Joe Santagato has announced a massive 2026 and 2027 North American tour for The Basement Yard alongside co-host Frank Alvarez, capitalizing on a media blitz that included a new Bonobos campaign and a feature in Mashable.
On Modern Wisdom, host Chris Williamson wasted no time pointing out the scale of the show's success, noting, "Yeah. You have one of the biggest podcasts in the world, and you recently sold out Madison Square Garden."
Yet despite the arena-sized accomplishments, the podcast world isn't letting Santagato get too comfortable. During the same episode, Williamson jokingly butchered his guest's name, asking, "Has anyone ever put together one of those, uh, uh, the timeline of Josh Santigo fucking, like, videos over time? I'm gonna make it worse each time."
Beyond the high-minded business talk, Santagato also stopped by the Stiff Socks Podcast for some lighter fare, playing a round of "Joe Guesses the Person." With tour dates stretching deep into 2027, Santagato's transition from early-era YouTube creator to live touring juggernaut is officially cemented.
