Why Did The Collab Podcast Page Went Away?

               As you know the collaboration podcast went away recently and there is a reason as an idea came to me, yes an idea to me and with Steven and I doing that one collaboration which is now part of The CBOTW Show Podcast that is where this idea came to me putting Steven as the Exec Producer as he is going to be running things for the most part and I trust him enough. As you know hes covering Masterchef, Masterchef Junior, Gordon Ramsey's 24 Hours To Hell and Back and Hell's Kitchen and of course the addition of Power Rangers Podcast in the mix, that is one of the reasons I decided to do this endeavor and I think it is a great idea and never know this could be something that I could be doing for many years now, new shows and old even if Everything About Reality TV Podcast stops at anytime, I certainly have something to fall back on and honestly just doing collabs here and there it won't be much to do in the long run and it would be pretty quiet so this is definitely opportunity not just knocking but banging the door right down and I cannot take away this opportunity. So if you understand where I am coming from with this post, this sets things up for me for the future. 


                So I did all of this for a certain reason but mind you nothing is changing, Power Rangers Podcast is here to stay and we got ton of content on that podcast. One other thing I had some technical issues with the player catching the views as it updates every 7 - 10 days which it never did before and honestly people wasn't listening in honestly so this is where this entire idea for The CBOTW Show came into play. Honestly I think the more platforms that we are on the better we get more listens and fans all together. I have so many more opportunities with the podcasts being on one dedicated feed and I honestly think Steven can do this running the podcast as the Exec Producer as I cannot run two of them so that is why he is named the Executive Producer with me still named as the Founder as I Originally started this podcast 2 years ago almost. I think in the end this is the right decision to make and I am just happier with the plan moving forward and hope this explains a bit why I made this move and I kind of figured Everything About Reality TV won't be around forever as shows will end at some point but yes new shows will come out but least this brand new idea, I have options now and that is what matters.

Power Rangers Podcast Ready To Go!

             Due to Chris being unavailable today for unforseen circumstances, I am going to write the post for him as he has quite the team here at CBOTW HQ and around the world too as well. As of yesterday morning, he has officially completed the notes and boy I tell you it is a doosey. I can say he's written 44 pages of notes but Chris and Larry have done that before and I am sure when it comes to the guys recording a week today, they will give you a good long good old podcast. They are known for that and enjoy the longer episodes that they record for you guys. So Larry and Chris are going to be meeting up early in the AM, not like 7 or 8 am but little after 9 am over at his end and going to get going on recording bright and early. The one thing Chris has mentioned to us and the entire team behind Chris B On The Web is minus Larry who doesn't know about this yet but will in time and that is the podcast is under The CBOTW Show after a 2 Year Hiatus from the podcast being active and operating. Chris will be talking to Larry this week about it and that he has placed the podcast under that. However he will explain on Wednesday why the Collab Page went away on the Wednesday post. 


                The Podcast is a little less then a week away and we're all excited to show you guys what we have been working on in the past several months and on behalf we give our apologies for the lateness of this podcast and as he has said in the past the two of them are planning to bring out 4 more episodes with a total of 6 this year and if all goes well, never know the two boys may do more episodes per year but they try and keep to the twice a year thing if possible. I know Chris is not scheduled to start the next phase which is Power Rangers Time Force and Power Rangers Wild Force this week as he is taking time for himself as he has worked hours and hours night and day on the notes and he is probably the most dedicated person with that podcast ever, both of them are. 




The CBOTW Team

The CBOTW Show Is Back After a 2 Year Hiatus!

                 It has been nearly 2 Years since The CBOTW Show has gone off the air abruptly and after this long hiatus, the podcast is officially is back! It will be a new feed and new start to it however I am currently having issues with the account on Apple so I have to somehow fix that issue tomorrow or Monday at some point when I get a chance. So the podcast now compare to before where we had Last Man Standing, Music City CMT (Which can be found on Everything About Reality TV) and Power Rangers Podcast. However there is one of those that I have listed that is guaranteed to come back however we are adding onto the podcast and here is what you can see on the podcast this year (2020):

Chris (Myself) and Larry:

- Power Rangers Podcast: It'll continue on the Podcast as it did originally when we first started this journey almost 2 years ago and we are proud it is returning to the podcast where it began it's journey.

