Find podcast ideas fast

Instant podcast topics

Click once and receive a single, clear prompt you can use immediately. The focus is intentional — rather than overwhelming you with dozens of options, the ideator delivers one high-quality spark.

Category-based podcast ideas

Choose a broad category — like True Crime, Self-Help, or Technology — and get podcast idea prompts that fit the tone and audience of that space.

From topic to outline

Each idea includes a short title and one-liner you can paste into your notes or planning doc. Treat it as the seed for an outline, interview questions, or a segment structure.

Thoughtful by design

Prompts are tuned to avoid sensational framing, medical claims, or exploitative language — especially in sensitive categories like health and true crime — so your podcast topic ideas remain respectful and usable.

Search your next episode angle

Use the category selector like a mini search filter for podcast topic ideas. If you don’t like the result, click “Try another” to shuffle and explore a new angle.

Made for momentum

The best cure for creative block is action. A single idea is often enough to start outlining, booking a guest, or drafting a script. The Ideator gives you that nudge.

A simpler way to find podcast topic ideas

Every creator knows the feeling: you open your notes, stare at a blank page, and wait for the spark that kickstarts your next episode or new show concept. You scroll through headlines, skim old ideas, and bounce between tabs. Minutes stretch into an hour. You have taste. You have standards. You just need a nudge in the right direction.

1. The Power of Constraints

Instead of dropping a list of random prompts, the Ideator focuses on a single idea at a time. Why? Because constraints are clarifying. When you are stuck, twenty choices do not help—one clear direction does. The Ideator asks for a broad category like True Crime, Self-Help, or Technology and returns one sharp, editorial-quality idea you can act on immediately.

2. Tuned for Quality

The Podcast Topic Ideator is intentionally tuned to avoid the pitfalls of generic AI brainstorming. In categories like health and true crime, sensationalism and over-claiming can creep in. Our prompts emphasize respectful framing, evidence-informed language, and practical angles over shock value.

3. Ways to use this tool

  • Weekly planning: Choose your category and click once to set a direction for your next episode.
  • New show exploration: Switch the mode to “Show concept” when you are testing new ideas.
  • Editorial variety: If your show risks repeating itself, try different categories to expand your lens.
  • Interview prep: Generate topics to anchor guest conversations.

4. From Idea to Action

The goal is momentum. You can turn the generated idea into an outline within minutes. If you like the angle, copy the title and the one-liner straight into your project doc. If it’s not quite right, hit “Try another.” Each click is a fresh pitch with a different lens.
