How to name a podcast

  1. Step 01

    Describe who it is for and what they get

    Name the audience and the outcome. "A show about marketing" only returns generic titles.
  2. Step 02

    Generate a batch and shortlist

    You get 10 names with a reason each. Keep the ones that sound right out loud and read well on a thumbnail.
  3. Step 03

    Say it out loud, then check it

    Say each finalist in "Welcome back to [name]", then search it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and the .com.

Names you can say on air and search later

A good name does four jobs.

  • Sounds good when a host says it
  • Reads well on a thumbnail
  • Hints at the job without over-explaining
  • Isn't taken

Check Apple and Spotify before you commit

Each name links to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google. The podcast name checker adds Podchaser, the .com, and Instagram.