Steven:

- Gordon Ramsey's 24 Hours To Hell and Back

- Masterchef

- Masterchef Junior

- Hell's Kitchen


                     There is the list of and as you guys can see Steven is the main person behind this podcast, he has majority of Executive Producer role then I do. I think I am more just a producer at this point as I play a low key part of the podcast but Steven is the man to come to when it comes to the first contact for the podcast and I will be sure to forward the message to him if you guys got a question for the podcast. I did have a thought about having separate emails and that is what we are going to plan on doing moving forward but announcement to come this week for you guys.

Power Rangers Podcast Is Returning!

               So this is the official announcement for the Power Rangers Podcast which isn't a collaboration podcast anymore and I will get into details about this on Saturday's blog post when I make an official announce for you guys which is Huge News for you guys! Anyways as you know rumors and speculations for weeks that we are indeed close to coming back and yes I have been working long hours to getting the notes done and i can say officially that I am at the tail end of the podcast notes which means a week Sunday, Larry and I will be back together recording the 2 podcasts finally. Also note that when I was at the other desk It was not set for 2 boom arms as I have said in the past posts but now that the setup is very much done and ready and all we really have to do from here on our is to actually finish the notes and get it done. I should be done by the end of the weekend at the most, hoping by the end of the week. After that I will be taking a week off from preparing Power Rangers Time Force and also Power Rangers Wild Force seasons which I plan to actually get going on these for June as time will be indeed ticking.


                Larry doesn't know about this news yet as I haven't spoken to him since Sunday and he has not been online lately due to personal obligations which is fine and gives me time to finish things up and print them off and get them into the folder and ready to go for a week Sunday. I know in the end I will deserve a break from the Power Rangers Podcast once I am done as after a week Sunday I will end up in the editing process of the Podcast and hopefully have something up for you guys end of that week honestly so you have something to listen to. I want to also remind you guys that Larry and I will be doing 3 recording sessions this year so there will be a ton of content for you guys this year and excited to be bringing 3 of them out this year. Also that we are catching up on things from last year still as we did not record a second set of 2 seasons so we are catching up but come June we will be back on the right track again and raring to go for another one come June and October.

Minor Changes To Everything About Reality TV Podcast

              I did not think about changes would be made again once again however I am glad this is done in the Pre-Season, it could of been a lot rougher mid season but however that is now besides the point and I am going to explain everything to what is going on. Yes I realize there has been no blog is 2 days now and one of the reasons is because I slept half the day actually. Well to be honest with you guys I wrote this at 3 in the morning this morning due to the fact I couldn't sleep at all. However as you guys know from the video I posted on Social Media last night, that Jasmine is no longer hosting the Big Brother Canada Season 8 and Big Brother US Season 22 Recaps due to commitment with work which is totally understandable and we discussed things and Jasmine isn't going anywhere as their going to be still involved with Everything About Reality TV Podcast from a Behind The Scenes standpoint. What does this mean? Jasmine will be in charge of things behind the scenes from getting guests on the podcast each week hopefully to letting me know when Reality TV Shows are going to be starting and Season Finales and so on. What does this mean for Big Brother Canada coming up? Well yours truly will be taking on the role on host for this season at least and you never know this could open the doors with the guests we have on this season to possible more permanent Host for Big Brother US 22 in the summer. These were all Jasmine's ideas and I totally agree and this is something we should of done from get go but that's OK. It's a learning curve as this is the first time and we sure have some ideas moving forward.


             Anyways that is what is going to happen and I already posed an idea to my team and if we add something I will be sure to announce it here on the blog at some point in very near future for right now we are still currently on Audio ONLY and looks like I will be back doing Big Brother Canada Recaps again this year and looks like Larry and I will be doing a Finale Podcast as well. So some positive things out of but yea I know I was excited to be sharing the podcast with not just myself but other people as well but in a way I still am, Jasmine is still part of the team and involved but just in a different way. The way I think about it is there is a positive outlook to the situation honestly and I am still a very happy Exec Producer and Host. Maybe in a few months time we will find a permanent host for Big Brother Recaps. However this is not the right time and in time we will work on the next step. Right now it is one step at a time and that is what we plan on doing from here on out. I got such a supportive team CBOTW wise, podcast wise as well and they respect any decision that we make moving forward.

