Poduty Podcast Theater FAQ

Poduty Live Podcast Theater is a live podcast studio, recording facility, performance venue, and hybrid event space near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

It was created to help podcasters, creators, performers, businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations transform ideas into professionally produced live experiences.

Unlike a traditional podcast studio, Poduty includes a main stage and room for an in-person audience. Shows can also be professionally recorded and livestreamed.

Poduty Live Podcast Theater is located at 408 Corbet Street, Tarentum, PA 15084.

Tarentum is part of the Greater Pittsburgh region. Poduty is only a few minutes from Route 28 and approximately 25 minutes from Pittsburgh.

Poduty is both a professional podcast studio and a live theater.

Creators can record traditional podcast episodes or perform their podcasts on the main stage in front of an audience using professional audio, video, lighting, and livestream production.

A podcast theater is a performance venue designed specifically to bring podcasts and digital content in front of a live audience.

Hosts and guests perform on a stage while an audience watches and interacts with the show. Professional audio and video systems capture the performance so it can also become a podcast episode, video, livestream, or social media content.

Poduty Live Podcast Theater was founded by podcaster, producer, digital marketer, and live-event creator Jeff Revilla.

Jeff created Poduty around the idea that podcasting does not have to be limited to creators recording alone in a studio. Poduty gives creators a place to perform, meet their audience, collaborate, create professional media, and build community.

Poduty occupies approximately 2,000 square feet in downtown Tarentum, Pennsylvania. The venue includes a main stage, audience space, professional production equipment, livestream capabilities, and flexible areas for live events.
