The Popcast Live!

Coming soon to a theater near you. Near-ISH.

“What if we did a podcast episode, but in front of in-real-life people?” we asked ourselves, even though we were highly aware that when God made us, the box checked was for “podcasting” and not “stage performers.” 

“And instead of just talking at a table like other boring podcast live shows,” we continued hypothesizing, “what if we did a show that has visual elements, special video packages, fun segments, notable guests, audience interaction, and games?”

No one ever answered if all these what-ifs were a good idea, SO WE ARE DOING IT ANYWAY, and you can join us IN PERSON at one of our live shows this June in Dallas or Chicago! 

These two-hour live shows will have the same heart as the weekly episodes but with all the best parts blown out for in-person consumption. Best of all? No edits, no censors, no takebacks, because it’s LIVE.

This year, we’re also thrilled to announce that we will also be including a pre-show 30-minute LIVE Q & AUA available for VIPs at both shows. In lieu of a Meet and Greet, this change allows us to keep the chaos high while offering a VIP ticket experience to more attendees.

You may be wondering, “What is a Q & AUA?” 

Short for “Question and Ask-Us-Anything,” just think regular monthly AUA, but more unhinged and chaotic because it’s in person. These Q & AUAs will feature Knox and Jamie answering questions submitted from VIPs with Erin moderating, wrangling, and reminding Jamie to take her night gummy at the appropriate time.

We promise you’ll want to be in the room where it happens because while you probably won’t be educated on anything that matters, we can guarantee that you will be entertained.

  • RSVP here by June 14
  • Info:
    DALLAS: We learned our venue filed bankruptcy from the internet so we had to cancel this event. We should not have predicted that movie theaters would start closing in 2024. That is on us.
    CHICAGO
    Meet at 11:45 am on Saturday, June 22 at The Alamo Drafthouse’s Video Vortex bar (address: 3519 N Clark St. Suite C301 – on the third floor). They open at noon. There’s a garage with 300+ parking spaces attached to the venue, but it is the kickoff of Chicago Pride Fest, so we anticipate parking will be a challenge.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I get food and drinks at the venue?
Both venues have a full service bar and tons of food in the area! Check the City Guides for food recs.

Can I bring in a backpack? 
According to the venue (not us) there are rules. For Dallas, bags up to 12” x 6” x 12” are allowed in the venue. For Chicago, the only bags allowed inside must be smaller than 12 inches by 12 inches. All bags will be searched prior to entry. Bags that are not clear will be subject to additional search.

Where do I park?
For Dallas: Park in the front parking lot near the Southside Ballroom Entrance. Gilley’s Dallas has over 1100 secure parking spots for your convenience. These spaces are monitored and patrolled by neighborhood security along with other lots and buildings on Botham Jean Blvd. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Parking pricing varies on lot and event.

For Chicago: While the Vic Theatre does not have any parking, there are a few parking lots within close distance to the theater and some street parking options. Please try the parking garage across the street at 3130 Sheffield Ave.

I’m a VIP coming to the Q+AUA. Can I get leave and get food after?
You sure can! Just make sure you save your seat and keep your phone (ticket) and VIP badge with you to get back into the venue.

I have a VIP ticket, but my friend has P2 or P3 ticket. Can they come with me?
To enter the building at the VIP time, you have to have a VIP ticket. Preferred 2 and Preferred 3 ticket holders will not be allowed into the venue at VIP time, only at their designated time.

I can no longer use my ticket. What do I do?
You can sell your tickets! We recommend posting on socials and posting in comments or on the Community tab on Patreon (if you’re a Patron). There are no refunds.

I pre-ordered merch. When does it arrive?