Everything About Reality TV (Mistakes I Have Made)

             In today's blog post, I want to fess up to some things that I made a mistake on in the last 4 years. I know I cannot dwell in the past but I wanna fess up some of my mistakes I have made. Anyways here is the list and it's not too many mistakes but stuff I have learned from in the past:

1) Sticking to a schedule- That was a problem and a half from the get go which has been on going since we went to Audio ONLY either being an hour or two late or a day or a couple of days late. However recently I managed to stay on the right track and this issue has finally subsided and I am really right into it. Even find myself recording the night before at times but that is OK least I am ahead of schedule that way.

2) Walking Away From Big Brother US Seasons- Honestly I have either not been feeling like doing Big Brother Recaps for the US Seasons or leaving in the middle of the season which I did that for Season 21 and I was a few weeks short of it ending the season so that was a biggest mistake and I paid for it too in the end with losing a couple of subscribers and I understand why.

3) Audio Issues- I have had a few technical issues with the side of the microphone where the microphone went in and out but honestly I think it came down to the levels on the mixer which honestly it has been fixed and sounding a lot better now and getting better each and every episode and it will just get better from here on out.

4)  Doing Too Much All At Once- Covering Survivor, Big Brother, Big Brother Canada, Amazing Race, Amazing Race Canada, Celebrity Big Brother and Music City all at once and it wasn't easy and it was doubtly the cause of my major burnout and another reason I will state below in my closing statement to this post.


                Those are the 4 biggest mistakes that I have made but with Jasmine now on board on the podcast, it will definitely help me and I will not feel that entire pressure on me. That is probably the reason I wanted out for the longest time honestly and November I said this was it the 12th season was it but nope CBOTW and Everything About Reality TV is continuing on and the podcast lives on and the road to the 250th Episode which will be recorded this weekend. Anyways I have learned from the mistakes and I shouldn't give up so easily like I did and the longer I am a podcaster, the more I get the experience and don't forget I have been in Online Media for 14 years now. 




Chris

Kept Questioning Am I Sure of My Decision?

            The last few weeks since the end of the 12th Season of Everything About Reality TV if I was sure I really wanted to continue this if that passion for the podcast is still there after 4 years now. Hearing any of the Reality TV Show themes just gives me that strength to continue on and gets me extremely hyped for the next season coming up. Not just the fact this is Season 40 of Survivor but the fact we have a new team member joining us, Jasmine and my goal of bringing a team for this podcast on it has completed what I wanted to accomplished especially after a year of planning this it has come to a full circle and we are close to almost a complete schedule for the podcast. Not only Jasmine will be covering Big Brother Canada but also Big Brother 22 in the States so that is indeed exciting to do and I will not have a repeat of last year where I quit almost at the end of the season. This takes off the pressure off of me and as well helps the podcast grow even more and we are all about growth on this podcast in the end and that is exactly what we are doing with the podcast. So was my decision the right decision? Yes this was the right decision and proud of this decision too.


             Where did this come out of? Well when I was at the open auditions for Big Brother Canada and after I was done that is when I looked at my phone to realize that I had pile of emails with the title "Re: Everything About Reality TV" when I got home from Toronto from a very long day with Eric and I did look in the morning that there was some emails too and I told him it was overwhelming response to the "This is my final season" and made me realize this was a mistake ending it on a high note when I believe I found out that IHeartRadio picked us up out of nowhere so we must have an unique podcast that interested them so that is definitely a bonus for us and it isn't easy to get onto IHeartRadio. So to leave the podcast when we are on big time platforms probably not the right time so that definitely has a big impact on the decision but in the end I am doing this for you guys the fans and you guys come first and since the decision was made everything seems to have come into place weeks later so everything is coming together and with 2 weeks till the start of our 13th Season begins we're excited to what is to come on Feb 5th @ 9 pm EST.

Survivor Will Be On For 10 More Years?!

            My friend said that he's heard that Survivor which is one of the shows that is covered on Everything About Reality TV will be around for at least another 10 years?! I looked and nothing at all and honestly I need him to show me where he found this information but if this is true this is good news for the podcast for being around for many more years to come. Some how I just cannot find anything so something seems fishy but I will ask Eric he knows where to find the source of the article. However you know I would like to keep this podcast going for many more years to come and honestly as you know I have been feeling down a lot more last year worrying about the future of the podcast and what would I do afterwards but that is all figured out and not to worry about it till the time comes. Honestly this does make me happy to know the show is going to be around longer so this means the podcast will definitely around but again I just do not know what to expect if it will be back but for crying out loud we haven't even start Season 40 yet and we do not know if they will go beyond Season 40 years we just do not know! 


