Why do people fail to recognize the significance of podcast titles?
The world of podcasting is characterized by its distinctive, unusual, inventive, and delightfully collaborative nature. The names of podcasts are not unique. The dark matter universe has a range of podcast titles, such as using the same name as five existing podcasts, titles that only your family can pronounce, offensive names, stupid portmanteaus, and titles without any indication of what your podcast is all about
Don’t believe me? Just read this:: Cents of Humor, Underwater Racism, The Fourth Trimester, Babies and Syringes, and Omnishambles are all examples of inappropriate behavior , and for those fascist /racist /eugenics freaks, I give you Aryan Resurrection
The importance of podcast name relevance is why we discuss them. I use a book cover metaphor to describe myself. The cover of a book is not the only factor to consider, as it affects millions of people annually. A study on bookselling suggests that books with a visually appealing book cover are more likely to be sold than those with an uninteresting cover. It’s not the right way to view things. The words within a book are the most important factor, right? Regrettably, the cover is what counts, as it influences the sale. The importance of the words inside a book is due to their ability to influence the reader’s purchase
A podcast’s name is crucial to provide your listeners with a clear understanding of what they can anticipate from the show. The use of keywords can significantly increase your chances of finding a specific product or service
In a recent installment of the show One Minute Podcast Tips , host extraordinaire Danny Brown discussed podcast names. In Episode 111., Danny emphasizes the need for podcasters to repeat the name of their podcast, especially at the beginning and the end of each episode
A man who is more knowledgeable about podcasting than the Kardashians and craves attention, has given solid guidance
In this article, we’ll examine some podcast names and discuss how ambitious podcasters should choose a compelling title for their shows
Firstly, let’s examine some excellent podcast contenders. While a podcast title can be impressive due to its creativity and uniqueness, it must convey the core message of the podcast to listeners who are unaware of it
To give an example, here are some solid names:: Behind The Song (about famous popular songs); The Connectors (connecting people and ideas); “The Economics of Everyday Things” The functioning of common goods and services Left Right & Center (Politics from different viewpoints); The Nutrition Diva (Duh? About nutrition); Speaking of Psychology (Hello! Psychology); Why Wars Happened The root of conflicts, and Surfing Corporate Surviving corporate life?
The Every Sci-Fi Film Ever? The level of detail in a podcast’s content could not be higher. You are aware of the exact outcome!
In my opinion, this podcast name is one of the greatest of all time A salad With Fries added to it Jenn Trepeck, the creator and host of her show, introduces her guests with this phrase: “Welcome to my studio.” A salad With Fries added to it Talking about health and weight loss in real life. My goal is to dispel any myths, misinformation, bad science, and marketing so that you can educate yourself on eating habits and cheating. ”
There are thousands of health and wellness podcasts, many of which self-promote a program that includes restricted dieting and drastic lifestyle changes that usually involve unbridled exercise
With her mission firmly established, Jenn Trepeck wants to communicate to potential listeners that her show is about wellness but without the weirdness. No hating on all carbs. No 500 burpees before dawn. No drinking apple cider vinegar five times a day
Even her live events promote this podcast’s mission. She serves healthy salads, veggies, and a container of French fries. Jenn Trepeck’s message coordinates with what she says, how she says it, her podcast title, and her logo. In essence, she’s created not only a podcast title but a brand
There are many useful tools for naming your podcast. First, you can search Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and podcast apps for podcast names. Second, there are a host of podcast name generators and websites, such as Captivate. Fm and Riverside. Fm , and searching PODCAS TN AM EG ENERATOR returns a host of legitimate results
A podcast like The Art Of Kindness Is an interesting study. It’s a podcast that’s part of the Broadway Podcast Network hosted by Robert Peterpaul where he interviews Broadway people. Yet, Peterpaul focuses on the kindness aspect, asking his celebrity guests about their acts of kindness and how we can make the world a more gracious place in which to live
First, Robert is indeed a kind soul, so he’s not faking for the Mic. Second, that focus separates his celebrity podcast from all others. Third, the podcast title is like a Broadway marquee announcing the theme of his show
Let’s ask a question that has bothered me — and I believe you, too — for years. Why do people duplicate podcast names? We all know that having so many podcasts — active and dormant — makes duplication more prevalent than in films, where only about 125 movies are released each year. Further, many films today are sequels like Rocky 12: The Trump Years Or Captain America: That’s right. It’s My Gulf Now!
