It is not a lot of work just the website but Chris is planning to get actual custom made forms for the website working and he has a very better knowledge of how it works now and nobody helped him with that nor the chatroom that was suppose to be here on the website. He has been dabbling more and more into coding and he's enjoyed tinkering with the code to make it the way he wants it done. So the forms we have right now are temporary but hope by the fall to have it all updated to the new one.
Chris has recorded a bunch more episodes for the podcast and he might not have it all edited but this week, he's posted less as he has been away but soon as he gets back, he will be editing everything that he hasn't edited yet and the reason why he's been busy with friends which is understandable but he's gotten a bunch of work done but once he's back, it's full throttle both with Bob and his episodes, Larry and his episodes and his solo episodes he will have a ton of stuff going up including Reality TV Recaps as well. I'm not sure which one he's wanting to do this summer and I couldn't tell you and it almost sounds like it will be more Amazing Race Canada and eventually Amazing Race US.
Talk soon,

Already posted the platforms but I wanna talk about this: Because not within a hour or so the podcast started to flourish already onto other platforms! Which is incredible and one of them being GoodPods which they actually follow me on Twitter so they've seen my updates on the preparation of the merge so they knew it was coming so big thank you to them for picking it up. Already claimed it on the app I was quick to getting it.
Now I have added the podcast to two platforms: First one is obviously iTunes which had to go through a lot of hoops and fences to get it on there. Meaning they had to process the feed then the image was not the right size so I have to resize that to 1400x1400 but I should know the requirements for that, been on iTunes for a long time now and should of known better but am on there. Also added the podcast to Spotify too so it is on there as well. Other platforms include Podparadise, Podbean. So we are underway with bringing the podcast back up and running and it will expand over time I'm sure. I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

Despite the mishap of tech issues with the main RSS Feed and the fact I have decided to stay put cause of the amount of support I have had the podcast and to start over again wouldn't be right. So I've decided to stay put for now and any new projects I can start on castbox but that is later on. The Audio ONLY seems to keep on the consistent amount of listens per week and it just seems to stay very consistent but some weeks are higher. I see a trend, 38 listens or higher for the regular episodes and there is episodes I have gotten 50 listens for exaple the interview I did with Hamish that did really, really well and I am very impressed with it honestly. I know I can manage even on my own when there isn't a schedule interview a certain week, doesn't matter I always pull in the listeners every week. I know that one episode seemed to have disappeared and that episode didn't do well so they did me a favor I guess.
Now the YouTube side of things, that has done extremely well for me with the last interview I conducted on the podcast for just over 30 views which is rare for me in all the years that I have had a channel and I am quite impressed. People who wanna doubt me think again cause it is doing well. I know I didn't make the best decisions with Entertainment Man Podcast but I am getting better at the business decisions on it and I have to try and listen to my gut instinct when it comes to the decision making. I am proud of myself that I am able to make the right decisions and just gotta remember to keep on making those right decisions. I am going to continue on all the different platforms and just keep this thing growing bigger and better as the weeks go on. That is my post, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

It is not exactly ChrisBOnTheWeb.com that's experiencing the growing pains, well yes it's growing the site has experienced a ton of growth but this time I am talking about Entertainment Man Podcast. As you know with the views growing on the podcast has equaled a bunch of issues and it is definitely some growing pains that I am experiencing once again. It is what it is and I just gotta tackle one thing at a time when it comes to these technical issues and luckily it has nothing to do with the recording, I think it's platforms cannot handle my crazy personality... LOL... Guess that is what happens when something you love doing continuously grows well you know what hits the fan and that's OK. That is why there is support emails to get help when something like this goes wrong like it has this week.
I guess this is a bit of an update because what I am saying is the listens popped back up but the crazy stupid loop issue last I checked it was still looping at the end which it ain't me as other platforms are fine and the hard copy which I physically checked on my computer was just fine all together. So definitely is a Stitcher. It is nice I am keeping you guys in the loop and when I said I wasn't going to promote it, I meant it. That is me refusing to promote the platform cause I do not need YOU guys to listen to a dumb loop at the end. I thought about actually recording it to show you guys one day what happened but thought however decided to not do it. I have supported Stitcher for nearly 5 years now and haven't had an issue with them since the earlier years which is now behind me. However I plan on promoting Player FM instead at this moment and starting this weekend I will be promoting it and already started changing the links around ahead of schedule and yes I checked the links.