             It is all about the network if they want to renew it and also of course it is about the viewership if they are getting the views which they have been around the 8 - 10 million views as I did check so I can definitely see it coming back but I just do not want to get too ahead of ourselves right now. The thing we need focus on is Survivor: Winners At War, Big Brother Canada 8 and Amazing Race 32, followed by Big Brother 22 and Amazing Race Canada so we have to focus on now not later and him telling me this did get me excited and at the same time overwhelmed and anything gets me overwhelmed very easily but I will be keeping this in the back of my mind but I am currently focusing on the present and you never know this could happen as the show hasn't really gone dry yet and it's always exciting every single season and it really makes me think hey they are coming up with new and exciting ideas and definitely makes worth watching the show each week that it is. There is a bit of what I have heard but do not know if it's true and if you hear or find the article please put it in the comments below as I want to see something stating this.

Was Excited To Be Recording This Morning!

          This morning I took to recording 2 more episodes as I wanna start typing up the Power Rangers Podcast as time is definitely to work on it this weekend and will be taking the time and effort to get it done. I am currently got one day in the back of my mind right now to the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast when we wanna record and trust me it isn't long from now and we are close to it. However that is not what this post is about, this post is about me recording again this morning which by the time you see this they will have been recorded and ready for the next phase which is the editing phase of this all. Either way we will have a podcast out the next two weeks on a Tuesday @ 9 pm EST but then we shift to Wednesday, February 5th, 2020 when we post up a week in advance to the premiere and sets the ton for our 13th season of the Podcast. Either way we are gearing up for this season and excited to have recorded this morning as we need to keep the ball rolling and that is honestly what we are doing. I know I had a good pace with the collaboration podcast but its again stopped but all I need to do is type. 


           I am looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say about the upcoming podcasts that are coming out and working on some new ideas constantly to add on to the list of Off Season stuff and things have been evolving constantly and we are not going off the air anytime soon and Yes I know I said that in the past to the point I was gonna cancel the podcast from any newer episodes but hey we're still here and were still on the air. Also Eric and Jasmine have given me ideas that I wanna do so I am planning on going with them this off season and we got a bunch of stuff planned in the next week or so and excited for you guys to hear it and let's just say one of em will include a revisit to a podcast I did a year ago. That is only a hint and you will see when the time is right you will hear it but were at least a week and a half away from it going up. Honestly it feels good to be back in the saddle so to speak and excited the fact I'm recording stuff again and hope you enjoy what is coming out in the weeks coming!

Everything About Reality TV Updates!

             I do have some updates with the Podcast; First thing I would like to say the links page here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com have been updated as you know we were working on the players on the site so you could listen in but that proved to lag the heck out of the website however that could of my PC lagging but I do not want people having a laggy website so I have decided to go back to the links list which has proved to work here on the site so you can pick where you wanna go to tune into the podcast. I wasted the time when I could of been recording episodes for the 14th and also I could of been typing up the notes for Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast which will be needing to be recorded soon as we are going to be recorded. So there was time well wasted and it is nothing but my fault when I should of tested it as I went on and if I seen the fact that it was lagging I would of stopped sooner and could of been working on other things like the ones I mentioned above, I could of been working on it sooner but nooooo. I messed up and I admit it entirely... I fess up my mistake and now I gotta work extra hard.  I know the schedule with this studio reno but I will have more information later on that but that also makes things difficult to get things done but been trying hard lately.


            Now schedule wise I do know the next 3 - 4 weeks schedule for the podcast and what is planned for the next 3 - 4 weeks so here is what is going to go on schedule wise for the podcast:

Tuesday, January 14th, 2020 (Tomorrow): 9 pm EST: Amazing Race Back To Basics Podcast

Tuesday, January 21st, 2020: 9 pm EST: Survivor All-Stars 2 Podcast

Tuesday, January 28th, 2020: 9 pm EST: Big Brother Canada Related Podcast (Topic within the podcast to be determined)

Wednesday, February 5th, 2020: 9 pm EST: (Season 13 Starts) Survivor Winners At War Preview Podcast

Thursday, February 13th, 2020: 9 pm EST: Survivor Winners At War RECAP (Starts)

           
             One last little side note to put in this, I have been looking up Big Brother Canada so looks like a possibility of a March 4th so which means February 29th Jasmine will have a Preview Podcast will be out to you guys, however this isn't an official announcement from Big Brother Canada themselves so this is just speculation that we could see a March 4th premiere. Announcement will come once we know exactly, I will make the official podcast post for the podcast.

