Howdy, team! I\u2019m here, on a Tuesday. And what a day to have a platform, because now I can tell you to go watch \/ listen to the premiere<\/a> of MUNA\u2019s new song at 11:45AM ET. May we sob together. (The teaser<\/a> made the music sound somewhat upbeat, but you really never know.)<\/p>\n

EXCLUSIVE: Big $$$ in virtual podcast events<\/strong><\/p>\n

In-person podcast tours have shown that people are willing to pay for something beyond a pre-recorded episode. But virtual versions of those shows? In this climate of Zoom fatigue? Oh yeah, baby. In fact, they\u2019re booming.<\/p>\n

Moment House<\/a> has been live-streaming podcast recordings, called \u201cMoments,\u201d since March 2021, and I\u2019m told that the company has sold 140,000 tickets over the course of the 56 that it\u2019s hosted since then. The streams have averaged six-figure payouts for creators; one even reached as high as $500,000. Creators keep all gross revenue (Moment House makes money from a 10 percent service fee on the customer), with many shows returning to the platform quarterly.<\/p>\n
