About Podcast Names

What makes a good podcast name?
An effective podcast name typically has these qualities:
  • Memorability - easy to remember and distinct from other podcasts
  • Clarity - gives listeners an idea of what the show is about
  • Searchability - contains relevant keywords people might search for
  • Brevity - concise enough to fit in podcast directory listings
  • Pronounceability - easy to say and recommend to others verbally
  • Flexibility - allows room for your show to evolve over time
  • Uniqueness - stands out in a crowded podcast market
The best podcast names strike a balance between being descriptive enough to convey the subject matter while remaining catchy and creative.
How do different podcast genres approach naming?
Different podcast genres tend to follow distinct naming patterns:
  • Comedy: Often uses wordplay, puns, or quirky phrases ("Comedy Bang! Bang!", "My Dad Wrote A Porno")
  • Business: Typically includes professional terms and clear value propositions ("How I Built This", "The $100 MBA Show")
  • True Crime: Usually evokes mystery, investigation, or darkness ("Serial", "My Favorite Murder", "Criminal")
  • Education/Information: Generally straightforward, often using "The [Topic] Podcast" format ("Stuff You Should Know", "Science Vs")
  • Interview Shows: Frequently named after the host or using "with" format ("The Tim Ferriss Show", "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard")
  • News/Politics: Typically uses authoritative language or clear topic indicators ("The Daily", "Pod Save America")
Our generator reflects these genre-specific conventions to create authentic-sounding podcast names.
How can I check if my podcast name is available?
Before finalizing your podcast name, take these steps to ensure availability:
  • Search major podcast directories (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts) for identical or similar names
  • Check social media platforms for handles matching your desired name
  • Do a domain name search to see if a matching website URL is available
  • Perform a trademark search to avoid legal issues
  • Consider slight variations if your first choice is taken
  • Test the name with potential listeners to gauge reactions
Even if the exact name is taken, you might be able to use a variation with a subtitle or different formatting. The key is to avoid confusion with existing shows, especially within your same topic area.
