    Frequently asked questions

    How do I name my podcast?

    Start with your topic and audience, then try formats like "The [Topic] Show", "[Topic] Unfiltered" or a clever phrase. Enter your topic here to see dozens of variations, then shortlist three and test them on friends.

    Should my podcast name include keywords?

    Including your main topic helps people find you in Apple Podcasts and Spotify search. A creative name can work too, but add a clear description or subtitle so listeners know what to expect.

    How long should a podcast name be?

    Aim for one to four words. Short names fit cover art, are easy to say on air and are easier to remember.

    How do I check if a podcast name is taken?

    Search Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube, check social handles, and look for a matching domain name. Avoid names that are close to well-known shows.

    Can I change my podcast name later?

    Yes, but it can confuse existing listeners and affect search. It is worth spending time now to pick a name you will be happy with for years.
