-t-y.com all the links, all the

show notes, all the episodes, audio and video in one

place, which means we know what time it is. Are

you ready for our first story? Let's

go. There are some interesting ones you may.

Not fully understand because this is going to be people in the path

of the snowstorm that just came through the east coast here. But

snow panic is real. And the Rizzuto show

podcast delivered another masterclass in live culture.

Reactive podcasting with an episode that turns a simple winter

forecast into into a full blown social experiment.

From grocery store panic and empty shelves to the absolute

horror of watching someone pay with a check. The show

captures how fast adults unravel once snow enters. The chat

layered with listener emails about awkward office behavior,

relationship limbo and workplace etiquette wars,

plus celebrity nonsense, sports updates and

sponsored studio cams. The episode shows why live

comedy podcasts thrive. They react instantly

to shared experiences and turn everyday chaos into

communal laughter. And one of the things that you said you've never

been in a winter environment. One of the things,

it's very Covid like the behavior of people. When there's a storm

coming, everybody has to go to the store and they buy

everything. There won't be milk or bread, paper

towels, toilet paper. You'll have to go hunting to find stuff. The

shelves literally get wiped empty when you're at the

worst Case scenario, the snow happened Sunday into Monday. We were

already driving Monday afternoon, yet there was this full

blown panic in the area. And a podcast like this, this is going to be

a live stream show. And this is an example of kind of pulling

on cultural moments, things that are happening in society,

and kind of piggyback on that for the content for your show. So this

is one of those shows where, you know, this is what the public's talking about.

They're going crazy trying to get all the groceries they can. And here

we. This podcast comes in and really capitalizes on that

moment. Yeah, and that makes so much sense because I

saw so much of this on social media. You know, people

go into the store talking about it. One of my friends who's a podcaster was

posting about like, she would say, why are there no

eggs, milk or bread anywhere? And she was like, how much

French toast are you guys making right now? Like, she said she couldn't

find those three things at any of the stores she went to. And it's just

so funny to think it's like, guys, you're not going to be cut off from

the world for a month.

It is full blown panic. And, and to be able to have a live stream

podcast, you know, something that's even in, in your industry,

you, your, your niche, you're going to find

things that capitalize on the current moments. And I really think that's what this

po. This episode did really well is they took this major

thing that had news coverage 247 for a week leading

up to it, and they had a little comedy about it. They were, you know,

teasing and jesting each other about what's going to happen.

Did you get your eggs? Did you get the milk? And, and I think

that's just a, a new way to think about podcasting in a way you may

not think about. You may be sitting there writing a script or getting,

preparing questions for an interview. But another perspective, if you're going to

live stream it, you might as well really get into the pop

culture, really get into the psyche of everybody who's out there running around

to get, get the milk and bread. Yeah. And I think it's

smart because, I mean, one of the benefits of live streaming is you don't have

to edit and then put up later and all of that. So you

can be at the immediate moment of what's happening

you, whether that's good or bad. But yeah, I think there's definitely

a niche there in podcasting that not a lot of us who record

and you know, edit, get to do because we're on a schedule or

we put it out certain days. But doing it live and just delving

into what's happening in the world is really. It sounds like they had a lot

of fun with it. Yeah. And this could be a special episode.

It doesn't have to be your normal format. These, they look like they do

it pretty regularly, maybe part of a radio station. But if you can have a

special event or kind of reward your fans with a special type

of episode, this might be one strategy to consider. It's take things from

your industry, take things that you're interested in and make them current and just

have a conversation about it. Yeah, you know, one of

that's one of the things I'm playing with with my newest podcast is doing some

of my episodes livestream, maybe even a panel so people can ask

questions in real time and we can respond. Because I've never

really done that with any of mine. And there's definitely a different

type of focus or content you can get that way.

Yeah. Let's keep it going. I have a second live stream. This podcast

mixes live stream podcasts, live podcasts that happen in

front of audiences, and even podcasts that happen at

as part of other events like conferences. We even see it with

concerts sometimes. The opening acts now are podcasts. So

let's keep it going with another live stream. The Brothers of the

Serpent Niche Nerdy and Live the snake Bros.

