Episode Transcript
Hey everybody, it's time for Poduty and the News for Monday, May 26,
2025. I'm looking extra grizzly because it's a
holiday weekend. Let's hear what's on the show.
It's Poduty and the News with Revilla on the mic serving up
the stories that streamers like stream yards got chats lighten up
the scene and hangry for change fights hunger so clean super fan

Poduty and the News and we're live tonight so grab your headphones
(00:45):
and settle inside Poduty and the News. All right, welcome to
Poduty and the News. I've got five stories for you. Four of them are about
live streaming and one is about a service,
Streamyard. We're filing this one under Talk of the Stream.
The source is Streamyard and they rolled out a new feature that lets creators
showcase live viewer comments directly on screen
(01:08):
during broadcasts. With the new chat overlay,
hosts can highlight questions, reactions and shout outs in
real time across connected platforms. It's a simple but powerful
way to boost engagement and make your audience feel like
part of the show. The feature is available now for users on the core
plan and above. I can't tell you how many times we've seen
(01:30):
this talked about. People wanted to have their comments
on the screen and now not just one at a time, but you
can see the flow, the whole chat processing
in real time. Our second story, we're going to file under
Mic Check full plate. This is coming to us from
WAMC Hangry for a Change Podcast
(01:53):
is going live at the Linda Albany on June
18 for an evening of networking and community driven
conversation. Hosted by chef Greg Silverman,
the show shines a spotlight on the emergency food sector
and the fight against hunger across New York.
Funds raised will support frontline hunger relief efforts,
(02:15):
helping providers access tools and partnerships needed to
meet growing demand. It's storytelling with a
purpose. The mission, to make sure no New Yorker goes on
hungry. What a great way to take your podcast into
the community, support the community and help people get fed.
Some of those food deserts, I live in one. No grocery stores in my
(02:38):
town right now. They're working to bring some in here which will be
great, but anything you can do, take your podcast to help the community.
That's a win in our book. Our third story
tonight filed under Podcast Powers
Activate. Coming to us from Comics Beat the
Superfan podcast made a splash at Comic Con
(03:00):
Revolution in Ontario, Canada this past weekend with a
live panel featuring host Christian Gossett and Kristen
Simon. Though the podcast hasn't officially
launched, this comics industry backed show is already
building buzz with a star studded guest list and
bonus content in the works. Presented by Superfan
(03:22):
Promotions, the upcoming series will feature interviews with
top tier talents like Kelly sue deconick,
Mark Guggenheim and Rodney Barnes.
With extras like art, theme recipes and more,
this podcast is shaping up to be pure fan service in the best
way. One of the things I love about podcasting, you can
(03:44):
take it into niches that support the same type of
topics that you're covering on your podcast. Why not find a
convention, find where the fans are hanging out and be a part
of those type of events. Take your show on the road, find where
people are hanging out and get there.
Our fourth story tonight from the Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me
(04:07):
podcast, filed under Politics, Puppets
and gwar. I always thought this was Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me. He's
been around for a long time. It's an NPR podcast and that's where the source
comes from. But this one gets pretty wild. Wait, Wait, Don't Tell
Me brings a wild spring lineup to NPR.
The May 17 episode of Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me
(04:29):
delivers a delightfully unpredictable mix of
guests featuring actor Josh Gad, Michigan Governor
Gretchen Whitmer and poet Kara Jackson,
taxidermist Amber Makutt,
and, yes, the shock rock Legends of gwar. It's a
chaotic blend of comedy, current events and unexpected
(04:51):
interviews that only
WWDTM
can pull off. Spring has officially sprung and
so has the weird just the legends of live shows.
Wait, Wait, don't tell me they've been doing this for for so long. If you
ever had a chance to see Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me, get out there and
(05:11):
check it out. It's an example of how far you can push live
podcasting. Our final story
of Today podcast Patino
and points. This is sourced by 247 Sports.
The Xavier men's basketball head coach Richard Pitino
is teaming up with Musketeer Reports Rick Brewering
(05:34):
for a live podcast on June 7th at Dana
Gardens. This one's on the pricey side. For a
hundred dollar donation, fans can attend the event, enjoy
drinks and enter a raffle to win courtside seats,
all while supporting the Xavier Men's Basketball Excellence
Fund. The event offers a behind the scenes look at the
(05:56):
Musketeers program and helps fund roster development.
It's podcasting with a purpose and a shot at some premium
seats. We have the tickets, the link to the tickets in the show
notes. All the links for all these articles are in the show notes. We want
to make sure we support the people that are reporting on the news. Our goal
is to bring it to you. What's happening in local podcasting, live
