Plans for Entertainment Man & The CBOTW Show 2024!

          As you guys know I have been toying around with ideas for both and I have come to this finalized idea for 2024:

• Entertainment Man Podcast will be split into different parts both live and Pre-Recorded-- To start with the normal topic and Interviews episodes will be pre-recorded and premiered on Sundays. Might be hard to have an audience during the day time and the interviews can vary from week to week. However Special episodes for milestone episodes, special episodes and Christmas Specials will be Live with Audio ONLY being posted up on Sundays. Wednesdays Bonus episodes every 2nd week WILL NOW be on YouTube and Audio ONLY. This means both podcasts will be visual (Video) and Audio ONLY. I do not see doing interviews live a viable option as most of them are during the day time as it varies when folks are available to chat with me!
• As for The CBOTW Show, it will be pre-recorded till we reach a certain amount of followers which I haven't yet determined yet what that will be as of right now. However when we reach that then we will be more then likely going live all the time at any given time whenever we are scheduled to record these shows that we recap.

Anyways excited for this next chapter of CBOTW Media moving forward I always have you guys to thank for always supporting us with what we do. That is the post for today and I will speak to you all tomorrow.

End of The Week Updates [12-29-2023]

              This is the last end of the week updates ChrisBOnTheWeb Media is doing for 2023. Who would of thought that I, Kelsie would be filling in for Chris this week as he's pretty busy working on things today and tomorrow before he's off for 2 days for the New Years. As you know Entertainment Man Podcast is off air now for the holidays and returning a week Sunday, who would of think it would be back on the air sooner then we expected? Chris has made it official that he has opened interviews requests for 2024 and you can email him @  entertainmentmanpod@gmail.com if you would like to be a guest on his podcast. 

             The CBOTW Show is in full swing still even with his other podcast off the air, he has been recording non stop and the rumors spreading since I mentioned that Chris is planning a mid week podcast in the New Year on January 3rd, 2024 for his other podcast so sounds like a pop up podcast is coming your way even if it is just posted and not premiered. Not sure what angle he's coming from this idea but time will tell what he's thinking. He's still working on the upcoming Trains, Planes and Automobiles he's working on, plus working on the new Entertainment Man Podcast episode and the schedule table for 2024 before he heads over to the old computer to work on Power Rangers before but we will see how far he gets today as he does have to go out this morning. But that is what we have been up to for ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and  big thank you to Chris for giving me this opportunity, I will talk to you all later and see you around the community!

Kelsie, Community Director of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media

End of The Week Updates [12-22-2023]

              Another week has come to an end... Time for updates and I have a bunch of updates for you guys:

The CBOTW Show: Just a heads up Power Rangers Podcast is going dark for a while till I finish up things. I've been trying to get things done but other things have gotten in the way. Hope by now I am starting to type things up at this moment just before the holidays hit. Kelsie has already announced about the next two series that is on the list, one being with Bob from Static Radio which will be an awesome one and coming out sometimes in 2024. The other is Ghostwriter that will be a project throughout the year on my spare time and will be

Entertainment Man Podcast: One final broadcast for 2023 is tonight at 730 pm EST. My 3rd annual Christmas Special. You guys asked for it and I am going to give it to you guys for the 3rd Christmas in a row. After that will be off the air till Jan 7th, 2024 when the podcast returns. 

Studio Closure: Reminder the CBOTW Media Studios is closed Dec 23rd starting at noon till Dec 26th then opening on the 27th to the 30th then closed for New Years Eve and New Years Day then we're back to our normal schedule. There will be NO blog Monday whatsoever. Kelsie will be around

             Anyways those are the updates, hope you have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays on Sunday and Monday and I will be back for more blogs on Tuesday. 

Chris

Taking Podcasting To The Next Level 2024!

