Bossup Wale walks the talk at PLLRS Live
Brooklyn's Pillar speaker series lit up the Dumbo neighborhood
with Grammy nominated rapper Wale in the spotlight
in a candid live conversation well opened up about his sneaker
obsession, hip hop heritage and and global sound shaping his
upcoming album, a project he calls
(05:11):
Diaspora Folk. With his manager Kaz
Laidlaw, I Decide. Wale mixed career stories with sneaker tales,
including a collab that tied him to NBA star Anthony
Edwards. Fans and insiders got an unfiltered look at the grind
behind the music, proving that events like PLLRS not only
connects artists with their audience, but also builds community
(05:33):
around culture, conversation and creativity. And this
was done on a scale that I have never seen. While this
may not have been exactly a podcast up front, it
is a event looking for a podcast and if you go and look at the
pictures of this, they transformed this. I don't like
a creative space. They called it a country club, which I don't have in my
(05:55):
notes. They had merch, they had all kinds of branding around
it and then they had this really high level event. It was very
impressive. This is the type of live events that we're talking about.
While this wasn't exactly a podcast, go look up this
article and see how amazing this whole thing was from
start to finish. It was top notch all the way around and it was an
(06:17):
event looking for a podcast of 100%. Check it out. Our
fifth story today Telluride takes the spotlight on
Next Best Picture this comes to us from Next Best Picture.

Neglia recapped a whirlwind Labor Day weekend packed
with world premieres like Hamnet and Springsteen Deliver Me
From Nowhere along with Sundance Canes and Venice
favorites. Their live recording not only captured the
excitement of the screenings, but also showcased the how podcasts can
(07:01):
turn film festivals into shared experiences for audiences
everywhere. From hidden gems to Hollywood heavyweights, Next
Best Picture proved that live podcasting amplifies the
festival buzz far beyond Telluride's mountains.
I don't know how many times can I tell you what's happening out there. Love
this story. This is a podcast that went to a film festival. They talk
(07:23):
about films. That's what they do at film festivals. And they put this all
together to really connect their their content with
their fans in real life. And story number
six, La Platica from K Fox

Leyva, hosts of the hit Latino podcast La Platica,
