A Better Way to Name Podcasts

Hey Podcasters!

Have you ever had an amazing idea for a show… only to get completely stuck on the name? 

You brainstorm a dozen options, check Apple Podcasts, and they’re all taken. Or worse, you find one you like, but it doesn’t really capture what your podcast is about.

Naming is one of the biggest roadblocks for new podcasters. Too clever, and no one can find it. Too generic, and it blends in. No wonder so many shows stall before they ever launch.

That’s why in this ​video​, we’re sharing what makes a strong podcast name:

  • Clear over clever helps listeners instantly know what your show is about.
  • Keep it short so your title is easier to say, share, and search.
  • Long-term thinking can help you choose a name that grows with your show.
  • Check availability to make sure you don't fall in love with a name that's already taken. 

And here’s more good news: you don’t have to figure it out alone. 

We just launched a free Podcast Name Generator that makes the process easier (and faster).

Here’s how it works:

  1. Enter your show description (plus tone and format, if you want).
  2. Get a dozen tailored name ideas matched to your concept.
  3. Each suggestion is instantly checked against The Podcast Index, so you’ll know if it’s unique.

Try the Podcast Name Generator


Naming your podcast doesn’t have to stall your progress. With the Podcast Name Generator, you can find a name that fits your show and sets you up for growth.
