A Question From Mark About His Proposed Podcast Show Name and Some Thoughts For You When Naming Your Show - The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips

Mark left a question for the show - his new podcast idea is a travel and local focused show the N B Traveler - thanks Mark for leaving your question - we will talk about Mark's podcast show name and talk through some considerations for you when determining the name for your show!

When choosing a title, think of a dynamic name that can expand to fit your wildest dreams. The possibilities of audio creation are always expanding, and you never know how your personal brand might grow. Relying on the word “podcast” from the get-go might leave you feeling boxed in down the road.

In short, here are some guidelines from fellow podcasters around picking a great podcast name:

1. Aim for 4 words or less.
2. Choose a name that aligns with your content.
3. Keep it succinct and intriguing.
4. Try to avoid the words “The” and “Podcast.”
5. Avoid special characters, misspellings, abbreviations, and punctuation.
6. Your name should be easy to spell and pronounce.
7. Make sure it’s not already taken.
8. Gather some outside opinions.
9. Think about how your show might evolve over time.
10. Choose a name you like saying out loud.

Picking a podcast name might feel difficult, but don’t let it prevent you from sharing your voice. Sometimes a show needs to exist in the world before it can be given a title. If you find yourself feeling stuck, the best thing to do is start creating. Record some mock episodes or soft-launch with a placeholder name. There’s always room for adjustment later on.

At the end of the day, listeners are tuning in for you and your content—not your podcast title. If you make great episodes that keep people engaged, your podcast name will fall into place. ___ ⁠⁠https://howtopodcast.ca/⁠⁠⁠ Leave Dave a message - ⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/HelloDave⁠⁠⁠ Get a podcast review of your show! - ⁠⁠⁠https://podcastfeedback.ca/⁠⁠⁠