            2024 will be a year of massive growth for both of the podcasts and that is what I want to talk about today:

Entertainment Man Podcast: A regular staple on here on ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and 2024 you will be seeing interviews live on the podcasts YouTube Channel. I know what about the topics if there isn't an interview that will be posted and more then likely premiered as I have been doing over the last almost 2 years now unless I am not available to be there in person for it. Also the Wednesday bonus episodes was originally going to be going all video but changed my mind due to the fact you never know what day interviews can pop up. I know it sounds a bit confusing but I have to be flexible for guests and the fact you guys love that I go live for these interviews and something I have made the decision to actually go live for those. 

The CBOTW Show: Has started to become popular and never thought we'd already be at EP 22 at this moment even tho that many hasn't yet been released and working on some at the moment. Anyways 2024, hopefully we will be seeing some collaborations on The CBOTW Show both with me and as a solo guest. Kelsie has been working on a form for potential guests to put out their ideas for a show. This can really open up the doors for potentially even more permanent hosts down the road.

         So 2024 definitely does look promising for both podcasts and excited for this big plan. I have 2 offers in collaborations already waiting to be scheduled in 2024 plus Larry and I need to finish up Power Rangers but after that our world is our Oyster. Anyways that is the post for today I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Thank You For An Amazing Season!

            I know there is still the Christmas Special left for Entertainment Man Podcast but the 4th season of my podcast is pretty much a wrap for the year! I wanted to take this time to say thank you for an amazing season, all the wonderful guests for coming on the podcast this year. Especially the return of our good friend Shane which you may see him sooner then you think... Hint... hint double hint... LOL! Yeah I'm up to something clearly! 

           This year push a lot of limits for me, from being sick dealing with loss this year, I've managed through it all this year. I can say this, next year will be even BIGGER then this year and I started to type last year thinking it is 2024... Not yet! It is because of you guys Entertainment Man Podcast seen a lot of growth and I will talk about it on the podcast this week on Friday. However 2024, I will be taking things up a level and interviews will be LIVE which for right now you will have to wait till Wednesday for that post as that is the blog post for today. Have a great rest of your day and talk to you all tomorrow! 

Chris

End of The Week Updates [12-08-2023]

            Well another week has come to a close and I think this is my first end of the week updates in quite some time now. I do not remember the last time I did an end of the week last but anyways to the updates:

Blog mishap yesterday: Yeah, I somehow screwed up the blogs. The gaming one was suppose to be going out next Tuesday and the Tyrone Parade post was suppose to be yesterday not this morning. So had to put out the Tyrone blog this morning and this post at the same time.

The CBOTW Show: I have been trying for the longest time to get all the episodes edited and posted and this weekend will be the weekend for recording whether I like it or not I am not going to let anything stand in my way of getting it done. Also the Happy Gilmore Podcast is recorded and awaiting being edited and I have dabbled on it a bit and will while watching the movies and what not. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: As for my podcast things are looking good just making a few adjustments to the podcast for this weekend as there was a bit of setting issue that I was experiencing as I just installed the editing software from my old computer on the main computer. Anyways done and ready to go Sunday afternoon. Also Kelsie, my assistant and resident Graphic Designer has made a new graphic for thumbnails and as for the background it is the same background minus the name of the podcast for YouTube. 

            Anyways that is the blog for today, have a great weekend and as always I will talk to you on Monday with the Halton County Radial Museum Christmas on the Rails post. 

Chris

Let's Talk YouTube!

            YouTube has become a pivotal part of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and The Video Projects Team for almost 18 years now on the history of both group and company. I know I've been asked what's next for us YouTube wise well we don't really know honestly. Probably end up taking another break from the platform again but yet we do not know what the heck is going on yet. We've not reached that point we are happy where we're at this moment. 

