Poduty and the Podcast News!

What does podcast success look like when you stop measuring everything by downloads?On this episode of Poduty and the News, Jeff Revilla is joined by Wendy Brant, Director of Podfest Expo, to break down six stories from across podcasting, creator media, and live events. The conversation focuses on what happens when podcasters move beyond simply publishing episodes and start building communities that show up, participate, buy tickets, support creators, and create opportunities in the real world.Jeff and Wendy discuss community building, live podcasting, audience growth, creator independence, monetization, event strategy, content repurposing, and long-term sustainability. Across all six stories, one question keeps coming up: are podcasters spending too much time trying to get more listeners when they should be creating more value for the listeners they already have?About Wendy BrantWendy Brant is the Director of Podfest Expo, one of the largest multimedia creator gatherings in the United States. She is also an experienced podcaster and creator who built a show that spent four consecutive years in Apple’s Top 150 Relationship & Family charts, generated more than 1.3 million downloads, and achieved rapid YouTube monetization. Through her work with Podfest Expo and her own creator experience, Wendy brings a practical perspective on audience growth, community, monetization, live events, creator burnout, and building a sustainable podcast brand.Chapters In This Episode:(00:00) - Podcast News for Tuesday September 8, 2026 (01:16) - Meet Our Guest - Wendy Brant of Podfest (11:48) - Legacy Lounge Community Cookout (16:03) - Goalhanger's The Rest Is Fest (22:41) - Crimes of the Centuries Live (26:05) - Hayley Williams and Kathleen Hanna on Music Makes Us (31:35) - KUNC's In the NoCo Live Interview (39:11) - Bitch Talk Approaches 1,000 Episodes (46:34) - Connect with Wendy Brant of Podfest 6 Stories Discussed About Live Podcasting1. Legacy Lounge Takes the Podcast Into the CommunityA local podcast in Steubenville, Ohio turned its mission into a real-world community event. The inaugural Legacy Lounge Community Cookout brought together more than 300 people for food, music, raffles, swimming, kids’ activities, and connections to local churches and nonprofits. The story opens a larger conversation about whether a podcast can be successful by becoming important to a local community, even without massive download numbers.2. Goalhanger Turns a Podcast Network Into a Live FestivalGoalhanger brought 22 shows together for the first The Rest Is Fest at London’s Southbank Centre and sold 26,000 tickets over three days. Roughly 85% of attendees reportedly came specifically to see one particular podcast. Jeff and Wendy discuss what this says about passionate podcast communities, cross-promotion between shows, and how independent creators could apply the same model on a much smaller scale.3. True Crime Meets Local History on the Live Podcast StageCrimes of the Centuries is partnering with the Butler County Historical Society for a live recording built around a late-19th-century local murder case. The event combines true crime, journalism, local history, audience Q&A, and a VIP ticket package. The story creates a discussion about local partnerships, audience expansion, premium experiences, and whether localization could become a smart touring strategy for podcasters.4. Hayley Williams and Kathleen Hanna Turn a Live Conversation Into Evergreen ContentThe Rock & Roll Hall of Fame brought Paramore’s Hayley Williams together with Kathleen Hanna for a sold-out live edition of the Music Makes Us podcast. The conversation was later released as full-length video, extending the value of the original live event. Jeff and Wendy discuss how live podcast recordings can become podcasts, video, clips, social content, and evergreen media long after the audience leaves the room.5. KUNC Turns a Local Life Story Into a Live Podcast ExperienceKUNC’s In the NoCo brought public radio storytelling onto the stage at the Historic Park Theatre in Estes Park, Colorado. More than 100 people attended as Erin O’Toole interviewed restaurateur and former sponsored climber Melissa Strong about climbing, entrepreneurship, surviving a catastrophic electrical accident, recovery, and deciding to sell the restaurants she built. The story shows how strong interviewing and storytelling alone can create a compelling live podcast experience.6. Bitch Talk Proves Independence Can Be a Long-Term StrategySan Francisco’s Bitch Talk is approaching 1,000 episodes after 13 years of independent podcasting. Hosts Erin Lim and Angela Tabora have built the show around Bay Area culture, film, activism, and an Asian American perspective while largely self-funding the podcast through an annual fundraiser and occasional sponsorships. Their story leads into a bigger conversation about independence, authenticity, monetization, longevity, and what podcast success should actually mean.The Bigger ConversationThese six stories represent very different versions of podcast success, from a local cookout serving more than 300 people to a major podcast festival selling 26,000 tickets. Together, they show how podcasters are turning audiences into communities, partnerships, events, content libraries, and sustainable opportunities.For independent creators, the takeaway may be simple: success is not only about how many people press play. It is also about how deeply people care, whether they show up, and what you build together after they become part of the community.Want to livestream and record podcasts like we do?  Check out these links and build your empire!Transistor FM - for podcast hostinghttps://transistor.fm/?via=podutyCastmagic - to make written content from your audio podcasthttps://get.castmagic.io/ugp958dba02xStreamyard - for livestreaming and recording podcast episodeshttps://streamyard.com/pal/c/6282618417446912

