What makes a podcast name work

  • 01

    Clear about the topic

    Names hint at the subject so a listener scrolling a directory knows what the show is before reading the description.

  • 02

    Easy to say and spell

    Titles are short and spelled the way they sound, so word-of-mouth recommendations reach the right show.

  • 03

    Tone that matches

    Serious interview shows, chatty comedy and calm wellness podcasts each get names in their own voice.

  • 04

    A note on each title

    Every name comes with a line on what it promises a listener, which helps you pitch it to a co-host.

How to choose a podcast name

Most people find a new podcast through a recommendation or a search in their podcast app. A good name helps in both places: it is easy to repeat after hearing it once, and it contains a word people would search for.

  • Put the topic in the name or in a short subtitle
  • Keep it to two to four words that look good on a square cover
  • Avoid puns that only make sense when written down
  • Search podcast apps, domains and social handles before you announce it

Name, subtitle and description