New Addition To Everything About Reality TV and Winter/Spring Schedule 2020!

                It is with my great pleasure and honor to introduce Jasmine to the team as they will be covering Big Brother Canada Season 8 in the Winter/Spring season in February or March of 2020. I am for once excited for this new opportunity to come and both of us are excite to what is coming. Now I know last year when I covered it I did it twice a week but this week we both agreed Jasmine will be covering it once a week on a new day. Anyways here is the time table for the Winter/Spring 2020:

Thursdays, 9 pm EST: Survivor 40- Winners At War RECAP (With Me, Chris, Starting Thursday, February 13th, 2020)

Saturdays, 9 pm EST: Big Brother Canada Season 8 RECAP (With Jasmine, Date to be Announced Soon)

Amazing Race 32: I am awaiting on the news for this coming season and I just do not know when to expect it. It could be in the Spring time or it could be in the Fall on top of Survivor 41 if Survivor is confirmed for a 41st season but right now I am keeping the show off the timetable for now and I am more then likely putting it on the waiting to be scheduled but they said it will be out mid season in 2020 so I am guessing either the winter or the spring sometime but again this can change and never know I could of changed this but if not then what you see here is the schedule as this was written on Decmebrr 15th 2019.


                I am excited for all these changes and additions to the podcast and if all goes well I will be offering Big Brother 22 come summer time as well to our newest member. With saying that I want to say welcome Jasmine to the team, we're all excited to have you aboard the Chris B On The Web Family. We cannot wait to hear you on the podcast and let's get this podcast up to 300 episodes this year!

Been Re-Adjusting Things After a Busy Fall Season!

             After the fall podcast has been wrapped up since last week, been in full swing to finishing up Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue which in the New Year I am sure that I will have an update or idea when we will be coming back whether I am moved back to the regular desk or not. Yesterday, I binged watched several episodes and even napped for 3 hours to just to continue as soon as I am finished Trakeena's Revenge (2) episode I am about 9 episodes to finished! By the time you see this though, I am probably very close to finished or finished it completely. Anyways I think I have officially started transitioning into the off season outside of being behind the mic constantly I have started working on Off Season Podcasts and I have officially started working on the preview podcast for Survivor: Winners At War which I will have done soon enough then on top of that started working on a Survivor Off Season Podcast so I got some stuff in the works for sure. Also my new host I'm sure they will be doing 1 or 2 and also I have an Amazing Race is in the works so we have a bunch of stuff. I plan to take some time off from working on Power Rangers once the final notes is finished so I can work on the off season stuff. So either way as you can see I am working on new content for you guys.


           I honestly have transitioned very quickly and getting things done. As you know Christmas is coming and I am going to work between the holidays to get things done and I am going to honestly take my time. It will take me another week or so to get back into the swing of planning and that is pretty much standard coming off what has been a very long year for us but in the end, I will still find something to do on my time off and adjusting to the off season very quickly as I am finding a bunch of stuff to do between. Also been making best with my time but yes I will be off today till Boxing Day to spend time with my family and plan on watching TV catching up on shows on my time off and probably will not be around my PC much unless I write a blog post or am on it when my niece and nephew are. Anyways there will be a post tomorrow to wish you all a Merry Christmas and what I have planned and what not so be on the look out for that.



Chris

Everything About Reality TV Will Return Jan 14th, 2020!

               It has been a whirlwind of a season and I honestly can say I thought this week was the end of the podcast but it wasn't as you guys wanted me to continue on. This season has been full of emotions as you know the last season before the one that I just finished, we ended up walking away from Big Brother for the remainder of the season due to falling so far behind and honestly if any of this would happen again, I have a new plan moving forward but we will be fine with the plan that we got, it is going to even be bigger and better then before. This year also I thought it would of been done with this podcast but nope, you guys wanted more seasons and been reaching out to me and it was an astonishing amount of support through the rough patches I have had recently. Plus we have a new staff on board for the Big Brother Canada 8 and hopefully Big Brother 22 RECAPS so this is definitely good for us moving forward and it sure takes a bit of stress as you know I covered everything in the past 4 years so I am excited to be mentoring and been wanting to take on a mentor role. With with the stress of this season comes excitement for 2020. Plus ever since the podcast was discovered that it was on IHeartRadio it really has picked the views up on the podcast so that's so amazing as views as the views really stayed around the same amount for the longest time! 


