Before COVID became a pandemic, live podcast shows had been trending as a great way for podcasters to connect with their podcast audience and augment revenue via live events. Slate was particularly busy in that space.
Now, live podcast events are slowly making a comeback. Witness the latest announcement by podcast network Rooster Teeth. The company was founded in 2003, and is a subsidiary of Otter Media, a WarnerMedia company.
Rooster Teeth’s podcast network The Roost have announced they are hitting the road in 2022 with A Very Normal Podcast Tour, which will feature live versions of some of The Roost’s most beloved and fan-favorite podcasts, including “The Rooster Teeth Podcast”, “Face Jam” and more.
The 10-city national tour kicks off on January 15 at the Stateside Theater in Austin, with award-winning “The Rooster Teeth Podcast” live, hosted by Gustavo Sorola, Barbara Dunkelman and featuring special surprise guests. “Face Jam”, hosted by Michael Jones and Jordan Cwierz, will go live in Chicago on February 11 at Thalia Hall. Each tour stop will feature an opening and headlining podcast, and the full lineup will be announced soon. Tickets will range from $45 to $75. VIP passes will be available and include an exclusive pre-show Q&A with talent as well as a signed poster.
According to The Roost, "they are excited to be back in-person and meet the online audiences that have grown during the pandemic. A Very Normal Podcast Tour will be anything but typical - guests can expect special appearances, zany antics and more surprises of the nature only Rooster Teeth can deliver."
“During the pandemic, it was so important for us to connect with audiences online through our podcasts,” said Gustavo Sorola, Rooster Teeth co-founder and host of “The Rooster Teeth Podcast”. “In 2022, we wanted to do something special for our fans. Now that we’re able to return to live events, we’re so excited to welcome back our longtime fans and also meet new listeners who found us during that time.”
Positioned inside Rooster Teeth and representing more than 280MM views and 12MM audio monthly downloads across its network, The Roost is a top ten network that reaches millennial and Gen Z audiences by bringing the internet’s favorite pop culture, games, and lifestyle podcasts under one roof to Rooster Teeth’s deeply passionate fan community.
“The Roost podcast network has been expanding over the last few years, but more importantly the audiences behind these podcasts are growing and engaging beyond just listening to the podcasts,” said A.J. Feliciano, head of The Roost Podcast Network. “We’re thrilled to be bringing these podcasts to audiences across the country and giving fans another way to experience the content they love.”
Rooster Teeth has announced that “Achievement Hunter Live” - live gaming variety comedy shows - will return with a west coast tour in Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco in March and April.
RTX - the world’s greatest animation, gaming, and entertainment event - will return to the Austin Convention Center and other downtown venues July 1-3.