Poll 4700 views the snake Bros. Live

podcast proves once again that you don't need celebrity guests or

a massive stage to win with live podcasting. A

recent live streamed episode pulled over 4700 views.

Combining real time discussion, deep dive

analysis and long form debate on topics ranging

from fasting and extreme weather in Texas to

geomagnetic storms and a controversial academic paper on

ancient Egyptian stone vessels. The episode shows

how live podcasts can thrive by letting audiences watch the

thinking process unfold. Disagreements, critiques and

all, turning complex subject matter into compelling, binge

worthy content that rewards curiosity and keeps viewers

engaged far beyond a traditional audio

format. Julie, we're kind of building on the last story

there. There's a way to connect with people. It doesn't have to be

kind of like that morning show format. It could be something that you're

passionate about. It could be like the paper on Egyptian

stone vessels that made for interesting content.

Somehow they were able to pull it together. Maybe that's something they studied in

college or they're just obsessed with, but they

were able to take something abstract and really make a

content, make a show out of it. That was the part that stuck

out to me when I was reading about this before, I was like, egyptian stone

vessels. That's very specific. But,

you know, and I could say, you know, as a guest, one of the things

I love about being a guest is seeing what people are doing. I've been on

podcasts. One was for Bruce Springsteen, Superfans.

That's a very specific podcast. But we had this great long conversation

about lots of different things. So I think it is cool when

people really get specific, but they also allow it to evolve from that

point. Dive in, find the things you love, because you're going to find with

your podcast, you're going to find other people who love the same things. And

if you're passionate about it, you'll find your audience. Get in there,

figure it out, make it interesting, have fun with it. And this is just

a great example of doing that live and pulling your audience together.

4700 people also wanted to know about Egyptian stone

vessels. Wow. And I think

that's also why we see in mainstream media, all the

big shows, all the popular shows have podcasts,

buddies. They said, you know, after this episode, check out the, the podcast

about this show. They even have some new ones where they're having, you

know, famous people come in to host, to talk to the people that are

in the, the television show after each episode. So that

is because everything can be a cult following, whether it's a TV show or a

book or just Egyptian stone vessels, apparently.

And you see that a lot. Like you just mentioned, HBO does this

really well. Apple does it really well. They're combining this

extended content in podcast format. Yes, you're going to watch the show,

you're going to binge watch the series, but then there's this additional bonus

content that you can only get through the podcast. And Julie's spot on, like,

that's a way to keep that community growing, keep that community

engaged in between episodes. And I think that's also why so

many actors and sports people have created their own shows, because they've

realized they can do it for themselves without it actually being the, you

know, companies behind the shows it that are creating it, they can

create it for themselves. I've seen a lot there's. I know there's a couple ones

for the show, the Office that the people who used to be on it do

like re watches of all the episodes. So there's so many different approaches.

I know the Boy Meets World is a big one. That one was I forget

what they call it, but you know, those shows,

I think How I Met yout Mother has a podcast as well. Like these classic

TV shows now are revisiting where they have this cult following.

And they're right. They're just going into it and keeping that community

engaged. That makes me think I might have to create

a Clue podcast. Clue is my favorite

movie from back in the 80s. And I'm like, or there could already be some.

And I just haven't seen them yet. Like all the Easter eggs.

And Clue would be like, what's all the. There's just so much scenery in the

back. The set design was so elaborate in that movie. Yes. There's

probably a thousand stories in the background.

Oh, I love that. Oh, now I'm gonna have a fourth podcast.

Oh, well, let's. Let's see. Because maybe you could present that

podcast at this conference, which I just wanted to highlight. This is

the map for an event coming up in the communications industry.

And if you look at the highlighted section in the upper right corner, guess what

it says? If you really, really zoom in, it says Podcast

stage. So this is a conference and part of the

showroom floor, the event floor is going to be a stage

dedicated just to podcasting. So Connected America

2026 just unveiled its future focus agenda

for this April in Texas. And buried among the

keynotes, AI discussions and broadband policy panels

is a major signal for podcasters, a dedicated

live podcast lounge built into the conference experience

taking place April 14 at the Irving Convention Center. The

event isn't just hosting conversations about connectivity.

