How To Come Up With A Podcast Name
Consider your audience.
As you come up with a name for your podcast, think about the audience you’re hoping to appeal to. A catchy podcast name will get the attention of the right people. For example, if you’re planning to host a pop culture podcast, you might want to include terms related to celebrities, social media, or entertainment in your podcast name. This will make it easier to attract new listeners who are browsing podcasts for their next listen.
Keep it short & easy to pronounce.
Everyone loves a good pun or a funny play on words, but when you start to get a little too creative, it can be too much for people to remember or even understand. You also want people to be able to find your podcast easily. Your best bet is to come up with a podcast name that is short, simple, and easy to pronounce. Plus, you’re going to be saying it a lot, and hopefully others are too. You wouldn’t want to choke on a mouthful of words day after day, would you?
Make it unique.
There are over 3 million podcasts in the world which makes it that much harder to come up with a unique podcast title. But the perfect name for your podcast is one that hasn’t been used half a dozen times already.
However, if you decide on a podcast name and then find out someone else is using the same name, it’s not the end of the world. You shouldn’t run into any major issues, but it might cause some confusion among listeners. Rather than starting all over, see if you can tweak the name a bit to make it unique. If you can’t, consider using your next favorite name idea. It’ll save you a headache in the long run.
Use relevant search terms.
It’s also important to use a podcast name that includes a word people in your niche often search for. We recommend using a keyword tool, like Google Keyword Planner, to search for keywords that fit your podcast niche. It’ll tell you how many people are searching for each keyword you look up, so you can get a better idea of how many people are interested in that topic! The more people that are interested, the better! Then, when you use that keyword in your podcast title, you’ll get traffic at no cost to you! Speaking of traffic, check out our post on podcast tips for beginners for more ways to get listeners!
Try a free podcast name generator.
TBH, we don’t love the idea of using a free podcast name generator to come up with a name for your podcast, but they can give you great ideas or inspiration to work with. Think of a name generator as a tool to help you get through writer’s block. You probably don’t want to copy and paste the results, rather you can read through the suggestions and see if it sparks any ideas.
