What makes a good podcast title?
Keep it under 30 characters
Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Overcast all truncate long titles in their browse views. Short, punchy names get clicked more.
Say what the show is about
Clever names that hide the topic hurt discovery. Listeners search by subject — bake a keyword into the name where you can.
Make it easy to say out loud
Word-of-mouth is the #1 way podcasts grow. If guests stumble pronouncing it, you lose every recommendation.
Check it's not already taken
Search the title in Apple Podcasts and Spotify before committing. Duplicate names confuse listeners and hurt your search ranking.
How the generator works
You describe your podcast in a sentence — the topic, the angle, or the audience. Our AI model analyses the description and returns five distinct title candidates: a literal one for search, a metaphorical one for memorability, and a few alternatives that mix both registers.
Behind the scenes, the prompt biases the model toward titles that are short (under 35 characters), pronounceable, and free of clichés like “The X Show” or “X Talk.” You can run it as many times as you like — each batch is fresh, so if the first round doesn't click, just regenerate or tweak the description.
Once you have a shortlist, search each candidate on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, check domain availability, and read the name out loud to a friend. The right title usually announces itself.
Frequently asked questions
How do I come up with a good podcast name?▾
Start with your topic and audience, then brainstorm words around the emotion or value you deliver. Mix a concrete noun (the subject) with an evocative one (the angle) — e.g. 'Founder' + 'Frequency'. Our AI generator does this in one click and gives you 5 options to riff on.
Should my podcast title include a keyword?▾
Yes, when it can be done naturally. Apple Podcasts and Spotify both use the title as a strong ranking signal. A title like 'The Sustainable Cooking Show' will out-rank a clever-but-vague one for search-driven listeners.
How long should a podcast title be?▾
Aim for 20–40 characters. Apple Podcasts truncates at roughly 30 characters in most directory views, and Spotify cuts off similarly on mobile. Shorter titles also share better on social.
Can I change my podcast name later?▾
Yes, but it costs you. Renaming after launch resets some directory algorithms, breaks existing links, and forces loyal listeners to re-find you. Pick a name you can live with for at least 50 episodes.
Is this generator really free?▾
Yes. No signup, no credit card, unlimited generations. We built it as a free utility to introduce people to Podcastify — our AI tool that turns any article, PDF, or topic into a two-host podcast.
