Choosing a podcast name comes with some challenges, but like most things in life, it can be made easier with assistance from others. We urge you to choose your podcast title and associated branding materials wisely. Aside from podcast titles we focus on podcast listener growth, podcast ad sales and a reminder that we're happy to migrate any podcaster from their current podcast host. Todd is back and MacKenzie is filling in for Mike; next week we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Best Practice

Choosing a podcast name: Pick a distinct and memorable podcast title. Does your podcast name make sense to everyone or just you? Along with this is a well thought out and designed cover art. It never hurts to get a few pairs of eyes to weigh in on these choices. Lastly, consider SEO advantages and disadvantages with desired title.

Question of the Week

Question: Is posting / promoting my podcast daily too much?

Answer: Perhaps. It’s all very circumstantial, however we believe that engagement on a daily basis can get you further in the long run. People are more likely to overlook scheduled posts (on all platforms) about episodes or subscribing, etc. if you post every day as opposed to interacting with your comments, retweets, stories, and more. They want to feel involved. In a parasocial world, give the people a bit of what they want and you’ll go far.
