Rumors About Me Returning To YouTube

                The rumor is true, I am planning on returning to YouTube but non of the network's podcasts. No it is not a personal Channel or anything. After Talking to Chloe, talking to Larry, talking to Amy, pretty much my entire team over the course of the last week or 2, I was thinking about the entire thing with the video stuff that was here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com, it was time to return to doing videos even on a weekly or even biweekly basis, meaning once or twice a week and one of those days being Saturday as Saturday has 0 content and not a lot happens on Saturdays for us and right now with events starting back up not fully but partially, there will be not as often in Blog posts at this time.  The other day, I cannot tell you when at this moment and I do not know the entire extent to what the plans are and I will be talking to Amy this week but not sure what day whether it is today or tomorrow but depends as this week has been a busy week for us.

                 You can expect, Behind The Scenes here in the studio, ChrisBOnTheWeb related stuff, Entertainment Man Podcast, Power Rangers Collab and The After Show With Amy F Behind the Scenes. So it will not just be me but my team will have access to this channel to upload to YouTube. It will be linked through this website, ChrisBOnTheWeb and  Amy F Online so in the way of promotion we will be having a ton of ways and traffic to both sites. There will be no live streams at the moment as it is or will be a brand new channel on YouTube but eventually I will go that route down the road I'm sure. Now the start date more then likely a week from now we will be launching this channel just need some time to design it and set it up talk to my team some more and other stuff. That is my post for today, hope you enjoyed it and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Behind The Scenes of Being a Podcaster

              Today's blog post is the conclusion of the behind the scenes in the Entertainment industry and obviously I am talking about the behind the scenes of being a podcaster and what happens the day before, the day just before recording happens and after the podcast is recorded. Again this is definitely a lengthy process but there is definitely some time off between more then I had when I was still on YouTube at the time. 


               Obviously the day of the TV Show is on air I will watch the TV Show, take notes about the Reality TV Show, and pretty much from there I take the notes I have and use them in the actual episode of Everything About Reality TV. The next phase is the day of recording, now the prep before a recording is adding in the introduction which I run the introduction while talking over the intro at a specific part which if you are an avid listener of my podcast you know what I mean by that. Just before I record, I tend to play some tunes in the studio while I do the final prep before actually recording an episode. Of course the next phase is to actually record the podcast which can take up to 20 - 30 minutes, sometimes 50 minutes to an hour, depends on the show I am covering and mind you I do not mind doing a 50 minute to an hour. It's actually ton of fun to do. 


               The second last step in behind the scenes which I sometimes talk about over on Instagram is the editing process which can take up to an hour up to a few hours depending on the length but I don't mind, I get to hear bits and piece and I will talk about it if I listen to the podcast or not on the next blog post but the editing process can take some quite time but in the end it is a very good quality podcast in the long run and it gets a good number of people listening to it. The final step is posting it up on podcasts.com and chrisbontheweb.com (when the site is operational) and doing the PR work behind it to promote the podcast. Finally it is a lot of steps but in the end it is worth all the hard work that goes into every single episode each and every week or few times a week.

Behind The Scenes In The Entertainment Industry! (YouTube)

                   Today I want to talk about Behind The Scenes in the entertainment industry. I am doing a 2 part blog post as I have been through different types of the entertainment industry online, YouTube which I will be talking about today and of course what I am doing in this current day, podcasting. Two different industries but excited to talk about both in this post and tomorrow's post as well. 


                    YouTube, seems like something I haven't done in ages now. It has been almost 2 years since my last ever video I ever made. It was fun days to make videos and see the reaction from you guys was so amazing. For those who don't know, The Entertainment Man Talk Show ran a long time, about 6 years not including the hiatus that took place between Fall 2010 and Summer 2012. It was a very successful series but it got a little stale after a while as it the ideas started to go downhill and the views went downhill, it was clearly time for change and with the way YouTube was heading, it was a good move to get off the platform. However behind the scenes there are different parts, planning, getting ideas together, get a script or discussion topics to talk about and I introduced myself to cue cards and it became very effective. The next part was the filming. It could take up to 45 minutes to record depending on the episode and how long breaks were when I added in the chimerical breaks between segments. Now between the filming, I am putting fluids in my body to make sure my throat doesn't get dry and trust me I drink enough water during the shoot of a video. The way we had it setup we had the intro track which I can hear the theme in my head from time to time.  Now also between the filming I also gave, Eric, Dave, Brent, Larry instructions for the next segment, so I played the director role as well as the Exec Producer and Host I had tons of roles on the show besides the host. I pretty well did everything on the series. But the other team I had were my dream team back in the day, I had to also rely on them as well. Usually on set there was about 2 - 3 of us that did on the set related stuff. Now behind the scenes, it takes me hours to edit an episode of The Entertainment Man Talk Show I will usually wait till the next day to start editing but sometimes I start to edit right off the bat. But usually the next day when I was in the world of vlogging my life every single day.


                      That is what typically happens behind the scenes for the prep of an episode, on the day of filming and behind the scenes of the editing of an video. It was truly a lot of work to do behind the scenes but in the end it was worth all the hard work for people to see what think of the episode once it is posted up on YouTube. I truly did enjoy my time as a YouTube but I am now much happier as a Podcaster and I will be talking about it on Sunday's blog post.

Where Have I Been Lately?

              I know, I haven't been quite as active on social media and missed out days here on the blog and the reason for it, my mom had surgery so I have been taking care of her and like I have said many times, my family comes first and I have been busy taking care of my mom while she recovers from day surgery. Let me assure you, she's doing well now being 4 days since the surgery was done and recovering quite well.


              Now I am sure you will say, but Chris what about the blog, podcast, well with this week being a very hectic week, the schedule is going to be a bit different from what it usually is but you guys read the blogs and you guys listen to the podcast even if it isn't on the schedule as it says on the website, please do not pay attention to it if I mention it here on the blog, on social or even I think I will change the scheduled time on the website this way it is always up to date and actually I can do that via my desktop calendar so it makes it easy for me to change the schedule and I did that for today's blog post. 



              If you wonder, don't think I don't do anything between helping my parents out since my mom is laid up in her recliner, I have very much been busy behind the scenes, offline working on the off season podcasts & of course working on the 100th episode notes for Everything About Reality TV which mind you now have to get tweaked a bit but that's OK with me, you have to make tweaks to make things better or to improve on it, so been working on that, made a few tweaks to the website this week as well with my mug shot at the top of the website and on the about page as well needed a better picture and think this fits it very well. Also been talking to the individuals who will be appearing or hopefully will be popping by the studio next Thursday, giving them details of the 100th episode. Just got a couple of concerns. So I have been busy behind the scenes, don't think I am not doing anything, because I am quite busy with the busy schedule ahead of me. Between helping my mom and also my dad with dinners, I am very much on a very hectic schedule but still keeping up with everything here in the studio as well, but busy is a good thing, keeps me out of trouble, LOL!


Have a great night!
