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.

What's Going on With The CBOTW Show?

             I know YouTube has become a stressful platform. I thought all our episodes The  CBOTW Show was going to work but the premiere cut out after 10 - 20 mins into  the premiere which got me very, very upset and more agitated with the platform but playing it back didn't work. I think having 3 channels is a little much right now. So The CBOTW Show is staying Audio ONLY for now and maybe 3 channels was not the right move for us perhaps plus Twitch. 

             So maybe I need to focus on the 2 channels and shrink things down ChrisBOnTheWeb Media channel and Entertainment Man Podcast. Maybe one day we will go back to video for The CBOTW Show but who knows. We are taking a step back for now and focusing on the Audio ONLY for The CBOTW Show while Entertainment Man Podcast is on YouTube and with me streaming on weekends for you guys those will be my 2 primary focus. Anyways that is the blog post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Feeling Nervous About The Schedule Changes...

               I feel very nervous when it comes to these changes that I am making to the podcasts and I know I asked you guys first if you were OK with these changes and most of you said yes so that means you guys were ok with the changes that were being made. I even reached out on all the platforms if this was ok with you guys and you guys said that is fine. So I do not know why I am feeling these nerves 

            And I know it will be a big success going with weekly shows. It'll take you guys some time to get use to the new schedule and how it works but this way we can produce both shows and air both shows during the week which is the reason behind the changes that we made. Trust me there is a reason for all these changes and it is so we can produce and post up both on a weekly basis. So in conclusion there should be no reason honestly to be nervous I am sure you guys will receive these changes with a positive feedback and you guys have asked The CBOTW Show isn't weekly and something I will get into on tomorrow's Podcast but I will talk to you then.

End of The Week Updates [05-11-2024]

                This is my final end of the week updates for 2 weeks as Chris has given me next week off from the blog and plus there will not be a lot of updates to be given that week as he's away half of the week and I wish him a safe travel and to have a good time. So to the updates, Chris has finished up all the recordings and finishing up editing the podcast editing for the next 2 weeks till he's back and ready to get back into recording new episodes. He isn't booking any new interviews right now till he gets back and settled back in and sounds like start of June for him to start back up with interviews again.

                The Discord server continues to flourish and grow and is always busy and active especially with my best friend, Brooke as an intern with ChrisBOnTheWeb Media who's help Chris, Larry and I run the server. Also the Facebook Group has returned and is active as well as ever can be which is great to see. Chris will be back in about 2 weeks from today for streaming and excited to catch back up with you all with the streams again on weekends. Finally, he plans on working on The CBOTW Show for future episodes before he leaves for Quebec on Wednesday this upcoming week and going to see how much he can get done. So there are the updates for the week, I will be monitoring the socials, email and Discord as always if you have any questions as Chris will be away, he's left me in charge and I will speak to you all 2 weeks from now.

End of The Week Updates [04-04-2024]

                    Here are your updates for the end of the week on May 4th, 2024 and oh Happy Star Wars Day, May the 4th be with you all. Chris has been extremely busy all week long from recording Entertainment Man Podcast which he has finished those up for this weekend and the weekend he is back from Quebec as he's started to go into holiday mode soon. He has finished up any blogs for the week he's away so this way he doesn't have to worry about it during the time he's away on holidays.  He is finally on The CBOTW Show this weekend working away on The Simpsons episodes he been wanting to work on for a while. Probably take him about half a week to finish those. 

                   I know our Discord Server was taken down then brought back and doing a ton better. Chris has improved it and really gave it a sleek look with the layout of the channels. He finally finished up the server and fully functional and operational at the moment. Chris has also brought back the old group page as well for Behind The Scenes looks and discussions. Already 20 something members strong on there as well. Both buttons have been added to this website the first FB logo is the fan page and the second is the group. Also the Discord is at the far right of all the logos. Those are my updates, a lot that has gone on this week and I will talk to you all next week, have a good weekend.

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.

End of The Week Updates [04-26-2024]

               This is the last end of the week updates for the month of April. I cannot believe next week, we are already in May. Soon we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in November which is very exciting. The updates Chris has already recorded and edited the interview with Jayson and is airing tomorrow at 1 pm EST.  He has been writing blog after blog for the entire week in May that he is away on holidays from May 15th - 19th, 2024 with him back on the weekend on the 19th. 

                 He has also worked on YouTube Shorts for one of those podcasts and the interview episode. He still has to work on the final episode this weekend and that is the plan for today before his 1 pm EST stream is to record that podcast and edit it. After that I believe he has some open time and I believe he will be working on The CBOTW Show episodes, The Simpsons and then after working on Entertainment Man new episodes for the future. Either way he is getting things done before he goes away in May. He sure deserves the time off. I will talk further what is going on for the week he is away for 5 days on May 11th but I will speak to you all next week.

