Web Series or Podcasting?

            Web series or Podcasting? Which one do I prefer. As you guys may know my history with the web series that I use to do from 2005 till 2015 a good 10 years with doing series then from 2014 to the present day, which almost at 10 years for me as a podcaster as I started to dabble in the world of podcasting with one other person back then. You guys know I loved doing the series but we kind of ran aground and ran out of ideas for the series so that is one of the reason. 

            But Podcasting I love, I love being my authentic self and talk about TV shows and movies so I really am loving what we're doing now with the podcasts right now and no regrets whatsoever switching to podcasts. Larry, Kelsie and myself seem to really enjoy what we are doing right now. So in a short answer, I definitely say podcasting is more my thing and more in my wheelhouse of expertise as I've done internet and campus radio in the past. I hope you guys enjoyed reading today's blog and enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will talk to you all on Monday as I will be home from my trip by then.

Goals For ChrisBOnTheWeb Media?

             Since we are halfway through the year, some of our goals weren't reachable like the YouTube Channel for The CBOTW Show but there are goals I'd like to share with you guys professionally:

ChrisBOnTheWeb Media: I'd love to reach 1 million views on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and we're closing in to 700K at this moment and it may take a few more years but that is totally OK with that and we continue to grow and learn each and every day we continue this journey together. 

            Also I would love to see 20 years and even a 25th anniversary for ChrisBOnTheWeb but baby steps as we are only on our 10th anniversary at the moment and we will get there eventually but again it is a long way off from our 20th and 25th anniversary and we will get there some day, just gotta keep truckin'. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: Now Entertainment Man, I can say I want to reach 300 episodes with eventually hitting the 500th episode down the road. Also I would love to hit 500 subscribers which is a very high goal and that will happen eventually. Small goals to start obviously.

The CBOTW Show: With The CBOTW Show of YouTube now my only goal is the 100th episode of the podcast and getting up there in episodes and probably get close to 50 by this year. 

            Anyways that is my post for today, it is nice to redefine my goals and as you noticed, I didn't give us any timeline, when it happens it happens right. Just keep producing the content out there but I will talk to you all tomorroW.

Let's Talk The CBOTW Show!

              The CBOTW Show has had rough waters lately. We tried to go to YouTube and it failed miserably. We tried to upload and the video froze and the premiere just unexpectedly ended on us. So I have no clue how to fix it and I think we made a mistake going to YouTube right away. We should of actually waited to go on the platform for this podcast. However nothing we can do now. I'm not sure what happened to the podcast why the video didn't play but the video was corrupted apparently so I have no clue what went on with that.

              The Podcast is to return in January 2025 on YouTube and hopefully we know exactly what we are doing and that we can actually have 0 problems with the podcast moving forward. With this podcast we are still learning with this podcast. However when we return to The CBOTW Show, we will be on a weekly schedule and things will be on a more smoother run then it has been. Just a little patience, we made the wrong call on The CBOTW Show a little too soon. We should of been more patient but not only that but we jumped too soon on going to YouTube for that podcast. However we will be back in 2025 on video but for right now we are sticking to Audio for this podcast for now. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

Chris

The CBOTW Show Has Bigger Plans!

             There is clearly more plans for The CBOTW Show that I haven't really revealed as of yet. However I can say this that this podcast is going to start looking for other collaborations and hosts and we have thought about covering at least 3 of the shows but the rest will be regular TV Shows and movies in the process so here is the entire break down and upcoming is in italics:

Reality TV Shows    Regular TV Shows              Movies

Big Brother                 Corner Gas                          Mighty Ducks

Big Brother Canada    Ghostwriter                        D2 The Mighty 

Survivor                                                                Ducks

                                                                           D3 The                                                                                         Mighty Ducks                              So that is the breakdown of things that we would like to cover and the ones that are on our list that we are going to be covering next. With the schedule changing next year to both shows on a weekly basis, things will be different but more on that later as that is today's post, thank you for reading this post and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Featured Spotlight: Fun Football Podcast!

     Both Chris and I have connected with a podcast called "The Fun Football Podcast" which is a newer podcast and it's an amazing podcast, I've been in the chats the last month now. Fun experience and host and co hosts are amazing with the interaction. They are now also part of a network "Podcast Boys Network" and also part of Blitz Hits the Fan is another podcast as there is two shows they have which will be in chat for all I'm sure. You can find Fun Football Podcast at https://linktr.ee/funfootballpodcast for all the links to check them out. 

