Early on in Orange Is the New Black, the Netflix show’s only obvious tie to public radio was that its real-life protagonist, Piper Kerman, had unfurled her drug-smuggling and prison-time tale on The Moth: True Stories Told Live. Sometime after, black characters Taystee and Poussey aced a satirical back-and-forth about “white people politics,” gushing about yoga, wine, scheduled sex and “that piece on NPR about hedge funds.” Then creative do-it-all comedian and This American Life contributor Mike Birbiglia shows up with a major role in Season 3. And I just learned that Lauren Lapkus, who plays milquetoast guard Susan Fischer, has a podcast called With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus, where her friends guest-host and she’s always the interviewee. Whaaaa? This isn’t really about Orange Is the New Black, though. Lapkus, along with podcast titans Radiolab, Invisibilia, Reply All and The Truth, are coming to big screens from New York City next week for a drooly, inaugural fan-fest that dubs itself the Lollapalooza of podcasts. Horn quartet The Westerlies will horn and Cocoon Central Dance Team will dance. Like the vaguely synopsized podcasts, we don’t really know what to expect, but also like those podcasts, we’re confident it will deliver.

Cast Party July 28, 8 p.m., $16-$18. Playing at Orleans, Colonnade, Village Square & Santa Fe Station, castparty.org.