Kelsie

When will record more episodes of The CBOTW Show?

              I know, I know! I hear you guys and wondering when Larry and I will resume recording new episodes of the podcast? Probably Early June, Mid June at this current moment. May 22nd, 2024 is the last one being posted up. This will conclude our journey with Power Rangers for now unless we have news but at this moment it is just all rumors and speculations which we do not want to do a podcast if it is just plain rumors at the moment but once we know we will dive into another podcast.

              For right now we're on hiatus and want to work on some movies for a change. Particularly Mighty Ducks Movies 1, 2 & 3. That is on our list for together. As for me, I will be continuing on with The Simpsons as I have plenty of episodes I would like to talk about and even more Rodney Dangerfield & John Candy movies I want to cover including The Great Outdoors. However you cannot forget about me working on Corner Gas soon so Bob and I can record that this summer at some point. Also I will be starting on Ghostwriter a series from the 1990's. Anyways that is a bit more of an expanded version what is next for us and when we are at after May. Anyways that is the post for today, as always I will speak to you all on Monday for another blog post.

Content Schedule Changes 2025!

           As you know by the recent poll I made I have made the decision to drop the bonus episode of Entertainment Man Podcast On Wednesdays. To be honest, I don't have a topic that is less time as I go between 15 - 20 minutes long and the views for Wednesday shows hasn't been great. You guys love the long form content. So replacing that podcast is The CBOTW Show but it will be premiering on Wednesdays @ 6 pm EST. Here is the schedule starting January 1st, 2025:

Sundays: 1 pm EST- Entertainment Man Podcast (YouTube/Audio ONLY) Will be premiered

                  2 pm EST (Sporadically): Gaming Stream (YouTube/Twitch) LIVE

Monday - Saturdays: Daily Blogs

Wednesdays: 6 pm EST- The CBOTW Show (YouTube/Audio ONLY) Will be premiered

Saturdays: 1 pm EST- Weekly Chat (Facebook/YouTube/Twitch) LIVE

          So that is the schedule moving forward as we continue to grow our network and we test and add new content to the network, this is a good start for us right now. Anyways that is the post for today as always thank you for reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Balancing Between Our 2 Podcasts

              Balancing 2 podcasts is not an easy thing to do. We have "Entertainment Man Podcast" then you also have The CBOTW Show for the two shows we currently. Going through each week from recording episodes I usually record Wednesdays for the Sunday if it is just a topic episode as recording sessions vary from Sunday to Friday's normally. Not only that Fridays before the following Wednesday's are my usually day for recording the Wednesday episode whether it is Entertainment Man Podcast or The CBOTW Show that is when I record those.

              However it isn't easy managing two shows and why there is going to be some minor changes that brings big news for one of the shows which I will get into tomorrow on the blog. So I have to make sure to be recording on the days of so this way I stay on track and on schedule which has been easy with content has been recorded for The CBOTW Show since Larry and I are on a hiatus from recording new episodes as we have episodes awaiting for us to release over the next month. We have gotten better at managing the shows and staying on track. Anyways that is the post for today, thank you for reading the post and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

End of The Week Updates [04-20-2024]

                It a tough end of the week updates for us once again. Everything is upside down right now for the team right now. Right now Chris is editing his heart out and haven't had time to work on new episodes and no time for the blogs while he's away but he is making that the second priority actually after he edits the audio only from Thursday night. He is making it the upmost important plus he needs to record one more podcast while he's away so he is getting into vacation mode right now. 

              I want to welcome Karla to our moderator team on Discord and all the YouTube Channels and Twitch. Another amazing addition to the Mod Team as the server is very active and a lot of fun to be around no matter what day or night it's somehow always going off with new comments and we appreciate it. Also Chris wanted me to mention that next Wednesday will be a premiere @ 1 pm EST for The CBOTW Show and the airing of the Power Rangers Podcast after a very long hiatus with the podcast. After next Wednesday there will be one more podcast plus 2 weeks after that there Power Rangers Reboot plus what's next for our podcast. That is everything I needed to say, I will speak to you guys next week for another "end of the week updates."

Not Sure What's Next for The CBOTW Show!

                Now that it has been OFFICIALLY 2 weeks since Larry and I recorded Dino Fury Season 2 & Cosmic Fury, the finale of the franchise + the one off that we did, I'm not sure what is on tap for June for Larry and I wise. We haven't gotten that far into it as right now as at this moment of time, we are posting and publishing the episodes that we have recorded thus far. 

