Episode 153: Rhys Waters Moved from Wales to Nova Scotia to Pursue Adventure, Possibility and Podcasting

Make It with Mike and Kristen

This week, we sit down with the incredibly talented Rhys Waters, a documentary filmmaker, television & radio producer for the BBC, and comedy creator from the UK who found a new home—and a new career path—in Nova Scotia. As co-founder of Podstarter and host of Canada is Boring, Rhys has become a powerhouse in the podcasting world, helping creators bring their ideas to life with expert tech, sound, and promotion strategies.

We chat about his journey from TV and documentaries to full-time podcast production, the growth of his business in Halifax, and what makes a great podcast stand out. Rhys is also the mastermind behind some of our favourite shows, including Nancy Regan’s Canadian Love Map—which we were lucky enough to be guests on!

With his signature humour, storytelling skills, and industry expertise, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to start their own podcast or level up their existing show.

If you’ve ever dreamed of starting a podcast, this episode will give you the inspiration, knowledge, and laughs to get started!
