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 Brant Wendy 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: 6 Stories Discussed About Live Podcasting 1. Legacy Lounge Takes the Podcast Into the Community A 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 Festival Goalhanger 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 Stage Crimes 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 Content The 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 Experience KUNC’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 Strategy San 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 Conversation These 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.

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" Cassiano https://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 Level Jalen 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 Post 2. Jon Taffer Takes His Podcast Live at Drink Las Vegas The 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 Vegas 3. What It Really Takes to Produce a Live Podcast in Front of a Sold-Out Theater A 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 Times 4. This Is Not a Show About Death Brings a Podcast About Grief to the Live Stage Ryanne 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 Atlanta 5. SXSW Launches a Dedicated Podcast Festival in 2027 SXSW 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: Deadline 6. Philip DeFranco & Alex Pearlman Take Crashing Out on a 12-City Live Tour Philip 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 Tour Key Takeaways A 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.

Spotify Tests a New Podcast “Skip Ahead” Button Source: Tech Radar https://www.techradar.com/audio/spotify/spotify-quietly-added-a-button-to-skip-ads-in-podcasts-except-for-its-own-promotional-content-and-its-sparked-widespread-concern-for-the-future-of-podcasting Spotify is testing a new “Skip ahead” feature for Premium subscribers that can automatically move listeners past portions of podcasts including baked-in sponsorships, introductions, and promotional content. 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-change Katie Price Announces Live Podcast Tour Source: Ary News https://arynews.tv/katie-price-announces-live-podcast-tour Katie Price and her younger sister Sophie are taking The Katie Price Show on a live theatre tour across the UK.

This episode dives deep into the power of niche podcasting and community building with Todd Eury, the founder of the Pharmacy Podcast Network—a pioneering presence in the pharmacy podcasting world. Together with Jeff, they explore how podcasts go from hobby projects to thriving, influential networks that unite and educate listeners and transform industries all while entertaining and inspiring. From live events in Pittsburgh to international networks, conferences, and local community gatherings, this conversation offers an essential playbook for aspiring and experienced podcasters alike. Meet Todd Eury of the Pharmacy Podcast Network! https://www.pharmacypodcast.com/ Todd Eury is the founder of the Pharmacy Podcast Network, a groundbreaking leader in the pharmacy and healthcare podcasting space. Starting the very first podcast in pharmacy back in March 2009, Todd has grown his network to over 85,000 monthly listeners worldwide, featuring 42 shows covering topics from pediatrics to senior care to rare diseases and industry marketing. Based in Pittsburgh, Todd’s innovative approach has turned his podcasting hobby into a thriving business that now includes a public relations agency, RXPR, centered around podcast-driven communications.

Source: Fully Charged https://fullycharged.show/podcasts/podcast-373-lithium-sodium-and-the-race-to-power-our-future/ A podcast about batteries might sound incredibly niche, but that's exactly why I wanted this story for Todd. This episode was recorded live at Latitude Festival and brought battery experts together to discuss everything from five-minute EV charging to sodium-ion technology and battery-powered planes. Todd built the Pharmacy Podcast Network around one highly specialized professional community. Battery technology shows us that the same opportunity exists almost everywhere. Sometimes the best way to grow a podcast isn't to go broader. It's to go deeper. Learn About Podcasting at the Amherst Media Podcast Parlor Source: Amherst Indy https://www.amherstindy.org/2026/08/07/learn-about-podcasting-at-the-amherst-media-podcast-parlor/ Amherst Media is taking podcast discovery offline with its Summer Pod Parlor, bringing local podcasters and community members together at a coffee shop to talk about creating podcasts, exchange ideas, and answer questions. 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 Bourse Source: Coin Week https://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 Museum Source AM NY https://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. This week, Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder brought that community together for a live recording at the Paley Museum in New York. They even brought back their very first guest, Plaxico Burress. What caught my attention was Ryan Clark thanking the people who watched, commented, shared clips, and supported them along the way. Todd, when does someone stop being a listener and start becoming part of your community? BBC’s Gangster Returns With “The Story of the Milkman” Source: BBC https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2026/gangster-story-of-the-milkman-bbc-five-live-podcast BBC Radio 5 Live's Gangster is back with a six-part investigation into Brian Brendan Wright and the 11-year hunt that eventually led to his arrest. The series includes investigators, smugglers, insiders, and people affected by the cocaine trade. But here's what interests me for Todd: Gangster has built a recognizable brand around one specific category and continues finding new stories inside it. Todd has spent more than 15 years doing that with pharmacy. Does going deeper into one subject eventually become your biggest competitive advantage? What Killed Your Startup? Live from Startupfest Source: Beta Kit https://betakit.com/what-killed-your-startup-live-from-startupfest/ The BetaKit Podcast went live from Startupfest in Montréal with a pretty uncomfortable question: What killed your startup? Founders talked about failure, scaling, AI, and what keeps a young company alive. Todd launched the Pharmacy Podcast Network back in 2009. I've taken my own swing by building a physical theater around live podcasting. Neither came with a guarantee. So Todd, after more than 15 years of building something that didn't really have a blueprint when you started, what have you learned about knowing when to take the risk, when to pivot, and when to keep going? Final Thoughts If you’re passionate about podcasting or dreaming of turning your niche interest into a devoted community—this conversation is your roadmap. Consistency, creativity, networking, and authentic connections aren’t just buzzwords—it’s how podcasting’s new era is being built, show by show, story by story.