                 Now with one season gone comes another and with great pleasure, I am happy announce a 13th season of Everything About Reality TV come February 13th, 2020! So when will there be off season Podcasts? Well we will be returning on January 14th, 2020 so this does give us a few weeks off from Podcasting so we can prepare some off season episodes for you guys right now, as you know I have destroyed the notes when I made that announcement it was ending but now that it isn't I have to come up with ideas for both Survivor, Amazing Race and Amazing Race Canada and I do actually have a couple of ideas up my sleeve before the preview podcast early February as I found out that Survivor: Winners At War is now suppose to be out February 12th, 2020 but Jeff said that it will be out sometime February but it was leaked apparently. So I look forward to January 14th and in the meantime, please enjoy the blog posts in the meantime while we are on a break from the podcast.

Today Is The Moment of Truth!

              With the studio is complete disarray I have been starting to doubt when the Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast is going to be returning and with Christmas now around the corner it is starting to question when this space will return back to normal again and I am probably going to be guessing by February things should return to normal again I hope which means today, I have to sit down with Larry and discuss the collaboration podcast future recording session. I have been thinking about it for the past couple of days to be honest and I have been weighing so many darn options and think it is just best to wait till the full setup is done and finished to ensure we have a proper setup especially with the other microphone which is currently once again put away till the construction of this studio is officially finished up which right now it is extremely hard to get access to things within this studio at the moment. I am going to tell Larry February and that is the official confirmation I want to give you guys for now but no exact date to when it will be recorded right now till I know further and give Larry the OK or green light to come over so we can record the podcast and get it out to you guys.


                 When we are about to record I will make sure to do a post a week in advance when we record and when it will be coming out to you guys. Just right now this studio is in disarray and there is no other way to hook up the second boom which is currently in a box along with the green screen as well. So today will really test how much further we have to go till I finish up the Lightspeed Rescue which mind you I am really enjoying more then the first time I tried to watch it and lost complete interest however now, I have to try and have an open mind now collaborating with Larry twice a year well 3 times next year as I am adding a 3rd to make up for the lost time that we missed with this year so this year coming up, 2020 we will definitely be making up for loss time that we missed and I can tell you guys this, once Lightspeed is finished I am moving into Time Force immediately with no break on it whatsoever so this way I can be ready for June very quickly as well. So today is definitely going to be an interesting day for him and I discussing the podcast and get our crap together as we keep saying it's coming back and yet there hasn't been a day but today is a true test of when we will be ready to go and I will have a confirmation later in the week to what the story is but this is only my thoughts how I am feeling but as you guys are reading this, I am discussing things with him and I'll let you know this week at some point.

Everything About Reality TV Updates! [11-19-2019]

           I wanted to take the time to make this announcement post and to give you guys heads up you will now hear a 15 - 30 spot before the intro roles as it normal does and the reason is the podcast is an affiliate and that is all I really want to say but this is a great opportunity and I am sure it will take some time before things pick up. However I can say on the Stitcher side of the platforms that the podcast is with well the views are up which is great and means it is starting to pick up. That isn't the only good thing as you probably noticed Castbox is back and yes I got it back up and it's gaining subscribers pretty quick which is incredible. Also I noticed this a few weeks back but Everything About Reality TV Podcast is also on IHeartRadio which a friend of mine said it is very hard to get on which is true but hey Everything About Reality TV got picked and I am forever grateful for this opportunity. Now back to the 15 - 30 spot, it is hard to explain but you will hear it 2 days from tonight what it is sounds like and I can say it is awesome to add a 15 - 30 second spot promoting Stitcher Premium that I can say. Hopefully that does help explain but like I said you will hear it 2 days from this evening as I will be add it in before the intro.