    Their shows vary from week to week but the best way is to follow them on their social medias to find out what is what. They will post on the other show. Chris had the owner and host of the podcast on Entertainment Man Podcast for the Season 4 finale last year which you can find on this very website, YouTube and other Audio ONLY Platforms. I highly recommend to check em out especially if you like NFL and College Football. That is my post for today and I will speak to you all tomorrow to try and do an End of The Week Updates. We'll see if I can do one.

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!

Updates, Great Things Happening for Us!

            Question I've had is where's Chris? I just heard from him this morning and talking time away from running the day to day of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and right now Brianna, Larry and I continue to work on what we are doing. I know he's had a rough last week or two and we worry about him on a regular basis. Just hope he continues to stay committed to CBOTW Media. However there is great things happening for ChrisBOnTheWeb Media! Chris has gotten a lot of great news moving forward.

           What great things that are happening? 1) Chris and Larry will be recording this week for The CBOTW Show and the image has been floating around on social media and the two of them will be recording Home Alone and Home Alone 2 podcasts! Which is exciting and I knew this piece of information right off the bat so I made that image, on the right. Also Chris is INDEED returning to the Tyrone Parade of Lights this year! Very excited news indeed and this year has been a bunch of surprises for CBOTW Media this and I am really impressed we have started going back to certain events. That is the post for today folks, I'll talk to you all tomorrow as I am taking over for him all week.

Content Schedule Is Being Adjusted in 2024!

        With 2024 slowly coming to an end... We have changed the schedule for 2024 and please note changes are in bold and italics:      

Sundays: 1 pm ET: Entertainment Man Podcast (YouTube/Audio ONLY) Not being affected for 2024, same schedule as before. 

Monday - Fridays: 11 am ET: Daily Blog Not being affected for 2024, same schedule as before. Only change is Saturdays being added to the lineup.

Wednesdays: Entertainment Man Podcast (YouTube/Audio ONLY, Posted ONLY) Only change on this podcast it is being added to YouTube so the podcast is fully on YouTube 

Friday's (Every second week), 1 pm EST: The CBOTW Show- TV or Movie w/ Chris or both Larry and I. (Audio ONLY) This will be a rotation between my solo episodes on this podcasts and Larry and myself 

Saturdays:   11 am ET: Blog post Been tested throughout the last year or two and has become popular enough that people want it back. 

                    Time TBA: (Sporadically): Facebook Stream

The CBOTW Show will be sticking to one schedule and rotate with Power Rangers/Movies and other TV Shows with Larry. This is a better schedule. I wish we could put this schedule into affect immediately but we have a lot riding on us this year first of all so the schedule right now is SPORADIC. This is a better and more solid schedule moving forward and it is important to have a more solid foundation moving forward and everything was clumped too close together. Excited for the necessary changes we need to continue to be a successful Media group in 2024 and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow! 

Chris

The CBOTW Show is Struggling....

            I do not know what on earth is going on with The CBOTW Show. I've officially resigned from Power Rangers Podcast yet I'm still working on it in case things work out. Not sure what I did to my co-host as their normally on by now and starting to wonder and worry. I could just finish it on my own perhaps. That is always an option in the end to getting it finished and done and over with. We will see. There is other options for doing the other shows and people really enjoy the solo ones with me actually. 

         I wish I knew the answers to the problems in the content department of ChrisBOnTheWeb. I just cannot solve all the problems of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media in a day. Takes time and effort. I know I am fighting depression and struggling to get everything done and I just do not know how to get through all of these problems and workload that has piled right up from editing the podcasts to these blogs I am just way over my head with work. Plus 10th anniversary now backed up which I will address more tomorrow but thank you for reading this post and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

The CBOTW Show Returns Today!

           The CBOTW Show is making it's return today for the first time in a week almost with a brand new schedule. Now I know what about Power Rangers what I am thinking is going on a rotating schedule but here is what we're thinking:

          Week # 1:                                                 Week # 2:

Tues: 1 pm EST- Power Rangers                  T.V. or Movies                        (Larry and I)                               (By  Myself)       

           So I am sticking to the schedule on Tuesdays but every 2nd week I will be posting something up and the weeks Power Rangers isn't on, I will be keeping up with the posting of new episodes with TV and Movie recaps. I dunno what the plan is moving forward with TV Recap wise but we'll see. For now I wanna do some movies for now especially that Halloween season is upon us I plan on actually doing some classic horror film reviews. I have a couple in the back of my mind. Psycho, Halloween being two of them. Anyways that is the post for today, just a little update for you guys and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

I'm Staying Positive!

             As you know I have been working on notes non stop and tomorrow being the day of recording, I am staying positivie through all of this. I do have a plan and if worse comes to worse, we will be recording at least 1. Here is the plan for right now:

PLAN A (Original Plan): Record both Ninja Steel and Super Ninja Steel as normally and if this is if I make a real dent as I went to bed early to try and get a really big dent into the notes

PLAN B: Just record the 1 episode, Ninja Steel and push it till the 29th of this month at this point. 