              We really haven't looked at what's next and we honestly haven't had that conversation honestly. We've been enjoying our time off air to really hangout and have some fun in our lives. So I cannot predict what is next for the podcast but The Mighty Ducks movies is suppose to be next on the list but the question is when are we going to be recording this podcast. I've heard June maybe July at the most now. I am also trying to get the guys in for Entertainment Man so I am trying to do both and it isn't easy. So it is all about a balance between both podcasts and I will talk about that in May a little bit in a post while I am away but for right now that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

What's Next For The CBOTW Show?

            With Power Ranger Podcast wrapped up production what is next for The CBOTW Show. Well haven't really come to that point but it will be between me doing solo episodes, The Simpsons and Mighty Ducks 1, 2 & 3. Also that is on the plans is to work on Corner Gas but it could take weeks months but that is OK I can try and squeeze it in. I'm sure that I will some how get to it soon as possible. I just haven't figured out how I will format the episodes and maybe I will talk to my guest about it first see if he has ideas for it. 

       That is everything that is being planned for now and I have nothing planning beyond August for now and I do not plan on going to far but let's say that Larry will be back more in September I am not sure when The Mighty Ducks movie chats will be posted up. Again we haven't come that point as of yet as we are currently planning 2 podcasts for the other podcast in the nearby future so it will be tough to say at this point. Anyways that is the post for today and that is sort of the plan moving forward and nothing too strenuous and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Chris

Getting Frustrated

             YouTube was a bit of a pain in the butt. Was having issues with a "Processing Error" on there and you can understand the frustration and truly my anxiety went through the roof on this. I have been fighting this for a while now. I just want to get these finished so I can move on but I think it's definitely a YouTube issue not me. However we know it is a longer episode, hour and a half long, 1 hour long and 18 minutes long so and the first and third one went up no problem whatsoever so that is really strange.

            But I continued to trying to get it up so you guys get to see this but now I need to try and keep episodes to at least an hour long for the nearby future because I have uploaded an hour podcast on "Entertainment Man Podcasts" YouTube Channel with 0 problems. Just this channel seems to be the problematic issue right now. It does sound like something YouTube related cause Entertainment Man hasn't had a problem in the past! Anyways that is the blog post for today, I thank you for reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

End of the Week Updates [04-06-2024]

               A lot has gone on this week and let me start with podcasts, Entertainment Man Podcast has now reached 242nd episode which is amazing and big congratulations to Chris reaching that peak amount of episodes. As you know Chris and Larry have now completed Power Rangers Podcast, the editing process has begun and I have the honor to working on The CBOTW Show. I never thought he'd ask me to help and I feel privileged to help out. 

         So we continue to release and he has mentioned he will be working on Entertainment Man Podcast and is the next thing he is planning to work on next and excited to be working on these plans. Also something he didn't mention to you guys is he is going to pre-plan out The CBOTW Show with the Simpsons episodes he wants to cover on the podcast. He is planning on doing those. Also he wants to actually work and prepare these ahead of schedule before they are being recorded and posted. He wants to leave it open for now. That is everything I wanted to cover for today, enjoy your weekend and talk to you guys next week!

Post Power Rangers Podcast Check-in!

               Now with Power Rangers done and Power Rangers Podcast now on Hiatus for right now, I feel the sense of relief. I know you are shocked to hear this from me but now that it has wrapped up production I do not know what I will do with my time after editing is completed and I am currently working on it at this moment. It feels weird to not have to do anything now. I can work around other projects, I have a ton of Entertainment Man Podcast episodes I want to write and have done and ready and the list is pretty endless so I'd like to work on that for a while and it's not too much work but something on the list. 

               With being in post production, editing is taking place and we are working hard to get both the video and audio only and excited to be releasing these to you guys soon. I have handed off an episode to Kelsie to help out with the editing process to speed it up so it is ready to go. This is why we moved the Mean Girls Reboot to next week instead so gives us more time to work and edit but I am sure it will be done quickly. We edit at a good speed so it is done. Anyways that is the check-in blog and have a great weekend as Kelsie is doing the end of the week updates and I will talk to you all on Monday!

Chris

Been an emotional week.

             This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions for Larry and I. I've tried to hold back the tears knowing that this is the end game for us and we've finally reached the end of the long road. You have to remember Larry and I been doing this podcast for 5 and a half years and it is a lot of blood, sweat and tears that we put into the shows we put out there between 30 - 35 shows entirely. That is a lot of shows to be done and it's amazing that we've actually come this far. Because originally we were going to stop after the Zordon era and we haven't really been open to saying that but we can now that we've concluded the entire franchise now. 