           However I've spoken about bringing The CBOTW Show to YouTube as well but it seems to not be a thing not right now as it isn't the right and place for Larry and I to do The CBOTW Show on YouTube as it is not in the cards right now. So nothing is really set in stone at this moment. However I am willing to explore the option for The CBOTW Show or any other podcast down the road but right now I want to focus on Entertainment Man Podcast on both Video and Audio ONLY and The CBOTW Show on Audio ONLY. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

End of The Week Updates [11-24-2023]

              So a lot has happened this week and I do not know where to begin what Chris and the rest of the staff but here we go:

Website: It was time to finally release the 10th anniversary pages and we're sorry we've been slow on releasing it and not the other Staff's fault it is all on me for leaving the Trip down memory lane as I was stumped on something but it is done and happy it's done and released. The schedule for 2024 anniversary will not be released till January 1st, 2024. I will be redoing that page in the month of December and this will be an easier project as I plan on doing table like page as it can be a lot of moving parts to our 10th anniversary.

Entertainment Man Podcast: Chris will be recording and starting to edit the podcast for Sunday to assure it is done for Sunday. Also Chris is deciding whether to close interview requests for the year as he has only 1 spot but he's holding off on that request for right now.

The CBOTW Show: Chris and Larry have recorded Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York Podcasts and Chris is currently editing it and will have it ready for a week from now. He will have 2 weeks of content to fullfill him and big shoutout to him and Larry for giving us these episodes. Chris hopes to finish up the Power Rangers starting on Monday and getting it done by the following weekend at the most so he can work on Dino Fury. 

          That is what's gone on this week and I will be back a week from now on the first end of the week updates on Friday, December 1st, 2023 so have a great weekend and talk to you next Friday.

Mark, Community Director/Site Admin

End of The Week Updates [11-18-2023]

                   It's time for the end of the week updates but before I get into it a little fun fact, 9 years ago today, Chris posted his first ever podcast on this very day. Very cool piece of CBOTW Media history on The Chris B. Podcast. That sure dates us way back in the day almost 10 years ago. Anyways the updates: 

Entertainment Man Podcast: Going back into the style this week for a change, the way Chris did these updates but he has recorded a pile of episodes for back on Wednesday and this Sunday. I believe he's got it scheduled to premiere on Sunday I think. I haven't looked yet. 

The CBOTW Show: As he has mentioned he; switch days with The CBOTW Show so it doesn't align with Entertainment Man Podcast's bonus as 3 is enough to stress him out, he's been trying to lower his stress levels. Speaking of that, he's officially now typing up the Power Rangers Podcast notes and finishing it up for a potential recording sessions this upcoming Thursday coming up. He's also decided to postpone Dino Fury till December 21st, 2023 but has to be discussed between him and Larry.

             That is the updates for the week. Other than that, he's readjusted the website a bit and my little sister Brianna has joined us helping us wherever we need her on the team. Also she can be found on our new shiny Discord Server. Have a great rest of your weekend and week ahead and I will be back on the normal Friday post for another end of the week updates.

Mark, Community Director

End of The Week Updates [11-11-2023]

       Another week has wrapped up for us but first, I want us to remember those who we lost during any of the wars, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War or any of the wars that has gone on the last 20 + years. We will never forget.

     So this week has been chaos for us, from Chris switching gears to Power Rangers to really get it done for the 23rd and that is the ultimate goal and he wants to get both seasons done by Monday or Tuesday so he can start typing up the notes on the other computer behind him on the right side. Also he has been busy with The Royal Winter Fair content and plans to post up a ton of stuff from the day which spans to Sunday on social media then one more a podcast that he says he's going to post to YouTube but not 100% sure as the bonus episodes are still 100% Audio ONLY at the moment. 

       So it is I think he's doing The Great Outdoors end of next week actually of my knowledge what he's told me but all I know is 3 podcasts next week, 2 on Monday and 1 on Wednesday at the most. Also fair warning he may pop up at 1 pm ET on Facebook.com/ChrisBOnTheWeb for a stream but depends if he is busy and has time, also when he gets back as he was suppose to be back in Toronto on personal business but that has been moved to Thursday. Anyway that is the post for the week, I will speak to you all on Saturday as next week is indeed another 6 days of blogging for us, so have a good weekend and week, talk to you all in the community and I will be back here next Saturday for another "End of the Week Updates."

Mark, Community Director

Officially on the New Schedule!

