How to choose a great podcast name
- 1
Search Apple Podcasts and Spotify first — a clash buries you behind an established show.
- 2
Include one word people would actually search if you want discovery; keep the rest distinctive.
- 3
Read it aloud as an intro: 'Welcome to ___.' It should roll off the tongue.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a good podcast name?
- Balance a searchable topic word with a memorable hook. Keep it short enough to read on cover art at thumbnail size.
- Should my podcast name include the word 'podcast'?
- Usually no — directories already label it. Use the space for something distinctive instead.
- Can I change my podcast name after launch?
- Yes, most platforms allow it, but you'll lose some recognition and search history. Choose carefully up front.
