How to name your podcast

- 2Include a keyword if possibleA name with your topic, like Garden Gate Radio, helps podcast apps rank you for searches.
- 3Search Apple Podcasts and SpotifyCheck that your title doesn’t match an existing show. Duplicate names make it harder for listeners to find you.
- 4Keep it shortTitles get truncated in apps and car screens. Under 30 characters is safest.
- 5Leave room for the show to evolveAvoid names tied to a single host, guest or time period so your show can change over time.

Naming a podcast: FAQ
How do I check if a podcast name is taken?
Search Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and Google for the exact title. Also check Podchaser and the Podcast Index, plus domain and social handle availability.
Can two podcasts have the same name?
Technically yes, since podcast directories don’t enforce unique titles. But duplicates confuse listeners and hurt discoverability, so choose a unique name.
Should my podcast name include keywords?
A keyword helps search, but readability matters too. Use the keyword in your subtitle or description if the name is creative.
Do I need to trademark my podcast name?
Not required, but if you plan merchandise or sponsorships, a USPTO search and possibly a trademark filing adds protection.