            After last week was an appalling mess in schedule, I start this week with a fresh mind and aspect to what needs to be done this week. One of those things being Power Rangers and already between 5 and 10 episodes completed now. I hope to finish it all of it up by tomorrow so Wednesday, I can start the next season and finish it by Saturday so this way I can start typing to really push the 23rd actually happening. This week I have a lot more time on my hands minus Tuesday, possibly Wednesday and indefinitely Thursday, but between Tuesday and Wednesday I will have time to work on things before my outing for the days. Thursday I will be out of studio at an event in Toronto. 

             I will talk more about that tomorrow on the blog. However this week starts a brand new week with phase 1 with the new schedule for blogs & podcasts. As I said last week blogs and Entertainment Man Podcast are on the normal days but Entertainment Man's bonus episodes are moving a day back to Wednesdays @ 1 pm ET. Now as you guys remember when we brought The CBOTW Show it was on two different days, one day on my own (Tuesdays) and the other one with Larry (On Friday's) I know this means him and I will be rotating weeks, there will be weeks I'm not alone while maintaining a every 2nd week schedule? That's going to be quite a handful I know. However it will be easier as we continue to progress and post to our new schedule. Anyways thanks for reading the blog today and I will as always talk to you tomorrow!

Chris

End of The Week Updates [11-04-2023]

                   It is time for the end of the week updates. I know Chris has been off kilter for the podcasts this week and he's had to deal with the COVID shot this week which knocked him out for 2 days straight but yesterday got so much done and finished which is amazing that he got it finished. He is aiming to work on Power Rangers Beast Morphers all weekend long and he's so fired up to getting it done finally with a brand new schedule that has taken place. Speaking of which we've sort of now adopted the new schedule ahead of next week's change over in our schedule and I think he's wanted to actually change over the schedule sooner due to the overwhelming amount of episodes which this week things really got derailed all together. 

                    Next week is a new week for us and Chris is actually at an event "The Royal Winter Fair" in Toronto. He is excited about returning to the Royal but worried he's gonna get COVID but I doubt it will happen as it won't be as busy on the Thursday till later on in the evening and he's not attending the Royal Horse Show as it is in the evening this year. On top of that he has to finish up Power Rangers Beast Morphers by end of next week if he wants to actually start typing up the notes and getting it up on time. Nothing else happening, however I am starting to put together the schedule page for 2024 for 10th anniversary and already created the drop down as we will be releasing soon, actually November 20th, 2023 for the walk down memory lane, December 1st, 2023 and December 15th, 2023 the 10th Anniversary Schedule.  I hope you have a fantastic weekend and next will be a 6 day blog schedule once again as we have a ton of content coming your way and I will talk to you all next week. 

Mark, Community Director

Getting Into a good rhythm with the schedule!

             The scheduled podcasts have been starting to flow a lot better then normal even though I'd like to actually have The CBOTW Show edited by Sunday night by mid day Monday but in time that will happen. I have to remember Sundays I have the premiere for Entertainment Man Podcast plus having to record The CBOTW Show so it is a bit difficult but hoping this weekend to get into the rhythm of things and finish off the month of October strong to quite strong as winner of Big Brother 10, Dan would say. 

           Also I am still not on the proper schedule for Wednesdays which is normally the bonus episode of the podcast and regular but this week is a bit different as there is no bonus episode this week and there is an interview scheduled for Friday so it's different for this week technically. But I know I will have it all done in time for Friday and Sunday as I'm in a very good rhythm right now and more time to work on Power Rangers a bit more. However it is important that I keep this good rhythm going moving forward and Wednesday will be a day for me recording Friday's episode which won't take too long to record and edit depending if I end up recording over 30 minutes long. Anyways that is today's post and I will speak to you all tomorrow. 

