This reunion panel was recorded live at Rhode Island Comic Con and later released as a podcast episode. That’s the story we keep seeing over and over.

For four days, live podcast tapings, interviews, and performances take over real venues with real audiences. This is the model Poduty and the News keeps pointing to. Podcasting is no longer confined to studios and feeds. It’s happening live, across neighborhoods, with fans choosing experiences, not just episodes. On Air Fest proves that when audio steps onto the stage, the entire industry shows up.From Industry Floor to Live Mic — Wine Podcasting Goes PublicSource: VinePair on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJxRsEF1g9UThe VinePair Podcast went live from the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium, turning an industry conversation into a live experience.

That’s the pattern we keep seeing on Poduty and the News. When podcasts step into rooms where industries already gather, the show becomes part of the moment. Live podcasting doesn’t replace coverage.