Podcasting is no longer just about publishing episodes. It is becoming a launchpad for live events, community building, professional authority, touring, and new business opportunities.In this episode of Poduty and the News, Jeff Revilla is joined by Brandon "BC Babbles" Cassiano to break down six stories showing how podcasting is expanding beyond the traditional recorded show.About Brandon "BC Babbles" Cassianohttps://www.brandoncassiano.com/Brandon Cassiano is a content strategist, entrepreneur, podcaster, and founder of Cassiano Creative.

Knicks Stars Take The Roommates Show to the Next LevelJalen Brunson and Josh Hart are expanding The Roommates Show into a major live event after the Knicks' championship run. The event reportedly sold more than 4,000 tickets in 90 seconds, showing how creators can turn attention and fandom into a large-scale community experience.Source: New York Post2. Jon Taffer Takes His Podcast Live at Drink Las VegasThe Jon Taffer Podcast will be recorded live as part of the Drink Las Vegas hospitality festival. It is a strong example of a podcast becoming programming inside an existing event rather than requiring the creator to build the entire experience from scratch.Source: Drink Las Vegas3. What It Really Takes to Produce a Live Podcast in Front of a Sold-Out TheaterA live production of The Ezra Klein Show demonstrates how much planning, redundancy, and technical coordination go into a professional live podcast. The bigger lesson is that live podcasting now sits somewhere between stage production, broadcast television, and audio engineering.Source: BBN Times4. This Is Not a Show About Death Brings a Podcast About Grief to the Live StageRyanne Sosha is celebrating the one-year anniversary of How Do I Do This with a live recording focused on grief, resilience, healing, and learning how to live well after loss. It shows how live podcasting can deepen the connection between a show and the community that forms around it.Source: FOX 5 Atlanta5. SXSW Launches a Dedicated Podcast Festival in 2027SXSW is launching its first dedicated Podcast Festival in 2027, positioning podcasting alongside Film & TV, Music, Comedy, and Innovation. It is a major sign that podcasting is becoming not just a digital medium, but a live-event and professional industry category of its own.Source: Deadline6. Philip DeFranco & Alex Pearlman Take Crashing Out on a 12-City Live TourPhilip DeFranco and Alex Pearlman are taking Crashing Out Live to 12 cities. The tour shows how creators can turn digital influence and audience loyalty into a repeatable, ticketed live product.Source: Crashing Out TourKey TakeawaysA podcast can be the engine that creates audience, community, authority, and opportunity.Live podcasting can work as a standalone event, a festival activation, a community gathering, or a touring product.Creators do not always need to build their own event. A podcast can become programming inside someone else's conference or festival.Professional live production depends as much on planning and redundancy as it does on cameras, microphones, and streaming technology.Smaller, deeply connected communities can be just as valuable as large audiences when the goal is trust and participation.Podcasting's growing presence at events like SXSW suggests the medium is maturing into a broader live and professional ecosystem.Chapters(00:00) - Podcast News for September 1, 2026 (01:08) - Meet Our Expert Guest Brandon Cassiano (13:49) - Knicks Stars Take The Roommates Show to the Next Level (18:15) - Jon Taffer Takes His Podcast Live at Drink Las Vegas (21:28) - What It Really Takes to Produce a Live Podcast in Front of a Sold-Out Theater (27:32) - This Is Not a Show About Death Brings a Podcast About Grief to the Live Stage (31:09) - SXSW Launches a Dedicated Podcast Festival in 2027 (34:16) - Philip DeFranco & Alex Pearlman Take Crashing Out on a 12-City Live Tour (38:47) - Connect with our guest Brandon ""BC Babbles"" Cassiano About PodutyPoduty is focused on helping podcasters and creators take their shows beyond the feed and into live, hybrid, and in-person experiences.

The feature does not apply to advertising sold directly by Spotify, and Spotify says it is testing the feature as part of efforts to make podcast listening more intuitive. Some publishers and creators have raised concerns that easier ad skipping could affect the value of host-read and embedded podcast advertising. Spotify says it has seen listeners reinvest the time they save into consuming more podcast content and does not expect the feature to negatively affect creator monetization.Podnews has since reported that this was a bug that the skipping feature did not work on their own ads. https://podnews.net/update/youtube-views-changeKatie Price Announces Live Podcast TourSource: Ary Newshttps://arynews.tv/katie-price-announces-live-podcast-tourKatie Price and her younger sister Sophie are taking The Katie Price Show on a live theatre tour across the UK.