Chris 

End of The Week Updates [10-20-2023]

             Well, I am certainly not Kelsie. She has made the decision to resign from the team, so as you may all know from the posts especially on Facebook, I have been named the next community manager even though it seems like old community managers seem to be coming back all the time. But I can guarantee, I am here to stay on a permanent basis. Now to the updates: Chris has been so busy with events and changing things around the community to a point he's not yet even worked on Power Rangers. He's been stalling up to yesterday he has actually gotten some episodes done and today as well and he hope to have it all watched by end of the weekend to start typing so him and Larry can start recording in the new layout of the studio. 

           As you know and this happened prior to me coming back onto the team as Community Manager, Site Admin & Graphic Designer which we came up with a better title called "Community Director" which will entails what I mentioned, answering the emails, work on the website and graphical ends which isn't too often but weekly mostly. Also the insults towards both Entertainment Man Podcast & The CBOTW Show is getting old. Chris is fed up and he's been threatening to discontinue the podcasts. We do not want that as that has been the heart and soul into ChrisBOnTheWeb Media lately. Those are the updates and please do not be so rough on us, we really don't care about the ratings its more about the views and feedback we go by. We've had a lot of great feedback on the show and the views have been there. Any insults will result in being blocked, just a friendly reminder and I will speak to you all next week for another end of the week updates.

- Mark, Community Director

Ideas are flowing right now!

               There is so much going on in my head right now. I mean idea after idea keeping coming. Monday proved it. I mean I was getting ideas up the Ying yang. Which is good though. I want to have as many ideas as possible because with Entertainment Man Podcast it's all about longevity, I want it around as long as I possibly can and it will be around for a long time, don't worry. I am working all the time on brand new ideas and the list keeps going on and on and right now I am writing new episodes that could take me to the end of the year at least saving what I had for next year.

              The CBOTW Show is starting to shape up. I have been getting ideas and a week tomorrow please expect an additional Halloween podcast and it's not a movie it's from a very, very popular series called "The Simpsons" and it is from one of their Halloween episodes where Homer eats the forbidden donut. I have to dig into that today at some point so I know exactly what season it is. Anyways that is the blog post for today, have a great weekend as Mark will be taking over the blog for tomorrow's usual end of the week updates and I will talk to you all on Monday!

Chris

End of The Week Updates [10-13-2023]

          It is the end of the week, which means I as Community Manager give you guys the updates and I have some updates. First of all Chris has been busy with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media HQ or ChrisBOnTheWeb Studios. As you know, he's been busy with moving the desk around in a complete 360, side desk still in the position it is in even though they moved it to clean out on the carpet. Chris has stated that there is more room to move about and that was one of the key issues with the way the studio was setup originally. If you remember there wasn't a second desk but now has the other one. Studio looks good and a lot better then before.

            Today, Chris is recording Entertainment Man Podcast so he can edit and get it up and ready. He is starting to figure out that episodes on his own should be just uploaded not premiered. Not that he doesn't like hanging out every week with you all, just feels like it just uploading his solo episodes and interviews will be premiered for everyone to listen. He said this more then likely will take place in 2024 if he decides but I enjoy hanging out for half hour to an hour a week but it's his show he decides. There is no updates on Power Rangers Podcast but I know him and Larry talked about it as he updated me last night before going to bed. This weekend he will be in Bomanville Apple Festival and South Simcoe Railway this weekend and there will be content coming out Sunday and Monday both on social media and on this very blog so stay tuned for that. We appreciate the love & support you have given us over the years and thank you for reading the blog each and every week and I will speak to you all next week, have a wonderful weekend.

Kelsie, Community Manager

What's on The Timeline for 2024

            I know there has been questions what the timeline for 2024 looks like and this is what it can look like for 2024:

Entertainment Man Podcast: You can most definitely expect the Podcast back in the lineup for 2024 and it already been mentioned it would be back even for 2025 as well it's planned to return in 2025. Will remain on the days Sundays @ 1 pm EDT (YouTube/Audio ONLY) & every 2nd Thursday @ 1 pm EDT (Audio ONLY)

The CBOTW Show: Will be seeing some changes as with the end of Cosmic Fury we will be starting to work on another series preparing notes for it down the road. However you can expect Cosmic Fury in January/February then I will also be covering the seasons of Corner Gas which is Canadian show. I will be doing one off podcasts for Power Rangers probably with Larry and movies but nothing too strenuous. Later in the year I plan on Full House Seasons. There will be two days an episode will air and will probably rotate per week every 2nd Tuesday with yours truly on my own and every other Friday with Larry and I when we have episode to put out there.