If A podcast has podfaded for years and your show will be on a different topic, you might go ahead and use it. However, if someone is actively publishing a podcast, I would advise against using the same name out of courtesy, and creating confusion that will diminish your podcast’s discoverability
Let’s take a look at a new, ear-worthy podcast has been ensnared in the name trap The Hole Truth Is a three-part anthology series exploring how the U. S. Fell down the rabbit hole. Creator /host Marnie Duke tells us: “My new podcast The Hole Truth investigates how conspiracy theories captured the American imagination. ”
The podcast explores the origins of conspiracy theories, the reasons behind their widespread acceptance, and the implications of these beliefs for American society and culture
Here lies the savage truth. Another podcast that is currently active is also happening The Hole Truth About finances. Several podcasts are available The Whole Truth It took me four months to catch up and get interested again
What’s the issue here? I’ll enumerate the various methods. First, lack of discoverability. Second, listener confusion. Third, branding limitations. Fourth, podcast growth. It’s unnecessary and redundant
How About the Downstream Podcast with Jason Snell. The TV streaming world is well-supported by this show. A podcast called Downstream is available, exploring all spiritual paths. Downstream, a YouTube podcast with conversations and insights from activists, authors, economists, politicians, scientists, YouTubers ‘, and philosophers in the United Kingdom is also available. Who was the first to emerge? I’m uncertain, but this replication is evidently not restricted to a few podcasts
The use of “Fuck” in podcast titles has become a trend to differentiate from other words and disrupt the flow of podcasts. When it’s a common theme in the show, this tactic is effective in terms of decorum. For example, I like WTF with Marc Maron The WTF provides listeners with a sense of Maron’s persona, filled with dirty sarcasm, sharp observations, and an unapologetic “I don’t give F**K to anyone.”. ”
Another good example is the Yeah, IF *cked That Up Podcast. It’s an unique and well-done show about celebrities screwing up royally. In this case, the title nails the oeuvre of the show
After all this whining and bellyaching by me, do I have any positive advice?
First, spend precious time deciding on your podcast name. It shouldn’t be an afterthought, or a random suggestion from the co-host’s brother-in-law, who once worked the light board at a Guess Who cover band concert. How does the name inform potential listeners what the podcast is about?
Second, check podcast directories and podcast apps for similar or indentical podcast names. You can Google your potential podcast name and type podcast after it. If it’s a duplicate, Google will return a result. Cast a wide net for your search, include other nations
Third, don’t mistake podcast names that are cute, catchy, creative, and quirky for a podcast title that is self-explanatory. Hey, the Speaking Of Psychology Podcast isn’t sexy, but you understand the nature of the podcast. The Podcasting Tech Podcast explains itself in two words
A solid podcast like Shop Talk , which is about web design and development, sounds like an auto mechanics podcast The Next Wave Podcast is about AI, but couldn’t it be about surfing? The EP luribus Motto Podcast is a cute twist on E pluribus unum, but what it is about? State mottos, state birds, state flowers — but you don’t know that from the cutesy name
Fourth, shock value in a podcast name is acceptable as long as it doesn’t obscure the concept of the show. That’s an advantage that true-crime podcasts have because this genre typically has the similar words and concepts in the title. Words like Missing, Murder, Finding, Killer, Crimes, Body, and Dark tend to populate true-crime podcast titles. If you’re a horror podcast or just trying to get attention, keep it simple
Lore By Aaron Mahnke is one of the best horror podcasts with a name suggestive of the podcast’s motif Lore Of course, is a shortened version of folklore. It’s so simple, yet it’s genius
Fifth, subtitles can be useful tools with a few cautionary words. Don’t use a subtitle only because the podcast title is so obscure. Keep the subtitle reasonably short so it doesn’t end in minute print on the show’s logo. Look how the subtitle to Feed The Queue Works so spendidly
Sixth, if you’re not a celebrity, please don’t name your podcast after yourself. I don’t know who Larry Craswell is? Or Dean Marchan? Or Lindsey Carruthers? But they have shows eponymously named
Seventh, I’ll return to Danny Brown’s words of wisdom. Say the name of your podcast often on your episodes, and whenever you are representing your podcast
This is Ear Worth Y Signing Off. That’s right Ear Worthy Didn’t you hear me? I said Ear Worthy. For goodness sake, I said Ear Worthy
I’m only going to say this one more time