Plan Moving Forward: If we do the one episode this week the plan in 2 weeks is to try and record Super Ninja Steel and Beast Morphers, Season 1 & 2 if we can if humanly possible this could possibly put us back on schedule again. 

               So I am always reinventing and trying to figure things out and try and compromise things even if crap hits the fan especially with not getting notes done. I tried to sacrifice sleep and that didn't work, so I sleep when I need to sleep then work, if I get it done, I get it done right? Anyways I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post. 

Chris

End of The Week Updates [06-02-2023]

            Another week has come to a close and time for some updates:

Sad News: This week we got some sad news that Sophie has passed away. CBOTW Team hasn't been really around since the news broke and we are sorry but we are all affected by this news. I made a Past Team page of the former team members in her memory and she will be up on there. Will talk about that shortly.

Team Page:  I have updated the team page, still had Sophie on there listed and it will be some time till I am ready to update it as I am still struggling with this news but I am on leave from the day to day operations of ChrisBOnTheWeb so I haven't been too active in the day to day.

Past Team Page: As I said before, there is an Past Team page and was worked on this morning and is officially now up here on the website. I couldn't add everyone and there has been people who have done me wrong in the past has not been listed on there. It is my decision in the end. 

Power Rangers Collab ends tomorrow: Tomorrow ends the 5 year run of Power Rangers Collab, this week has been me wrapping up that and as I have said before, the page will remain up till June 30th then will be archived under the Podcast Archives page. 

The CBOTW Show:  The transition to The CBOTW Show has begun and as I am working on the podcast under the name, I am excited for the future of these podcasts. 

         Those are the updates, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and remember that the 5th anniversary is going up on both Power Rangers Collab (for the final time) and The CBOTW Show (for the first time) at 1 pm EDT. I will be away all day but be sure to be on the lookout for it! I will talk to you all Monday!

Chris

What's Going On With The CBOTW Show?

           I know The CBOTW Show has been very, very quiet lately. However I have some updates with the development of the podcast. With this year already busy with finishing up seasons and getting all the way to season 29, the plans with the Power Rangers Movies are now on the shelf yet again. First end of last year we were suppose to be doing that to and this year in May. Well The CBOTW Show is now on hiatus till 2024 at this moment.

           Reason why is we want to focus on getting finishing with Power Rangers Collab and the reason behind why I have decided it is best that we hold off the launch of The CBOTW Show. The audio only is awaiting the first upload. With completing all the seasons, sounds like The CBOTW Show is now going to be re-launching in 2024 at some point. We feel bad for no launching it this year and we have been promising for the last few months and hyping it right up but now it is going to the wayside yet again. So that is what is going on and we will update you guys when we get closer to relaunching the podcast and that is the post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow. 

Chris

End of The Week Updates [01-13-2023]

            Another week has come to an and time for some updates. It's been a long week for us, lost two staff this year already but Chloe has signing an long term agreement with the team and we signed it online. It's a long explanation but here are the updates:

Website: With Chloe back in the reigns, we've actually updated the "Staff" page. I know it is becoming too much to constantly and we rarely post an update but it is updated that is what is most important.

Entertainment Man Podcast: I am still looking for interviews and not sure but Entertainment Man Podcast hasn't gotten any views lately on Matchmaker and not sure if my podcast is showing up in the results and I've considered contacting em cause the profile should be showing up regardless. 

Power Rangers Collab: This week was about me watching and getting notes done so we can actually have a podcast and that is the goal this weekend to get it finished both seasons. Also I have come up with an idea to post on social media a clip of the upcoming podcast to give you guys an idea what the new format will be. Also the entire finish Power Rangers Season by end of July for Cosmic Fury, 30th Anniversary Reunion and Quantum Continuum, well it was green lit by my other Executive Producer he said it was a great goal to have. So we're gonna try to get it all done in the first 7 months so the schedule could change down the road after February. I will have to talk to him about a schedule that he never received in the mail... lol... First time that happened. A blog for Monday that's for sure.

              Anyways those are the updates for this week, I hope you have a great weekend and I will be sure to tell that story about the mail that never arrived at Larry's but hopefully it gets there next week but I will talk to you all Monday!

Chris

The CBOTW Show New Plan

           The CBOTW Show is constantly evolving since the announcement of it returning last month. I know I said I was gonna hold back and I am but for Larry and I we are waiting to be on the air on that podcast. We are waiting till Power Rangers Collab Podcast slows down and it is coming in the next year from now. Plus sadly Larry will be moving in the next year and a half to 2 years back up north as his mom is retiring so this means he will not be in the studio anymore and the boom arm will be dismantled and put away for the time being. 