It's actively creating content in real time with live

interviews featuring senior industry leaders alongside startup

pitches and policy discussions. This is another

example of how conferences recognizing podcasts as a

primary storytelling and distribution channel, not just the post

event marketing. And it shows how live podcast stages are

becoming the standard feature for major industry

gatherings. And I heard on here it says a pitch fest that I know.

Jolie, you work on Pitch Fest. I saw on your YouTube channel.

That's so something that you're building. If you were part of the

communications industry, you know, that could be something that you could

possibly present on this stage. Yeah, this is

crazy. I mean, I've heard about people doing some live

recordings at conferences, but it's usually podcast conferences.

So to see them have a dedicated space for that, that's really

amazing. But that's also shows that that industry is keeping up with

what people want and how people communicate and how they get information.

It's like if an industry isn't tapping into Podcasting, then they really

are losing out. Yeah. And this is the communications industry, if

you think about what you're working in. Julie also has the story of my pet.

There's probably a thousand pet conferences or meetups

or adoption events going on across the country. You

could tie your show into those types of events. So whether or not

you're in broadband communications for Connected America,

find something in your industry you can probably piggyback on

and maybe get a free ticket, maybe get your ticket comped, maybe be

a volunteer or help make the event a better place.

You can do that because you have this asset of your podcast. And

I can say that that is very true, because I actually have done that this

past summer. I got to go to catcon, which is an

annual conference for cat lovers in Pasadena, California,

and I got to sign up as media with my podcast. And so

I got a media pass and got to walk around for two days interviewing people

and taking photos and participating, and it was

amazing. And then I covered it on my podcast. That's

100% what we're talking about. That's incredible that you're

thinking that far ahead and doing those types of things already to be

able to just leverage your way, like, hey, I got this thing where I talk

to other people who take care of pets, who care about their story.

Then they invite you into their conference to walk around, interview some of

the event booths, some of the speakers. You get this

inside, kind of quote, unquote, inside baseball. Look at the

cat convention, that there's no better way to tie

yourself to your audience than to just go where your audience is.

First of all, it was fun because I had gone to catcon many years ago,

so I was excited. But a couple of the booths that they had, hundreds of

booths, it was crazy. It was like 3,000 people. You wouldn't believe it, but it

was true. And a couple of the booths were actually being run by people I

have had on my podcast before as interviews. So I got to meet them in

person, and then I walked around and talked to everybody, and I have some.

Several newer guests that are coming on through, meeting there. And I also

handed out, you know, stickers that have my podcast name on it and little

paw prints. So there's a lot of different ways you could use an

experience like that. And it doesn't even have to be directly tied

to your podcast. It could just be loosely tied to it, too.

Yeah. A great way, you know, go where your audience is. There's

no better way to meet people that are like you than to go where

they like to go. I guess I tried to make a saying out of that.

It didn't quite work, but I think you got it. Yeah,

go where your people are 100%.

I love that story. I want now I kind of what? We just adopted three

cats over the summer. I tore my Achilles and I'm

resting and my family's like, hey, we want to get some cats. And

so while I can't walk around the house, we adopted three

Maine coons. We found we didn't know what they were. It turns out

that were Maine coons. So we don't know how big they

are, but they are six months old now and they are as

big as our 15 year old cat. So we'll see what

happens. I'll keep you. Those are big

cats. I don't know if they're

100% like, but they're already pretty big. Well,

let's keep it going at conferences. Here's another example of a conference. A smart

example of long tail live podcasting comes from

IAB Europe, which recorded an entire

Retail Media Roundtable podcast miniseries

live at the Retail Media Impact Summit in Amsterdam,

sponsored by media marked Saturn. The sessions

weren't just for attendees in the room. They were captured strategically

to be released throughout the year, extending the life of the conference

far beyond the single event. It's a strong reminder that live

podcasting isn't only about the moment on stage. It's

about creating a content engine that keeps delivering value,

visibility and relevance long after the

conference doors close. And this could be one for pidouty in the

news. You know, I could go to a podcast conference

to, you know, Radio Days Europe, I think, is a big one

coming up. I'd love to do the news from the stage.

