How to come up with a good podcast name
Think about your audience
Consider what your audience expects to see as the title of their new favorite show (your podcast). Will your show be lighthearted and entertaining or informative and thought-provoking? Clearly defining your podcast's brand, values and personality will help you reach the right audience and choose the right name.
Choose a podcast title
Choose a descriptive title that conveys what your show is about. Jot down 3-4 words that capture the core themes of your podcast. For example, if you want to generate a podcast name for a true crime show, try words like "mysteries" or "investigations". The more accurately you describe your podcast, the easier it will be for your audience to find you.
Pick a name for your podcast
Pick your podcast based on the brand you're trying to build. Once our name generator comes up with a few ideas, choose the one that resonates the most with your brand. Your podcast channel’s name should reflect your brand’s identity and values. For example, if your values are innovation and creativity, try a title that's bold and modern.
Make it memorable
You want your podcast to linger in your audience’s mind—not just their ears. Use a podcast title that’s easy to pronounce and remember. Catchy podcast names are short and sweet. Add a fun flair to make it memorable - think wordplay, alliteration, or a twist on your theme.
Keep SEO in mind
Give your podcast a name that’s easy for listeners to find and hard for search engines to miss. Include one or more keywords in your title. These are words or phrases your audience might use to search for relevant topics. Balance this with creativity to make sure you still sound natural.
Be Unique
Be unique. Do your research to ensure you pick a unique name for your podcast and stand out from the crowd! You can always use a podcast name checker to make sure no one else has the same name.

Why should you use a podcast name generator?
You could definitely come up with a name on your own, but a generator will save you time in coming up with names for podcasts when you’re clueless. It can generate ideas a lot faster and inspire you to get to that perfect match. Plus, podcast generators usually include SEO and keywords when creating names.
How do I know if a podcast name is taken?
You can start off using a podcast name checker. But to be more certain:
- Search for the name on major podcast directories like Spotify, Apple or YouTube.
- Conduct a general search online and see if anything comes up. Check Google and social media platforms.
- Run a trademark search to make sure the name is not already taken. Note that not all podcast names are trademarked.
Can two podcasts have the same name?
Unless you trademark your podcast name, others can legally use it. You need to file for a trademark with your local trademark office to secure ownership. Securing your domain name and relevant social media handles is also a good idea.
