Looking at the Bigger Picture

 Yes, my podcast faltered — but sometimes setbacks are simply redirections toward something greater.

Right now, I’m choosing to focus on the bigger picture.

Opportunities are knocking for The CBOTW Show, and when genuine opportunities present themselves — especially collaborative ones — you take them. I’ve been presented with several exciting collaboration possibilities with friends and fellow creators, and I’ve decided to fully embrace this new direction.

This doesn’t mean less content. In fact, it means a shift — not a reduction. I will continue producing the same number of shows as before, just under a renewed focus and structure that better aligns with where the company is heading.

Sometimes growth requires letting go. In hindsight, I may have held onto the previous format longer than I should have. But every experience teaches you something. If there’s downtime, there’s always productive work to be done — building the website, developing new episode ideas, streaming on Kick, creating solo content, or expanding collaborations. The possibilities are endless when the vision is clear.

The podcast didn’t “end” because of failure — it stepped aside to make room for opportunity.

This is about evolution, not retreat.

Thank you for continuing to support this journey. I’ll be back tomorrow with another update.

The End of an Era — And the Beginning of Something Bigger

It truly is the end of an era.

After six incredible years with Entertainment Man, we are officially turning the page and stepping into something bigger and better. Growth requires change, and I’m excited about where we’re headed next.

So… what’s next?

🎙️ New Podcast Schedule

We are moving to a new release schedule:

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6 PM EST

This new structure allows us to expand and strengthen our lineup, including:

• Dancing with the Stars discussions with Mary

• Corner Gas episodes with Bob

• New shows and conversations with Larry

In addition, we will be posting shorts and reels on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays throughout the day to keep fresh content flowing across our platforms.

🤝 New Podcast Collaborations

We’re also expanding through collaborations with other podcasts, focusing on TV and movie discussions. We already have an exciting lineup in place, and I’ll be officially announcing those partnerships on social media in the coming days.

If all goes according to plan, we may begin rolling out these collaborations as early as this week.

✍️ Blogs & Guest Contributions

The blog isn’t going anywhere. In fact, we plan to continue regular posts, along with occasional guest contributions to bring fresh voices and perspectives into the community.

🔥 After Hours with Shane and Chris

After Hours with Shane and Chris continues to grow steadily in views and engagement. The response from all of you has been incredible, and we’re excited to keep building on those weekly conversations.

This may be the closing of one chapter, but it’s also the launch of a new one — filled with momentum, creativity, and opportunity.

Thank you for continuing to support this journey. I’ll be back tomorrow with another update.'

An Important Announcement About the Future of Entertainment Man Podcast

After six incredible years on the air, I have made the difficult decision to officially conclude the Entertainment Man Podcast — and this time, it will be for good.

This was not a choice made lightly. Over time, I’ve felt a shift creatively, and I believe that when something no longer feels as strong or inspired as it once did, it’s important to acknowledge that honestly. The ideas have evolved, and so have I.

There are additional factors behind this decision that I will address in tomorrow’s podcast episode. What I can say for now is that there has been significant movement behind the scenes within our studio. Conversations have been happening. Opportunities have been presented. And something new is beginning to take shape.

While it’s always bittersweet to close a chapter, I firmly believe that growth requires change. As one journey ends, another begins — and I am genuinely excited about the direction our network is heading.

You will continue to hear from me through March 8th. After that, we’ll be transitioning into new projects — bigger, stronger, and more aligned with where we are headed next. This week, I will be sharing more details and answering your questions.

Thank you for six years of support, loyalty, and encouragement. Entertainment Man has meant more to me than words can express, and I’m grateful for every listener who has been part of the journey.

The next chapter begins soon.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Chris