That's so cool and so strategic. I mean,

they're, they were thinking ahead, they were thinking about all the content they could get

and how they could, you know, use it over time. Which also saves a

lot of time having to do more events throughout the year. I

mean, we talk about batching even for us who record and edit, but this

is such a interesting way to do it and to

really be like expanding the ways to connect with people

that, you know, are much broader than when you just do it on

Zoom or, you know, in a local studio.

Especially when people travel from all over to go to a conference. Right.

This is something that we're seeing with conferences happening. We're

talking about going to conferences as your podcast and maybe performing there or

like Julie did with the CAT conference, getting additional content.

But we're seeing conferences use us strategically

before, during and after the conference. Leading up to the conference, they're having

people release podcasts saying, hey, we're going to be there, come find us.

We'll be at this booth, we're visiting these people, we'll be on this stage.

Then during the conference, they're live streaming from the conference,

they're getting content from the conference. And then for the rest of the

year, after the conference, all these podcasters that they invited to the

conference, they are releasing content all year long

about the conference, only snowballing the effect for next

year's attendees. So, you know, con, this is an example of a

conference using that strategy to get people to

deliver content to people all year long. Well,

and what's smart about that is that it probably doesn't.

It saves them money too in marketing and promotion by having

a lot of podcasters do it for them both pre and post. And

if you have a great a podcast you love and you hear them talk about

it, you're much more likely to want to go to the conference next year. I've

had so many people say that about catcon because I talked about it on all

my socials and talked, you know, did live videos and

shared a lot of photos and so of course, you know, that was the whole

point of catcon, letting me have a media passes because then I'm probably convincing

some people to show up next year. I just love it. Great way to

promote, great way to connect with the community. It's a win win for the

podcasters. It's a win win for the conference. And you get this

multiplier effect by working together and we'll keep it going.

Let's go to San Diego.

We're going to the Voice of San Diego. One Sports leadership steps

onto the podcast stage. The VOSD podcast took their

microphones live to Soda Bar for a special episode

featuring J.D. wicker, athletic director at San Diego State

University. In front of a live audience, Wicker tackled tough

questions about ticket pricing at Snapdragon Stadium,

empty seats, and how SDSU is navigating the

rapidly shifting landscape of college athletics, including

nil and sports betting. The episode shows how

live podcasting creates a rare environment where public figures

can't hide behind press releases. Blending real

accountability with real time audience energy in a way

traditional interviews rarely match.

Hey, here's a great example of going into the public, right?

You could do an interview one on one in a private studio and

record it and then release it. Or you could take

that conversation out in the public, have a night out, sell some tickets,

maybe a fundraiser for a certain charity or a certain part of the athletic

club, and just have this intimate experience with your fans

and kind of answer all those questions that they are, hey, what's going? Why can't

we sell any tickets? No. Yeah. It's such an interesting

approach, and it's something they could be doing after every game.

And different, you know, different people on the team are interviewed.

There's so many ways you could play into it. But I do love this idea

that, you know, he was willing to show up and be there live and allow

whatever questions that may come to, you know, be asked of him.

It definitely is a great way to connect with the fans, but also connect

with fans who may not agree with the way things are going either.

Yeah, and I love this set. There's just this padded background.

It's almost all black. Black ceiling, black padding, black

tablecloth. You can see the fans in the front. These

podcasts don't have to be giant events filling theaters

or conference centers. You can do this in a coffee shop, in

the media center of a library. There's lots of places

where you can perform your podcast live and connect locally with

people in your community. Yeah. You know, it's so funny. I was just talking to

another fellow podcaster about that, and we were researching some of the places that

we might be able to create our own events for women in podcasting instead of

just doing it all virtual. Because no matter what, nothing beats in

person. It's a different vibe, It's a different kind of connection, and

that's just in conferences or meetings. But it's also with live

podcasting, I mean, you just. Stuff's gonna happen that wouldn't happen if

you're, you know, at recording it over zoom or, you know,

even live streaming. Yeah, people are gonna get tired of hearing me say this.