            So this week is emotional and it will take time for me to readjust to the new schedule and getting use to something new that we are working on and I can talk about that tomorrow on the blog if you guys want which I plan on writing about tomorrow's blog post. I am hanging in there mentally and emotionally and plan on just relaxing this weekend and taking a break before I start editing heavily. I can say this I plan on releasing the Mean Girls Reboot next week instead then Power Rangers will be released after that. Just a little switch. I probably already put a schedule out there for you guys but that is the post for today, I will as always talk to you all tomorrow! 

Chris

End of The Week Updates [03-30-2024]

           Another long week is over for us. It has been a barrel of stress for us all. As you know this week I was named the new Chief Operating Officer, also known as the COO. I am so thrilled and excited Chris named me for this role on the team which covers the same jobs as before, helping out the community, answering emails, Facebook and Twitter messages. But also help with planning events both Online and in person. 

           I know Chris hasn't had the time to finish working on Power Rangers Podcast for The CBOTW Show but spent yesterday and yesterday night and today on watching the series to try and get it done. Now Entertainment Man Podcast is edited and ready for release tomorrow afternoon and he has to still put the episode information up on this very website. 

           He will be talking about this next week but reason for no blog yesterday, he gave all of us the day off including him even though he said he's going to be working on the season but got busy with other things I guess. This also reminds me to remind you no blog on Monday and we will be running on a 5 day week for blog rather then the normal 6 day blog but we will be on a 5 day as we're off tomorrow and Monday for work wise and taking some very well earned time off. Also Chris will be doing a split streams between Facebook and Instagram so be sure to check those out! Those are the updates and rather a very long update but I will talk to you all at the end of the upcoming week and wish you all a very Happy Easter from all of us, here at ChrisBOnTheWeb Media. 

Kelsie, COO (Chief Operating Officer) 

Our Process With Podcasting

              This blog post was inspired and requested by Reena who was on my podcast several weeks ago so big shoutout to her. Podcasting is a lot of work from the pre-production to the production to post production so I want to break this blog down to 3 parts from our perspective:

Pre-Production: Getting an idea whether it is a topic or getting a guest for Entertainment Man Podcast or a movie or TV show to recap for The CBOTW Show, it all starts with an idea. The creating podcast notes for the episodes and it comes from the idea, I have to come up with at least 4 - 6 pages of notes especially for Entertainment Man Podcast. Now The CBOTW Show comes with a movie or TV Show, then watching the TV Show or movie and taking notes.

Production: Is getting the episode recorded. It is basically sitting down and recording. Now not every episode for Entertainment Man Podcast is LIVE on the air but other then that it is pre-recorded. Production side, Entertainment Man Podcast is both YouTube-Video/Audio ONLY and The CBOTW Show is just on Audio ONLY.

Post Production: Editing the video/audio only for Entertainment Man Podcast and Audio Only for The CBOTW Show making sure it is to my liking for publishing. Which brings to the next point I use my Corel Studio Video Studio for editing the video and Audacity for the audio. The next thing I want to mention is scheduling the podcast, putting in the tags both on YouTube and Audio, also posting it on the website on the day of. The last part I want to share is clipping the best moments, even though I've had hate but that's been the best part of the views on the channel and gets people more interested. The clips though are just for video side of things, YouTube/TikTok and sometimes Facebook/X/Instagram from time to time. 

              So that is OUR process as podcasters in our network and what we go through a week to week basis. Quite a journey that we go through together. Again big shoutout to Reena for this idea and I will talk to you all tomorrow about The CBOTW Show that is bothering me at this moment. 

Chris

End of The Week Updates [04-22-2024]

              At least this week, I am ahead of schedule and I have the blog post out on time. Anyways there is a several updates to report to you all:

1) The first thing is Chris has been busy recording and editing this week. He recorded early week the Anxiety episode he wanted to talk about and is out and the most recent episode to date right now here on the website, other audio only platforms and of course YouTube

2) He recorded Power Rangers Dino Fury season 1 which should be done by today at the most. 

3) He had another interview, this time with David Hirsch which I am excited to hear as I heard it went very well. He's been busy editing everything and putting it together. 

4) Also he is working on season 2 now and hopes to have it done by Monday or Tuesday at the latest so he can work on and complete the 30th season, Cosmic Fury by end of next week so he can start working on Entertainment Man Podcast fully.

          Lots of work to be done and I continue to work on graphics when needed and answering the emails for him trying to cover him while he gets all this work done and I have a lot of faith he will get it done. That is the post for this week and I will speak to you all next Friday.
