(00:00):
Hey, everybody. Welcome to Podutyi and the News for May 5,
2025. This is the only live news podcast recorded
live most of the time. Let's hear that theme music.
It's Poduty and the News with Jeff on the mic. We got stories
tonight that you're gonna like. From Vermont rock shows to career
Reados. Kelly's going live. Yeah, that's big news. And if true crime's your

(00:23):
fix, we've got the twist. Midwest murder is one you can't
miss. All right, we've
got a great show lined up for you today. I say recorded live because usually
we're at the Poduty Live Podcast Theater in downtown Tarentum,
but this past week, western Pennsylvania has had some
seriously bad storms. I just got my Internet back on

(00:44):
Saturday, so I'm recording this episode from my home studio.
No sense of going out there and, and, you know, get
in front of everybody. We'll just do this one live from from home. We're recording
live on streamyard tonight and we've got some great
stories for you. We've got four
stories and I got some upcoming events for you.

(01:06):
Let's go to that first story for Monday, May
5, 2025. We're gonna file this one
under maximizing stage time and ticket
sales in the subcategory of I. I freaking love this.
This comes to us from the Burlington Free Press and Vermont based
musician Troy Millette is turning his passion for

(01:28):
storytelling into a live concert podcast
hybrid experience. Backed by his band the
Fire Below, Millet is combining live music with
podcast style conversations and behind the scenes
insights, offering fans a deeper connection to to the
songs and stories that inspire him. With upcoming shows.

(01:51):
Featuring guests like Weedus, Steve Poltz, Soul
Asylum and REO Speedwagon, this
creative format blurs the line between performance and
podcasting. It's a great example of how artists are
using live podcasts to create immersive
fan driven events that go beyond the typical

(02:12):
concert experience. I love this. This is
100% something like we're trying to do here at the theater. This is an
event includes podcasting, other multimedia
events. You get a different perspective. You get that one on
one feeling of talking to somebody and hearing what they think in real
time and seeing how their brain works. You just don't get that from a

(02:34):
recorded podcast. But seeing this live, I love this.
Congratulations, Troy. This is an amazing thing you're doing.
Again, check the link. All the links for these articles will be
in the show notes. This one comes from Burlington Free Press.
Our second story tonight File Hunter Podcasts
on the News this is the this is the podcast Pduti

(02:56):
and the News, but this one is Podcast on the News and it comes
to us from NBC Connecticut. Spotlighting the Second Act Sessions
podcast. Hosted by Stephanie Carmody. The show
features guests who've made bold career or life
changes, proving it's never too late to choose a new dream.
Each episode offers inspiration for anyone considering a fresh start.

(03:19):
It's a powerful reminder that the next chapter of your story
might just be the most exciting one yet. Now, this isn't quite a live
podcast, but it's fun to see podcasts in the news. Here's a local news
station highlighting Stephanie's new podcast. Second Act Sessions has
a couple episodes already published and she's already getting press
coverage. So this is just a different way for you to think of your show.

(03:41):
How to take it in front of people, how to get those eyeballs on your
show. Our third story tonight,
filed under Seriously Kelly's Going Live.
This comes to us from Radio Inc. Kelly Ripa is bringing her
hit podcast let's Talk Off Camera to live
radio. Starting this week, the show will air on Sirius

(04:03):
XM Radio Andy Channel every Wednesday, giving
fans a chance to hear celebrity interviews and unfiltered
conversations in real time. This move marks another step
in the growing crossover between podcasting and traditional
broadcasting. By going live, Ripa is
tapping into a more immediate connection with her

(04:25):
audience, blending the intimacy of podcasting with the excitement
of live radio. Again, just that next evolution we
keep talking about here at the theater. Podcasts can be more than just
a recording in your home basement, your home office. These are things
you can take out to the public. You can get onto the radio, you can
get onto news coverage. You can do a hybrid event with music

(04:47):
and all kinds of fun things at a festival. Keep these things in mind because
this is what we're trying to do here. And our final story
for May 5th tonight, going to file this under Murder
Mystery with a twist of Midwest. How about
that? This is coming to us from the Rhythm City Casino.
This is a pretty big one. The Midwest Murder Podcast is going

(05:10):
live at Rhythm city casino on June
21, bringing its signature true crime storytelling to
the stage. Host Jonah and Dawn dig into chilling
regional cases, revealing the shocking truths behind small
town headlines. This live show blends investigative
journalism with theater, inviting fans to experience

(05:31):
their favorite podcast in a whole new way. If you're into true
crime and live entertainment, this is your kind of night
out. The best part? Tickets start at just $20,
so here we go again. This is an event and
maybe a form of entertainment you never thought about doing live in front of an
audience. Here's a podcast. Going to a local casino,

(05:54):
going to their theater and having a live show on
Saturday. Saturday night from 6 to 7:30. It's prime time
June 21, so make sure check out all the links in the show notes
for stories today. And let's talk about some of the live shows we have
coming up at the Paduti Live podcast theater. We have the Tarentum Night
Market. I'm doing an open stage so if you want to hang out, just

(06:16):
sit in the room with me and get on stage and do whatever comes

(07:00):
speaker, you're not going to want to miss using improv techniques to
be a better podcaster With Paul Mattingly. This is a
six hour immersive event.
May 24th. We will be there going through these different
techniques, different tactics that you can use to be a better podcast
or a better public speaker or just get in front of people with more confidence.

(07:24):
We have Cuddy Beasy is coming with Super Party Central. We did
move this because of the storms but this will be. He'll be back June
7th from 8 to 9:38 to 10 I
believe it's Super Party Central featuring celebrity host Cuddy
Beezy and more. It's gonna be a lot of fun. Make sure you check the
links and look at what's happening for that night. And look at

(07:46):
this guy. One of my favorite events coming up, the one year
anniversary of P Live Podcast theater. We are
celebrating wisdom. We have a private sponsor buying food
for everybody. We'll feed you, we'll hang out, we'll talk about all
kinds of chaos. That's on June 14th. We're
gonna do our one year anniversary party. Can you believe it? There's a podcast theater

(08:08):
that's been alive and open for one year now here
in Pittsburgh. And look who's back.
Everybody's favorite, the Crips and Corks podcast. They performed
for us back in April. They're coming back in June with a new story
to talk about. I won't spoil it until they announce it
themselves. They're doing the research right now. This is an

(08:30):
immersive performance. They go all in on
