In order to celebrate being able to gather with friends once again after a very difficult year, and as part of Target’s Black Beyond Measure program, The Friend Zone and Gettin’ Grown Family Reunion featuring five prominent podcasters and their musician friends joined forces for a livestream event. For this production, Loud Speakers Network brought in Planet X to create a broadcast control room inside a house specifically rented for this broadcast. Planet X provided the cameras, lights, audio equipment, and technicians to produce this live broadcast. The broadcast included real-time interactions between fans on social media and the talent on he program. Such dynamic audience engagement led to live viewership which was more than double what was originally anticipated, and which increase over ten times in views of the recorded footage over the following week.