          However this doesn't stop me from finding hosts for the following shows: 

- Survivor (Host for Survivor 44 and beyond)

- Big Brother Canada (Will host for season 11 and will be offered for Big Brother US in the summer time)

            That is the plan for right now and we will grow it down the road. Will start with these two podcasts then continue to grow this thing bigger and bigger and you never know I may end up popping back in more permanently down the road if Entertainment Man Podcast ever stops which it isn't for right now but least I have a plan for later on especially. That is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for end of the week updates.

Chris

End of The Week Updates [04-14-2022]

                It is time for the end of the week updates to this shortened week here at ChrisBOnTheWeb Studio. As you know we are off tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday and Monday for Easter and this couldn't come at a better time as tensions have rose on the team and we all need a break especially with my recent two restrictions on Facebook things had to get scaled back especially with where my team has a team chat which we have moved over to Skype fully for that. Anyways here are the updates:

Entertainment Man Podcast: Next Thursday a week from now, I will have a special announcement for you guys pertaining the future of the podcast as you guys been asking if it will be back in 2023. As you know it's become quite a popular podcast and that will be answered next week for you guys. I have also recorded and edited both the interview with John and next week's special announcement podcast. 

Power Rangers Collab Podcast: I have pushed over the start of Super Samurai to next Wednesday as I have time before him and I record the next season which will be mid May to the week after Mid May. Immediately I finish that, I will start on Megaforce and Super Megaforce as we are aiming end of June and early to Mid July so we can try and keep up before we are off for the summer and back in October for Dino Charge and Super Dino Charge.                                   

The After Show With Amy F: This week and for this week only, it will be recorded Saturday Morning at 11 am EST and up by 4 pm EST Saturday afternoon on YouTube and Audio ONLY. Reason behind this is because of our work schedule is in and out this weekend ,we're off one day then we're active on saturday then off for two days after that due to Easter weekend so we apologize but next week we should be back to a more normal schedule next week. If this works out we can definitely look into this for future episodes.

             Anyways that is the updates for this week, a lot of stuff has gone on this week with my Facebook restrictions for no apparent reason to working on content and what not. However I think going on an easy schedule is a good thing but still very busy wrapping things up for the week before the Easter break for all of us for at least 3 of those 4 days at the most. We will try and make posts over the weekend to keep social media active over the weekend but I will talk to you all on Tuesday, have a fantastic long weekend and I will talk to you all on Tuesday. 

Chris

What's My Role On The After Show With Amy F?

                What is my role with The After Show With Amy F? A little of everything! 

- Writer: Coming up with questions when she is stumped on questions for each episode, also ideas to help expand the horizon with her podcast in Survivor content. 

- Technical Director: Also if she runs into trouble and that has happened in the early half especially with me on as a guest host I do not know if you guys noticed that echo of my voice well it was cause she didnt have headphones when I was on so that was fixed. Also Skype not picking up the video feed was an issue as well so that was a problematic issue but all figured it out.

- Editor: Got editor privelages, actually I'm an owner on that channel but any revenue goes towards her when she eventually gets and hopefully monetized on YouTube. I can edit the descriptions to help her get more hits, more views as she knows, I've been in the YouTube game for a very long time and she knows and appreciates my help to help this podcast grow. Also editing in the intro which is easy to do and takes second to put together which completes and makes the podcast awesome for Audio ONLY. 

- Fill In Host: Almost happened last week as she had a medical emergency last week that I had to assume the role as Fill In Host and I was ready but she was just fine! I was honored she wanted me to fill in and I am on call if she needs me to assume the role as Fill In/or Guest Host whatever you wanan call that role. 

               I know that there are other roles with the Podcast that I probably didn't say but this is the main roles within the podcast and I am excited to have a role on this podcast and be a part of what is an amazing podcast. I am a Production Staff, I have numerous roles on the podcast and just happy to be a part of this even in the smallest way. Anyways that is my post for today, hope you guys enjoyed this and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Chris

                  I know this is extremely late but trying to do 100 things at once wasn't easy. Anyways today's post and last post of the week, I wanna talk about our YouTube Channel.

                   There is the list of shows that we are currently covering and not all shows are listed on the website yet as of yet but we will get to that eventually and I have decided because of the number of posts we have made today on FB especially, we have decided to hold off on the Video post till today. I know we have a ton of updates today and working hard on the content but I think you guys can wait till tomorrow at noon EST. This post is still going up but we wanna save the content for tomorrow for this week at the most. Anyways have a great weekend and I will talk to you all on Tuesday!
