A topic wheel for your podcast or video show
A wheel is a simple way to add an unscripted segment to a show. Spin for the next topic or segment and talk about whatever comes up, or load the wheel with listener questions and answer the one it lands on.

What is on this wheel
Your wheel opens as “Podcast segments” with these 8 wedges. A higher weight means a bigger wedge and a proportionally higher chance; rename, add or remove any of them.
- Listener question
- Hot take
- Story from the week
- Recommendation
- Quick-fire round
- Myth or fact
- Guest’s choice
- Unpopular opinion
Tips
- Keep a list of listener questions and paste them onto the wheel before recording.
- Remove a topic after you have covered it, and save the wheel so the next episode starts where you left off.
- For a video show, put the wheel on screen in event mode with your show colours.
- Give a regular segment a higher weight so it comes up more often than one-off topics.
Questions
Can I save the wheel between episodes?
Yes. Wheels, names and results save to your free RepBud account, and you can reopen them on another device.
Can I see which topics came up in past episodes?
Yes. The winner log records each result with a timestamp, and you can export it as CSV.
How long can a topic be?
The wheel shows up to 24 characters of each label, so use a short title and keep the whole question in your notes.
