Kass and Cody Take on a Difficult Subject

Season 2 Coming Soon (Pending Structural Repairs)

This week, Ryan tries to record… but the Niche Nook Studios has other plans. Between loud hammering, union-mandated lunch chants, Nerf snipers, and the occasional chainsaw, things get chaotic fast. We’re hitting pause for a few weeks while the dust (and possibly the drywall) settles while we get things ready for season 2. Follow us on social media and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts so you don’t miss our return -- hopefully unscathed! Brace yourself.

Kass and Cody Take on a Difficult Subject

Kass loves Broadchurch. Cody hasn’t seen it. In this episode, Kass makes the case for why Broadchurch is such a powerful and enduring series, focusing on its themes, performances, and emotional impact rather than a spoiler-heavy recap. Cody comes in fresh, asking questions and digging into what makes the show stand out from other crime dramas. Content note: discussion includes themes of murder and sexual assault.

Episode 13 Trailer

What do Crowley, The 13th Doctor, Queen Elizabeth II, Anthony Bridgerton, and Richard Madoc all have in common? Next week's episode of the Niche Files! We will be discussing some difficult topics this time around, but we still hope you’ll join us as we discuss the BBC’s Broadchurch.

The Most Magical Place in Indiana

This week on The Niche Files, Ryan drags us headfirst into his childhood nostalgia with a deep dive into Holiday World -- the surprisingly wholesome Midwest theme park with free soft drinks, free sunscreen, wooden roller coasters, and a delightful amount of history and lore. We chat about the rides, water coasters, food, accessibility, and all the little details that make this place such a joy. Come for the theme park stories, stay for the shared nostalgia, food envy, and the warm realization that Holiday World is a genuinely happy place.

Episode 12 Trailer

After a short vacation, The Niche Files is back, and Ryan is already planning a field trip. In this teaser, we start talking about childhood favorite theme parks, questionable ride safety, and why Kass might be actively tempting fate at this point.
