Naming your Podcast – what are you going to call it??
When naming your podcast, it's important to consider the following:
- Relevance: Choose a name that is relevant to your podcast's content and theme. This will help your audience understand what they can expect from your show.
- Memorable: Choose a name that is easy to remember and spell. This will make it easier for your audience to find your podcast and recommend it to others.
- Short and sweet: A shorter name is generally easier to remember and will be more memorable to your audience.
- Unique: Try to come up with a name that is unique and distinguishes your podcast from others in your field.
- Avoid puns or wordplay: While puns and wordplay can be funny, they can also be confusing and hard to remember. It's generally best to avoid them in your podcast name.
- Check for trademark issues: Before finalizing your podcast name, be sure to do a trademark search to make sure it isn't already in use. You don't want to choose a name that could get you into legal trouble down the line.
Overall, it's important to choose a name that is relevant, memorable, and unique. It should accurately reflect the content and theme of your podcast and be easy for your audience to remember.
