Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check if a podcast name is taken?

Search on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. Also check domain availability and social media handles. A name that's taken on one platform but not others can cause confusion.

Should I include "Podcast" in the name?

Optional. Including it helps with search discoverability but takes up characters. Many top podcasts skip it (Serial, Radiolab, Freakonomics). Include it if your name alone doesn't clearly indicate it's a podcast.

Can I change my podcast name later?

Yes, but it's not ideal. Changing names can confuse subscribers and hurt your search rankings. Pick a name you can grow with. If you must rebrand, announce it over several episodes first.

Pro Tip: Say your podcast name out loud 10 times. If it's hard to say, hard to spell, or sounds awkward, keep looking. Your name needs to work in conversation, like "Have you heard the podcast called...?"
