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 recording, The Gamer From Mars YouTube channel has over 1,000,000 subscribers, 250,000,000 video views and is creating well-produced and entertaining videos about some the internet's biggest and often weirdest mysteries.

Chris Burton is the creator behind Half-Asleep Chris, a YouTube channel where vlogging meets stop motion meets building massive legoscapes meets, more often than not, cats at some point.
Since 2017, Chris has uploaded over 130 videos which have been watched 180,000,000 times - videos were Chris talks about banknotes, architecture, travelling, being British and the environment.
His wonderfully listenable voice is paired with stunning stop motion graphics which leads to a super satisfying viewing experience for his audience of 1.3 million subscribers who tune into watch Chris explain things or build things or collect things.
For some viewers, the real stars of the channel are Ralph and Bella, Chris's 2 cats who make regular appearances and are treated to some of the most spectacular cat experiences one can imagine - from elaborate cat forts and bridges and mazes to, well, 1,460 pouches of food.

In July of 2011, Jill Bearup posted an unassuming video of herself singing a beautiful acapella rendition of Want You Gone from Portal 2. 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 The Last Jedi in the cinema and decided she wanted to learn how to fight like people in movies. So she took courses in stage combat and 18 months later started making videos about it. Her YouTube channel went from 23,000 subscribers to a silver play button in two months. And now, just a year later, Jill’s channel has over 350,000 subscribers, it's her full time job, and she makes videos about stage combat, movie fights and murder dresses.
Jill Bearup is a testament to perseverance on YouTube. Keep cranking out quality content that you believe in and eventually, you can hit upon something that strikes a chord with a lot of people. Her content is fun, lively and informative…you can tell she loves what she does. And the best part? We get to learn about boob armor and how to hide a sword in a dress.

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. And we'll learn about Hygge, a word difficult to describe in English. 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 balls they’ve made. And we'll find out why Carlos recently tried to burn the house down. 😂
So pull up a comfortable chair by the fireplace and join us as we sit and maybe knit for a bit.

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 introduced a broader range of subjects to his content.
His audience approved and the channel has grown to over 800,000 subscribers with 170,000,000 video views and a wonderfully unpredictable stream of quirky videos and more serious content like Callback - a short film which was released just last month.
Graenolf join us on the podcast to discuss acting, comedy, short films and YouTube.

Trevor Poelman is the co-host and co-creator of Belief it or Not - a podcast discussing different religious sects, movements and other interesting things in the world of religion.
The belief it or not YouTube channel started at the same time as the podcast, but at the end of 2020, Trevor started uploading video essays covering these same subjects, in an in-depth video format.
It was a recipe for success and in less than a year, these well polished videos have generated millions of views and have attracted over 65,000 subscribers to the Belief it or not YouTube channel.