I love this because the podcast isn't necessarily the final product. It's the reason people gather. Todd has spent years building a community around pharmacy podcasting, so I want to ask him: What changes when we stop thinking about listeners as an audience and start thinking about them as a community?Money Talks: ANA’s New Podcast Will Debut Live on the Pittsburgh BourseSource: Coin Weekhttps://coinweek.com/money-talks-anas-new-podcast-will-debut-live-on-the-pittsburgh-bourse/The American Numismatic Association is launching a podcast entirely about coins, and they're doing something incredibly smart. Instead of recording the first episode in a studio and then trying to find coin collectors, they're recording it live at the World’s Fair of Money in Pittsburgh, surrounded by collectors, dealers, researchers, museums, and industry experts. Todd did something similar by building a media network specifically for pharmacy. So Todd, if you know exactly who your audience is, why wouldn't you take the microphone directly to them?The Pivot Podcast Hosts Live Show at the Paley MuseumSource AM NYhttps://www.amny.com/sports/the-pivot-podcast-paley-museum-8-6-26/The Pivot Podcast started in 2022 and has grown into an Emmy-nominated show with a passionate audience.

For independent podcasters, it’s a reminder that a small, passionate audience will outperform a large, passive one every time.From Podcast Feed to Front Row: Draymond Green Goes LiveSource: Audacyhttps://www.audacy.com/contests/win-passes-to-the-draymond-green-show-podcast-tapingDraymond Green took his podcast out of the feed and into a real room during All-Star Weekend. The key takeaway wasn’t celebrity, it was timing and access. By tying a live show to a larger moment, the podcast became an event. Smaller podcasters can apply this by anchoring live experiences to moments their audience already cares about.Ryan Tubridy Brings the Podcast to the Opera HouseSource: Cork Beohttps://www.corkbeo.ie/culture/whats-on-news/ryan-tubridy-live-podcast-onstage-33384686Ryan Tubridy is charging real ticket prices for a live podcast built around conversation, storytelling, and audience participation.

By recording in the room where the conversation was already happening, the podcaster gained instant authority and access to thought leaders. The lesson here is simple: conferences aren’t just for networking, they’re content engines.WoW Midnight Presents: Northrend LiveSource: MMO Championhttps://www.mmo-champion.com/content/13989-WoW-Midnight-Presents-Northrend-Live-at-Illuminarium-Toronto-February-21Blizzard’s Northrend Live event blended in-person attendance with livestreamed programming, creator segments, and interactive experiences. While it isn’t labeled a podcast, it uses many of the same tools. The takeaway for podcasters is that audiences want moments, not just episodes. Live, scheduled, participatory content creates urgency and connection.Is That a Podcast… or Just Cheap TV?Source: Vulturehttps://www.vulture.com/article/pete-davidson-netflix-podcast-or-cheap-tv.htmlThe Pete Davidson Show on Netflix raised a bigger question about what a podcast even is anymore. As large platforms blur the line between podcasting and low-cost television, independent creators gain clarity. Podcasting’s real advantage isn’t cinematic production or celebrity, it’s ownership, openness, and audience relationship. When the definition gets fuzzy, smaller podcasters should double down on what they control.Subscribe, Listen, and Leave a Review!Catch the replay and check out show notes, guest links, and more at https://news.poduty.com/.We'd love to hear you feedback!

Our goal with all of the changes, both bringing Evolutions to SXSW and our primary event to NYC is to evolve with the industry.The first half of each year is so overflowing with events that we made the decision to combine Sounds Profitable's three previous years of events at SXSW with our goals to grow Podcast Movement. This allowed us to not only put a bigger spotlight on podcasting but make a compelling case for why podcasters should show up en masse to larger creator and entertainment events like SXSW. We hope that our choice not to require SXSW passes nor to sell tickets to our space shows how serious we are about proving our goals to continue growing and supporting this industry.We'll have more to announce soon about NYC, which I'm somehow even more excited about because I believe it addresses all aspects of the industry as the unique pieces they are, providing options for everyone.And for those who can't make it: all our content, like podcasting, is completely free and we are working hard for a quick turn around.Connect with the Poduty CommunityEveryone featured on the show becomes part of the "Poduty Crew"—head to news.poduty.com to see all past guests, upcoming live events, and how you can join the thriving podcast community based right here at the Poduty Podcast Theater in Pittsburgh.Subscribe, Listen, and Leave a Review!Catch the replay and check out show notes, guest links, and more at news.poduty.com.
