Former NFL punter and current podcast host, Pat McAfee, found a unique way to raise hopes for the crew of a submersible vessel that went missing while exploring the wreckage of Titanic. As the whole world awaits updates on the lost vessel, Pat took to his show, The Pat McAfee Show, to make a bold claim. He stated that if he could make a half-court shot, then the five missing people would be alive.
Pat’s stunt had the audience at the edge of their seats as he declared that the universe would let them know if there was still a chance they would be found. Standing way beyond the arc, Pat took aim and landed the shot, all while being filmed on what appeared to be a full-size basketball court.
The podcast studio, it seems, comes with a basketball court on the side. His ability to make the shot on a dime sparked interest and spectators who watched may have wondered how it was even possible. Pat’s show illustrates that in today’s world, you don’t require a big studio to reach billions of people globally.
In 2023, all it takes is a little space innovated to take content creation to another level. Pat’s show has proven that podcast studios can be more elaborate than expected. The basketball court seems to form part of the show’s set, and it is likely to remain off-limits once the show goes live.
It’s a heartening occurrence to know that podcasts are changing the nature of content creation. With incredibly innovative spaces and efforts, individuals can produce quality content while keeping the audience entertained. It may not change the fate of the missing submersible vessel, but Pat’s optimism and his successful shot at least made the wait for updates a little bit more bearable for the people waiting to hear news.
