Chad and Steve Have a Podcast

It's been a little while since we last spoke, so in this episode we discuss where we have been, what we have been doing and what will become of Chad & Steve Have A Podcast.  We also spend like an hour talking about YouTube stuff.

Art M is the creator behind The Gamer From Mars, a YouTube channel which he started way back in 2009, when he has only 14 years old. He may not actually be from Mars and rarely does he play video games anymore, but he has built a fascinating channel that produces high quality content and has consistently evolved, grown and managed to stay relevant for well over a decade. At the time of this record...

She continued posting commentary and video essays about a wide range of pop culture, movie and tv topics including a popular series about stuff she likes called, Stuff You Like and a series on the history of fan fiction. But her life would change when she saw Th...

We're trying something a little bit different today. We call it YouTuber Roundtable and for the first time ever we have two guests on the podcast to talk YouTube!

We discuss the removal of the dislike button, shorts, staying motivated during slow periods and much, much more....

With the Holiday season in full swing, Arne and Carlos are back on the show to talk about Christmas traditions in Norway as well as their own personal Christmas traditions.

But mostly we wanted to catch up with two of our favorite guests and chat about life, their YouTube channel, and find out just how many knitted Christmas bal...

His name is Graenolf and he makes weird skits happen on YouTube. Before that he made gaming videos - building an audience of over 400,000 subscribers before turning his attention away from listicle videos and towards short comedy videos in 2018. As seemingly drastic as the change was, his new videos still focused mostly on video game culture and references, but steadily, over time, Graenolf introd...

With his channel sitting at over 97,000 subscribers, actually just 2300 shy of a Silver play button, Jay Bond of Bloodbath and Beyond made the decision to start all over with a new channel.  As YouTube reduces its emphasis on a subscription model in favor of recommended and watch-next features, we may begin to see more channels starting over to find their actual regular viewers.  Jay's new channel...