But what. The thing I found out that I love most about live

podcasting is whenever you go see a podcast live,

it's a once in a lifetime performance. It will never

happen again. It's different than comedy and music.

If a band comes to town and they play their 15 songs

as their set list, they go to the next town and they play the same

exact 15 songs for that town. And comedians work

on material, and by the time they have a routine, they play that

routine in town to town. But when you go see a podcast, a live

podcast like Julie and I can't do this show again tomorrow in

Cleveland. You've already seen it. It's been released and

edited. This show tonight is once in a lifetime. This

will never happen again in the history of the world. These six stories,

this moment, you can only get it by either being here in the

moment or listening to the archive, to the recording. And,

and that's something I'm finding out how special live

podcasting is. It's a, it's really, it's the ultimate

fomo, right? Oh, yeah, I've. There's

a couple that have toured, there's a couple in like the pop

culture space, like Lady Gang and the Giggly Squad. And

that's how they've become as big as they are, is by doing the, the

tours of the live shows because everybody wants to be there and, and

hear what they say or hear what questions are answered about some scandal that just

dropped or whatever it may be. And it is different than like a stand up

comedian doing their regular thing. It's them actually

talking and conversating versus doing, you know, something they have

structured and they do every time. Yeah.

Speaking of every time, could you win by betting every time?

Here's a, here's a sportsbook podcast about a gambler.

A lot of gambling going on in these last two stories. The Boulder City

Podcast hosted Roger Gross. Gross.

Gross. Okay, Roger Gross. It's, it's taking the show

live on February 16th with a special in person podcast and

book signing featuring legendary sportsbook executive

and author Art Manteris. Recorded live at

Skinny Bar, the episode brings audiences face to face with

one of the original architects of modern sports betting,

whose career spans the Stardust, Caesar's palace, and the

iconic Superbook in Las Vegas. The event blends

storytelling, audience Q and A and a book signing for

the bookie, showing how podcasts can turn local venues into

must attend experiences without ticket fees,

massive production, or celebrity hype.

And one of the things I've been seeing lately is people used

to do these book tours. They would go on morning radio, local

television, they talk about the book, they'd promote the book, say, hey,

you can get it at Barnes and Noble. But now what we're seeing is

people are wrapping their book release in a podcast tour.

And here's a place called the Skinny Bar. The Boulder

City podcast is inviting them on to do a live show, talk about

the book. Probably get some of those crazy stories from early

Vegas, you know, some of the sports, but, you know, how many friends did you

have that, you know, had their fingers broken for you from trying to, trying to

rob the casino? And you're going to hear all these little stories of the

grit and the dirt and in the seedy side, probably of Las Vegas. I'm

just imagining in my head what gambling would have been like whenever Art

was running the town. And this is. If you're

a gambler. I mean, gambling is running rampant in this country,

but if you like betting and sports betting, here's an. Here's

a way to sit down, hear a story like you would have listened to a

radio station 50, 60 years ago to hear the.

Like this inside information about what really happened and went

down well. And it's kind of a collision of a

lot of different things because, like, yeah, like you said, you know,

book tours, book signings are big, but you don't see them very much

anymore because they're obviously not doing what they used to do. Because there are other

platforms where people can get interest and get people to,

you know, buy their books. But the idea of instead of it just being a

boring signing, where you stand in line and get your. An autograph on your book,

it's a live thing where anybody can ask them questions and you get the

book. And, you know, I did something like this years ago. I want to say

it was at least 10 years ago. I love Bravo. I love reality

shows. I watch all Real Housewives, and I was working in LA

at the time, and Andy Cohen, who's one of the big producers, was there.

It was plugging his book, but it was him in

conversation with, oh, I can't think of her name

now, with a female comedian. So we all went there and sat in the theater

and heard the two of them speak. And then after, he let people stand in

line and get, you know, signatures on his book. So

it's the same idea. It's a. It's mixing the live podcast with a book

or something like that that people are trying to get people to buy or

even just, you know, share. It's really interesting.

