Your podcast name is the first thing potential listeners see. It needs to grab attention and give a hint about what your show is about.
1. The Descriptive Name
Tell people exactly what they are getting.
- Example: "The Daily," "Marketing School."
2. The Creative/Abstract Name
Use a metaphor or a unique word.
- Example: "99% Invisible," "Freakonomics."
3. The "Name & Name"
Classic radio format.
- Example: "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard."
4. The Pun
Use wordplay to be memorable (but be careful not to be too cheesy).
- Example: "Pod Save America."
5. The Question
Spark curiosity.
- Example: "How I Built This."