          I am excited to be an affiliate with Stitcher and have the opportunity to promote their product. Going to Stitcher was the best thing I ever did for the podcast 3 years ago and I was there even when they were still growing as a platform and having issues but I stuck by them even when I took a break I still came back and their platform and staff have been nothing but great to me. This also includes TuneIn, ITunes, Player FM, Castbox and all the platforms my podcast as they have been amazing especially when I had a question or concern with my feed they would help me out with the problem so I am forever grateful for the help when I struggle with things.  Either way it has been a very productive journey and it is now no secret as I said in the post 2 days ago that I have decided to continue or move forward with future seasons of the podcast. I cannot wait for you guys to hear this week's episode as I am changing things around and it will sound different for sure and a lot better this week then it has in the past!

Everything About Reality TV Is Ending... What's Next?

           So the rumors are true and I needed several days to process this entire change that is about to happen. Yes "Everything About Reality TV" Podcast is coming to an end after 4 long years On The Air and there will be changes with CBOTW and the way of podcasts. I am nervous for the changes but like Rocky said, this change will be good for me and Larry told me I have been doing this a long time now. Reason is not the negative comments but it is more with me feeling burnt out as I have been going non stop for the last 11 months now with very hardly any break so I am feeling ready for change. Now what is the changes? They are:

     - I plan on taking a break from running my podcast till the start of January, then The Entertainment Man Podcast also known as The EM Podcast will be starting the first Sunday of January so I am taking a break. 

    - I will still be working on Power Rangers Podcast and on Punk Rock Cheeseburger during the break and I won't be going far from those ones while the transition stage is completed. 

     - Everything About Reality TV Feeds will no longer have new episodes and will stay up on all the platforms until Late 2020 when I will get them removed but old Episodes will remain on Podcasts.com from here on out. 

      - The EM Podcast will then grow onto websites like Stitcher, ITunes, TuneIn & Player FM one the ball gets rolling with then I will make the move to the other platforms within a week later I will work on bringing it onto the podcast. 

      - Everything About Reality TV Podcast Off Season Podcasts that have been written have been destroyed or thrown out in the trash on any flash drive or on the computer once the season is finished. Actually I have removed all the graphics and it is now stored on the flash drive so this way I have a copy. Also all episodes are on the external hard drive, yes all 240 + episodes and collabs are on there.

       There is what is going to be happening and when the Podcast is starting so technically and what is next for me. Honestly I am excited for the change to happen and ready to start something newer and different. I think it was time and I could really sense it back in May that the end is near and for once I listen to my own heart and gut on this and just hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the butt in the end but I don't think it will as Rocky said this change will be totally good for me and things won't be as crazy for me as they are right now. The date for the Podcast to start in Sunday, January 5th, 2020 officially. So there ya go with the official date for the podcast to be launched.

Everything About Reality TV Podcast Has Become Stable Again...

              I know over the last 6 months it hasn't been an easy time for me with this podcast and I have contemplated quitting the podcast and moving on with the website and focus on the other 2 podcasts I am involved with but things change very quickly with this podcast as I got some information from one of my former staff from the beginning when I started this media journey back in 2005 (Eric) as I am not afraid to say who it is and he is considered my information source everything "Reality TV" related when it comes to the shows I cover especially. What information did he give me? That they are already casting for 2 of the shows that I cover on the podcast which one of them is Survivor as they have already started casting for Seasons 41 and 42 which means, this podcast ain't going far and to be honest there is a few things that makes this official as 1) They are confirmed to film in Fiji up to season 42 and the fact the resort is booked which you can checkout the link here and it is where it is and they have a pretty good source on everything that comes to Survivor. Also here is the article here for the casting season 41 and 42   So you see what I mean this show isn't going anywhere anytime soon which means "Everything About Reality TV" Podcast isn't going anywhere for now. Now the second show I mentioned is Amazing Race and I do not have a specific link as I have looked it up and nothing but I trust Eric's word that he wouldn't be lying to me but they are already casting Season 33 for the next Season of Amazing Race. 


               Either way Everything About Reality TV isn't going anywhere at least for the next 1.5 years at the moment and I know back in the spring things were a bit shaky however all of that has changed now and I was at least looking at until Fall 2020 then deciding but I can expect my podcast to be around for another year and a half honestly. It isn't over till it is over and were coming back with even more seasons. I can say officially say now that I am planning on reaching my goal of 15 Seasons of the podcast and beyond would be definitely nice to be running the podcast for 15 amazing seasons and getting close to that point too! I am definitely gotten more pumped up and excited and that passion is definitely back and so ready to go. Anyways that is why I made this post and excited to see what the future brings for this Podcast and I am ready to bring in new seasons. I am planning on a small break in December after the 12th season is complete. Anyways that is my post for today and this podcast has become stable once again and I raring to go with the future of the podcast and we're not done yet!

