Hello ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching!
I'm your host TheReportOfTheWeekk and welcome to this newest video!
As I was kind of setting up the scene and, you know, getting... getting pumped up, getting ready for this, you know?
I was trying to think what is... what is a way that I can I can make just a brilliant,
masterful,
artistic,
captivating lead-in? And I thought to myself, "You know? There isn't!"
The title gives it all away.
And how about we just get right down to business - right down to the basics. And
then, if I just want to go on some long-winded tangent about whatever,
then we'll go from there. Right? I made a second channel.
I did indeed. I made a second YouTube channel and
I'm just gonna talk about, well: What it is. How you can find it. And, you know, what you're gonna find on it.
You might be saying, "Buy.. Why Reviewbrah?" You know?
"Why did you make a second youtube channel? Did you... did you finally just did did you just snap?"
"Are you just feeling that adventurous or was there, was this some sort of
decision that was well thought out and well planned? Or did you just have one too many last night and were just feeling
"spontaneous" right? What what what exactly is all this this this mystery behind the second channel?"
Alright, so here's what we have:
You know how in most of my recent videos?
Even if you watch regularly or infrequently probably for the last year, you know how I've promoted my radio show, right?
You know who I said?
Well, if you're interested in the radio show check it out on SoundCloud or TuneIn or on shortwave or whatever. And
I always tried to do that as a reminder and a means of advertising.
But I I know it would be much to the annoyance of some people watching.
What I decided to do, as I said to myself, alright...
The media landscape in
2019 is, you know, it's changing and whether I like it or not, I have to understand that.
I have to understand that it's it's changed and that it's a different world out there. That...
Yes,
having something exclusively on SoundCloud and shortwave will reach an audience.
But there are better ways to maximize that - get that
potential out there. Because a lot of people have contacted me and they've said, you know, "Look! I think you should make this show
into a podcast."
And I said, you know what? Alright, I'm finally gonna do it and I did!
So with that, I am pleased to announce the
premiere of my second YouTube channel! You could find it at
youtube.com/vorwpodcast
That's just one word. You know? VORWPODCAST
And that's it! You know? Just youtube.com/vorwpodcast
I just want you to subscribe to it right now. Check it out! And...
This is going to serve
as a resource
toward distributing my podcast,
getting it out there on a wider platform and to a wider broader audience.
A lot of people, you know, who've been with the channel for a long time or who haven't, you know, who've just been
new viewers - you might remember back when I used to do the the VORW shows on
on this very channel! And...
First and foremost: VORW - It stands for Voice Of the Report of the Week. That's just what it stands for. Okay?
So that's out. Now, you know what it means, you know, it doesn't doesn't ...
Whatever! You know what that stands for.
I used to do the VORW shows on this very channel and you can find it actually.
I did a whole, I still have, a whole playlist of these shows.
I probably did over 100 of them and
a lot of people thought that they were just really soothing and, you know, relaxing and calming. And...
What ended up happening over the years is, as the channel started getting two different audiences, you know -
cause people were tuning in for the food reviews and there was also significant audience tuning in for these
VORW shows - I felt that as the channel was growing rapidly, I needed to make a choice. And I decided to emphasize
just the video related content on this YouTube channel.
And as a result, I kind of just took a break from doing the online VORW show. Well, time passed, you know?
And of course,
with the YouTube algorithm having changed, you know,
If suddenly you take a drastic shift in content and start putting it on this one single channel,
It's gonna confuse a lot of viewers. And you're gonna be looking at this and you'll be like, "You know, what?"
"What am I seeing exactly? And, also, it'll mess up the algorithm and everything will get thrown off! And...
While I had gotten back into doing radio
broadcasting, I was doing it via alternate platforms,
I was doing it on SoundCloud and then shortwave radio, which does reach an audience.
Don't get me wrong! People still listen to it. But, of course, most of you tuning in on YouTube, it may not necessarily
apply and I understand that and
I wanted to make an effort to grow this show.
So what I decided to do is,
you know, strip it of music. So it's just like a talk only. It's a talk show, right? It's like a podcast.