         That is the timeline for next year as we continue on to grow both podcasts and the timeline moving forward into 2024 and things could change for the podcasts but will see how things are going to go. Anyways that is the post for today and have a great weekend and I will talk to you all on Monday as Kelsie will be covering the end of the week updates tomorrow.

                          

CBOTW Media is Focusing on 2 Podcasts

             With all the changes with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media, all 3 of us on the team have decided to primarily focus on Entertainment Man Podcast and The CBOTW Show. Things have actually done really well and why change things up at this moment? Like really? If it is working then there is no need for change. We wanna focus on continuing to producing both of these podcasts as it has really become something special to us and very very popular. 

             Plus I do have a ton of 10th anniversary stuff to plan for 2024 and that will be mainly my focus as well so I have a ton to do over the course of the next year to prepare for what is going to be a very busy busy year with podcasts, blogs, events and 10th anniversary but we have it all under control. Just take things one thing at a time that matters and I have my amazing team to help me out with everything. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post. 

Chris

End of The Week Updates [09-23-2023]

                           Another week has come to an end, it is time for another end of the week updates. Now Chris has been absent the last 2 days due to some mental health reasons but will be back hopefully on Monday. Here's what's been going on with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media:

Website: As I said this morning on a very long winded post of updates, Chris has changed the YouTube page to just "Entertainment Man Podcast" and evidently may be the only channel ChrisBOnTheWeb Media actually owns. Chris is fed up of the negative and trolls on the platform which was one of the reasons he quit. Which you can go back to yesterday's blog hence the reason I moved up the end of the week updates to this morning. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: With the 200th episode now wrapped up he can continue to create episodes and there will be no more YouTube Shorts nor he will not be doing TikTok no more as he's taken those both out of the equation and wants to focus on the main shows for right now. Also he's going back to the weekly shows on YouTube and audio and the every second week bonus episodes on every 2nd Thursday on audio only platforms.

The CBOTW Show: Despite him being off from the day to day operations this weekend, he's gotten back into Power Rangers and really putting the effort to getting it finished so they can officially record finally. 

            Finally Chris is currently under a messenger ban so he can actually answer messages on the Fan Page, so if you message the fan page I will be the one to answer the messages and should be back Thursday evening next week. If he needs more time off you will hear from me but enjoy your weekend and I will talk to you around the community. 

Kelsie

End of The Week Updates? [09-15-2023]

            Another week has come to an end and time for some updates:

Website: As spoken about this morning on Social Media, Kelsie and I jumped on a call late last night and started fiddling around with this website and have officially added the 10th Anniversary tab to the website's menu bar after fiddling around with the code on the menu and the code in the CSS in the back end. Nothing is active where it drops down yet and it will once we finalize the schedule for 2024 and hoping to drop the entire schedule by November 30th, 2023. Full details will be coming on Monday's blog post. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: I have recorded and now editing two podcasts both this Sunday and next Thursdays which will be both on Video (YouTube) & Audio ONLY platforms. Sunday will be the normal 1 pm EDT premiere and next Thursday at 7 pm EDT as everyone is normally at work by then. That will then wrap up some of the big events going on.

The CBOTW Show: Two parts to this update, I am recording today the next episode of The CBOTW Show before recording the next two Entertainment Man's. I will have it done by end of today I hope so I can start working on Power Rangers which is part to the second part is this weekend I hope to get moving on the podcast with Larry and I.

             Anyways those are the massive updates for the week and have been busy busy around the studio and continuing to strive forward with getting things finished so we can get Larry back into the studio cause I know he is anticipating the announcement of his return to the studio. But anyways have a great weekend and I will speak to you all on Monday!

Chris
