In this episode I’m joined by longtime indie podcaster Bubbawheat, who has been podcasting since 2012 and is a brilliant example of what it means to stay consistent, go niche, and keep creating for the love of it.
Bubbawheat shares how he got started with a superhero movie blog (Flights, Tights, and Movie Nights), which evolved into several podcasts, including FilmWhys, It’s Time to Rewind, and his newest creative challenge, Reel Crime Scenes.We talk about:
How he built a 200+ episode podcast focused entirely on time loops
His process for breaking down movies one minute at a time
The value of finding your voice in solo vs. group podcasts
How to research, script, and edit efficiently (without burning out)
Collaborating with fellow indie podcasters—and even film actors
Staying motivated when you’re podcasting in a small but loyal niche
Featured Projects by Bubbawheat:
It’s Time to Rewind – Time loop TV + movies, one loop at a time
Reel Crime Scenes – A creative true crime-style podcast based on fictional plots
FilmWhys – A cult classic/superhero movie swap podcast
He also shares what it’s like creating content for a super-specific audience and why niche creators shouldn’t chase trends or fame—just make content they genuinely love.
