Hey Everybody. Welcome to Poduty and the News for Monday, August 25th.
We've got some great stories coming up, but as you know, we started this podcast
to showcase what you see. Behind me is our podcast theater
outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We are trying to
enlighten people and show people all these things that are happening in the world
of podcasting that aren't just MP3 files that you download to your device

(01:16):
or your app. These are real events happening in the world
all based around podcasting where the audience can come in
and watch a live podcast. And that's what we're building here. That's what we're helping
to showcase from around the world. We got our first story tonight
in Indianapolis. It's the Indy Meets the Mic

equal parts laughs and lingering nightmares from this Salem stage

get your show on the road. How can you figure out your show to
be performed in front of a live audience? There's a lot of upsides to doing
your podcast live and thinking about it as a different form of
entertainment. You know you're already entertaining people because they're

(03:06):

break and front end at the ISN Tool
Dealer Expo, the Tech Shop Live podcast sat down with
CPS Automotive's Dennis Eaton to talk shop,

(03:28):
literally. From AC service gear to
dye detection tools and Motovax preventative
maintenance systems, CPS is rolling out innovations designed to make
technicians jobs faster, cleaner and more efficient. It's a look
under the hood at the tech that keeps coming from the
auto industry. Industries need to get their information out to the

(03:50):
people who can't attend all these conferences. And podcasting live
from the floor is a great way to not only promote the event,
promote your podcast, but share information that needs to get to your
customers. So businesses are doing this all over the place. They're taking their shows to
the road, they're taking them to where their customers are meeting at, and they're
recording these live or they're bringing in talent who can record podcast lives

(04:12):
as a part of the entertainment. So keep that in mind. These are things
that people are looking for. They're looking for live podcasts.
You could be one of the ones on the showroom floor. Next year, our fourth

(04:56):
such a natural part of Jason's Taskmaster journey. I believe

have a huge following on YouTube and they're taking their show on the road.
