Why is a Good Podcast Name Important?
podcast name is your brand’s first impression. It’s how listeners find, remember, and recommend your show among thousands of others. A great name can boost discoverability, memorability, and your show’s overall appeal. Ideally, it should be:
- Relevant: Reflects your theme, niche, or vibe
- Memorable: Easy for listeners to recall and search for
- Unique: Distinct from other podcasts in your category
- Brandable: Works well for cover art, social media, and merchandise
Common podcast name approaches are:
- Using your own name (The Sarah Smith Show)
- Keywords tied to your theme (Startup Stories)
- Creative or intriguing made-up words (Podyssey)
- Combinations of names and topics (Tech with Tom)
- Clever puns or wordplay (Pun Intended)
