Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about one of the biggest decisions made by new podcasters - naming your show. There are 3 main camps when it comes to naming your show - you might simply use your own name, or, you might opt for something clever or descriptive. We’re going to look at each option, in more depth, over the next few episodes. Start by creating a shortlist of potential podcast names. Then, do a search in a directory or app like Apple Podcasts to see if any of them are taken. If your perfect show name is being used by a podcast that stopped publishing episodes 10 years ago, then this can be frustrating. There are plenty of shows out there with the same name as one another - however, it’s better not to cause confusion to your audience by joining their ranks. So try to come up with something new and unique, here. That’s ultimately going to give your podcast the best chance of being discovered and growing to its maximum potential.