Not Sure What To Expect For January!

          I am not sure what I can expect for January 2020 as everything seems to be a huge fuzz for me with being unsure of Celebrity Big Brother US Season 3 or Music City CMT is coming back and that leaves in a gap for the podcast. Now I know with the newest host of the podcast and with the rumors now true that Hell's Kitchen is coming back that could fill in the void in the New Year possibly. Yet again we have to find out when Hell's Kitchen Recaps start in the New Year to be exact so there might be time off for us but that is totally unsure at the moment but I just do not know what to expect podcast wise and we are planning on podcast to introduce Steven to you guys and it will be the first time you will hear his voice on the podcast. However again that is going to be tough to when it will go up as I just do not know when I can put it up is the question but I think I am going to still record it and put it on standby folder and when I get the chance I can post it up or it can also be a mid week podcast but maybe this will be for a time for Steven and I to discuss. However I need to get him all setup and ready to go for his Podcast as well so there is work to be done between now and then. I know in the next few weeks I will be working with him to set it up and testing it and showing him the ropes how to so there is stuff that I can do. But the main concern what will be aired on the Podcasts Feed in January. I just do not know what to say right now and I think I am just over thinking things right now.


              I should really have a plan in tact for the New Year and maybe what I may just do is not be involved but let him do a podcast to introduce himself and what he expects from the next season of Hell's Kitchen and I think he will be the one to do that and it could be between the Survivor Recaps and I am going to definitely talk to him about it and what ideas he has to get prepared for the upcoming season of Hell's Kitchen 19 come 2020. I'm sure he will be doing a couple of podcasts before he starts the actual recaps so there will be discussions with him before. So I am just not going to plan anything ahead but there's ton of stuff to do to get ready for January that I just cannot even tell you guys what I am wanting to do as Steven and I really cannot say anything right now what the plan or what we are to expect in January. I think for right now we are just going to play things by ear for now and when January comes closer then that is the right time to make the decision what will happen between the seasons but I promise I will let you guys know what the plan is when we know more.

Hell's Kitchen Recaps Are Returning To Everything About Reality TV Podcast In 2020!

                The title doesn't lie! That is right, Hell's Kitchen Recaps are RETURNING to Everything About Reality TV in 2020. There is a lot of questions being asked and I will answer them all:

1) Are you going to Host and if you aren't who is? No I am not going to host it. As I said on social media late last night I announced I have a new host lined up and he is very excited to announce Steven is going to be the host and trust me he's a super fan of Hell's Kitchen and I have officially signed him on for the next 2 seasons of Hell's Kitchen.

2) Where we can hear this Podcast? Podcast will be on the normal 14 - 15 platforms the podcasts is on Podcasts.com. Stitcher, ITunes, TuneIn, Player FM, Overcast, ListenNotes, Castbox and many more. So what I am trying to say any of the Audio ONLY platforms it will be pretty much. 

3) When is it coming? There is no date yet but Steven has told me that it will be sometime in 2020 when it will be coming and the time and place it goes up it will be announced on here and also on Social Media. 

4) Will I pop up once and a while? Probably not as I said this is all Steven who is going to be the host and he has the reigns on this show and it is on him what he wants to do but as long he remains professional and entertains everyone in the same way but he's the boss of those recaps. Only thing I do is more behind the scenes stuff with posting it up and to add in the intro and what not. 


                  Either way I am excited for Steven to be starting and we have spoken about it in the past month or 2 but it went on the way side of things for the longest time and I made a decision that it wouldn't be going back however but we are back and excited it will be someone new to the podcast and for the first time I am going to have someone else on the podcast. Now in the way of YouTube, I do not think Everything About Reality TV Podcast will not be back on the YouTube platform anytime soon with the recent ways YouTube has become with subscribers and views being suppressed so I think for the best interest of our Podcast it is better for us to stay off but never know we could make the move in 2020 and I will discuss that with my team. Finally I want to welcome Steven to the team and excited to be working with you in the very nearby future. This is only the start guys there is more to come in the year 2020 with this podcast!