It's what it really is at this point. And
start getting it to as many of these platforms as I can.
So, the other day, I created this YouTube channel, again: VORW Podcast
And I do the show every Thursday.
And it's it's, you know, an indeterminate length.
It's probably anywhere from maybe 20 minutes to an hour and the show as described...
Well, of course by myself, but as other people have too.
Is just a relaxing, light entertainment program, where I just I share my thoughts on
topics big or small, current events social issues. I like to talk a lot about philosophy
and moral subjects, but I'll also just take
listener requests. You know? I'll say, "Look. There's a topic you want to hear?
You can shoot me an email and maybe you'll hear me talk about it." So I'll end up talking about anything.
I remember in one show a few weeks back, I was talking about vinyl records and
pizzas and radio and, you know, all sorts of topics. You know? It's just a fun -
It's a fun show that maybe provides a little bit of entertainment, insight and perhaps perspective as well.
And anyway...
I'm just trying to do my best to get this out there more. Again: Get it to an audience that may potentially be interested.
So, as a result again,
I made this YouTube channel that has about 15 or so old
shows and then the new programs are going to be uploaded every Thursday.
That's just a day where, you know, I have an upload schedule there.
So every Thursday the new podcasts are going to be uploaded at this channel.
And I am also working to get the podcast on a variety of other sites. As of now, I've applied to
TuneIn - Where it has been accepted!
So if you prefer using tune in, you can just go to the TuneIn app, just type in VORW and
what's going to come up right away is the VORW International Podcast.
That's my show. So you could find it right now on TuneIn! listen any time. If you like that, find it there.
I submitted it to iTunes.
So fingers crossed that it'll get approved!
Hopefully it will. Got it submitted also to Spotify, to Google Podcasts and
to Stitcher.
Again, all of those are awaiting approval, but you know we'll hope that it goes through anyway.
And I'm just really trying to do a ton of work to just get it out there to a broader audience and
one of the ways of doing so is through this second YouTube channel.
So if you would like to hear my thoughts on things other than food,
other than
food related topics. This is the channel for you. And I really recommend you check it out!
Because, again, this show it's it's miscellaneous talks about anything, anything under the Sun really.
And just a lot of people too have said it's relaxing,
informative and could kind of be like that ASMR type of stuff - and what I always jokingly say it,
but I mean it with sincerity: If it helps you get to sleep, more power to You! So I hope you could give it a
listen! Check it out!
Of course, you could still find it at: soundcloud.com/vorw But a lot of people, you know, they said, "Well,
I don't want to have to fiddle around with a shortwave radio or I don't like using SoundCloud or TuneIn.
Can you just upload it to YouTube or these other
Podcast based sites?" And that's exactly what I'm doing now.
One final note: So again, you can find the channel, I'm just gonna shout the link out one more time!
youtube.com/vorwpodcast And again, please be sure to subscribe to it! And...
You know, I know I know everyone hates it: But enable the notifications! So you know
when the new podcasts are released. On one final note: If you still listen regularly on
SoundCloud,
Nothing really changes, you know? I'm just still gonna be keeping it going, you know.
No issues there. That's going to be the main distribution platform. If you listen in on the shortwave radio:
Only change is that the broadcast every Saturday 6 p.m. Eastern
9395 kilohertz - that's discontinued. And the broadcast at 8 p.m
Eastern on 4840 kilohertz are discontinued as well.
So the transmissions on Saturdays are no more but all the other shortwave broadcasts are still going out there
to the audience's that still tune in via those means
because you might not think of it as so but shortwave radio still has some life in it in 2019.
And that's why I try to make sure that this, you know, this show goes out via all all platforms -
Shortwave and internet included. So thank you!
Hope you enjoyed the video and I really hope you could check out my second YouTube channel.
Like I said,
I think it's going to be a lot of fun for those who maybe want to delve a little more into and, you know,
see what's beyond the food reviews. Please check it out! With that said, on the subject of food reviews,
I'm gonna be checking out some new items from Wendy's probably coming up in a few days. So stay tuned for that!
Thank you. Take care. I'm your host TheReportOfTheWeek.