I love it. I mean, you hear a couple stories from the book, you may

want to buy the book and the author's there. The subject

of the book is there. You can maybe get it personalized and really walk

away with a cool souvenir or a cool way to remember the

evening. And the tickets probably are 10, 15,

$20. These types of events aren't bank breakers. And

you get to have a night out. It's at a bar, you get a couple

of drinks, maybe some appetizers, hear some stories, you know,

maybe 30, $40 all in. It's just a

unique way to experience an evening with other people who also

like this type of entertainment, like sports betting, you're gonna be in a room, you're

gonna hear these stories and just have a very unique

and interesting night out. And I can see this happening even like we were

talking about with TV shows like Heated. Rivalry is huge right

now. And that's based on a book. So I could see that author doing

this live, you know, podcast interviews, pushing

her latest book, talking about the TV show version. I mean, there's

so many different ways that media companies and publishing companies could tap into

this. It's a great strategy all around. So, again, I like to go

back to think of your podcast. Think of, you know, where do

you operate and where does your community operate and where can you

find your fans and, and kind of plug yourself into that. Could you be a

guest on a podcast like that's happening here on the Boulder City Podcast?

Or is there some kind of event that you can tap into

and just take your podcast live? I promise you, it's a completely different

experience. Like Julie was saying, you have to experience it live.

You've got to do it live one time. You'll be hooked. And you end up

like me, sitting in a theater on a Tuesday night

doing something you love. Because there's just nothing like live

podcasting. It's a whole new game.

And I really believe that this is the future of where podcasting is going to

be going in the next two to three years. So get in early.

I didn't warn you before we started, but this does go

so fast. We've already gone through our six stories.

We're at the end of the show. I like to turn it over one last

time. Anything you'd like to plug, promote, talk about the floor is

yours. Well, thank you. I know. I can't believe how fast it went. I

thought we'd never get through all those stories. Well, I would just love

to say if there's anybody out there listening to this who's been thinking about starting

a podcast or wants to start being a guest, maybe they're an author and they

want to start plugging their book through podcasts. I have a community

where I support people. It's a low cost monthly community called

Podcast yout Story. And it's somewhere where people who are host,

guests, or both come and connect and network. But we also

do monthly workshops, and as you mentioned

earlier, I do a live pitch fest where everybody gets to come and they get

three minutes to pitch themselves as a guest and why people should, you know,

book them and then they get the clip of it after so they can share

it on social. So we do that. We do so many different things. And I

would love to have anybody interested in learning more or growing in

podcasting to come join our community. The podcast, your story,

community membership. And again, you can check it out on my website.

Awesome. Thank you. That sounds like so much fun. If you're ever in

Pittsburgh. I already invited Jolie to Pittsburgh. If you're ever in town, the

stage is for you. Whatever night you want, we're going to book it and

maybe we'll do a. We could do a little pitch fest Pittsburgh.

Oh, my God. That. I am writing it down right now and I was just

talking to somebody about this and I will be saying, we've got a spot in

Pittsburgh. Well, let me tell you about

why, because I have a theater space. You see it here. I'd love for you

to host your show on our theater. It holds 40 seats, but

we can live stream to thousands. This little space has the

same capacity of Madison Square Garden. And I really tease up the offer.

It's hard to say no. I do no contracts. I do no

minimum ticket sales. If you want to do your show here, I'll build you an

event landing page. I'll sell the tickets for you. I will produce

the event, I will record the event for you, and I will give you

back the recording without any ownership. It's your content

for you to use in perpetuity. And at the end of the night, we

sit down together, I show you the ticketing dashboard and we Split the door

50, 50. If you like it, let's do it again. If you don't, we

shake hands and walk away. We tried it and it was a good time. But

I really want people, I want you at home to experience live

podcasting. And I'm doing that by taking all the risk out of it.

So if you have a podcast in the Pittsburgh area, or Bakers,

California, or Bakersfield. Bakersfield, California. Come on

down. If you're ever in town, I will reserve the space for

you and we will put on a live podcast,

Poduty.com,

P-O-D-U-T-Y.com

and unfortunately, that's the end of the show.

And I know what time it is. I don't want to say because I hate

saying goodbye, but it is. Or it was. What

time is it?
