End of The Week Updates [10-18-2024]

              Well another wild week has come to an end. Time for some updates. Anyways, I have finished up with recording or pretty much have now in editing mode but still need to work on this weekend's episode as it will be important to complete as I will be away Sunday and Monday so this way when I get back I can work on the other 3 episodes for The CBOTW for the week of Halloween. I have 2 episodes for that podcast on for next Wednesday, and the following Wednesday and I need Monday, Tuesday and Thursday done.

              Website has been accelerating fast and we finally have a solution for an audio embed. We will be embedding the Podbean feed for each and every episode. Now The CBOTW Show will be getting the same thing and in due time we will be adding to our Arsenault of podcasts so to speak our Reality TV podcasts as Larry and I have decided to merge Reality TV Podcasts to our current show. However this doesn't mean we will be taking down Everything About Reality TV poster off our wall in the studio just means we will be redoing intros and outros to the podcasts and actually putting The CBOTW Show to the list. This does mean there will be over 300 episodes on The CBOTW Show and I will NOT be deleting the old episodes from our archives, they will stay in those archives as well. Anyways those are the updates as always I will talk to you guys on Monday or Tuesday.

Audacity Doesn't like OBS running together?

             Audacity and OBS are like oil and vinegar and I know it's a strange analogy to go by but this has been a problem for the past year or two now and it doesn't like it when OBS is running at the same time of Audacity and seems to be OBS but I am am trying to see if I can fix it before moving over to Prism Studios Live. I think I know the problem and I am writing this ahead of schedule so it might be fixed but we'll see. 

             You never let a good man down. I know I can fix it and might end up be able to use it tomorrow for the podcasts with Larry and I together. I finally figured out the issue it was OBS that was being an old stick in the mud and seems to be the problem  9 times out of the 10. However a simple reboot of the program clears it all up all the ongoing problem but the downside is I have to reset all the scenes again. I must of pressed something I wasn't suppose to. Anyways it's fixed and that is the post for today, as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Entertainment Man Podcast & The CBOTW Show Pages Down?

              From Audacity doesn't like OBS which I will talk more about tomorrow to our provider we have been relying on for years now has been down for quite some time since the end of last week apparently. So we wait to start uploading to our website again. That is the reason behind it because the audio are not showing up so we took the page, well more unpublished it actually. 

              We could actually do a linked word on the bottom of each one but the one for Everything About Reality TV wouldn't work as it doesn't exist anywhere on the internet anymore. So that is my main issue. However I could and can reupload to podcasts.com and link it there but then it will seem it is active once again when it isn't. We could redo the intros and outros that's like 200 + episodes to fix haha! The CBOTW Show would out do Entertainment Man! Anyways, Both Podcast pages are temporarily down till this issue is fixed with the provider and we apologize but the archive.org got an attack on their site and it took the site down. However the shows are still active under "On Demand which direct to Spotify for the time being but we'll let you know when it is back up and running. I will talk to you tomorrow as always for another blog post.

The CBOTW Show-- Schedule Notice

            As you can tell, we have been trying struggling and I think we are just at a point of time of halting production of The CBOTW Show. We are at the last ropes with our original schedule. We may need to try and change up the schedule. What I am thinking and I haven't talked to Larry yet this week but the plan is:

Wednesday, October 16th, 2024 @ 1 pm EST: Psycho

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024 @ 1 pm EST: Addam's Family

(Special day & time) Thursday, October 31st, 2024 @ 9 pm EST: Beetle Juice 

November 1st - Nov 15th, 2024: Hiatus, due to the 10th anniversary finalizing, Entertainment Man Podcast will continue on Sundays during the finalizing of our plans. 

           So the reason behind The CBOTW Show hiatus for 14 - 15 days is because of the 10th Anniversary, we will be extremely busy with the event finalizing. However I know how important The CBOTW Show is and I have talked about The CBOTW Show on Social Media but this is where we are for the podcast but that is my post for today I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post!

End of The Week Updates [10-11-2024]

                Another crazy week has come to an end and time for some updates. First update is we are up to speed with podcasts. I am working on new episodes for both episodes and not sure what talked me into doing new episode for The CBOTW Show, yet I said there was no plans for a new episode next week so something just clicked. So I will be working on that today and tomorrow then from there I will have time after my break from ChrisBOnTheWeb Media on Sunday and Monday which I am planning to stream both days for hours on end during the daytime. 

               But Tuesday I'll be back to normal and working on new episodes for Entertainment Man Podcast and preparing for The CBOTW Show next Thursday as Larry and I will be back here in the studio for another recording session which I always look forward to before we take at least 2 - 3 more weeks or more off so we can record Christmas episodes the mid way of the month of November so we have content ready at the helm. I also want to point out November we will be back to normal content and already got two episodes planned out. I may try us at every 2 weeks for the month of November then back at it weekly to try and get to a weekly podcast again. I will talk about that on Monday for another post. Also the Discord server is finished completely and happy it is done and out of the way and ready to add subscribers role later on when and if I get affiliate. But I hope you all have a great weekend and I will talk to you all on Monday!

                  I know that I do not normally talk about stuff behind the scenes with our staff but I wanted show my appreciation for my team. There has been a bunch of promotions on our team and I want to brag about it. That is me showing how PROUD I am of my team. So here is our promotions:

Larry- He is the second longest running staff member here and he has been promoted from Senior Producer to Executive Producer for The CBOTW Show. 

Kevin- He went from Admin to Head of Moderation to now our Community Director which is a role that hasn't been filled for the longest time since our former community manager.

Brooke- She has been on and off in the community but has returned and is now my administrative Assistant, helping not only me but also helping Kevin. 

           We are one happy team and I am proud of my team. I am proud how hard we work on a daily basis. Remember the episode I recorded to celebrate your successes this is me celebrating the success my team is. I need to praise them a lot more. Their amazing individuals with their own talents and we as a team are excited to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. Anyways that is this late post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.
