06: The Name Game: How to Name Your Podcast (Without Overthinking It)

Picking the right name is often one of the toughest parts of getting started for new podcasters. If you've been stuck trying to find the "perfect" podcast name, this episode will help you stop overthinking and just get started.

In this episode, I'm sharing 5 quick strategies to help you land on a name that works for your show. I walk through real examples from podcast clients we work with to show you how different naming approaches can work.

I also reveal the exact thought process I used when naming this podcast, including the cringey alternate names I considered before landing on Podcast Permission Slip | Powered by Podassist.

Plus, I'm answering the common question: "Can I use my own name for my podcast?" (Spoiler: Yes, and here's why it might actually be the smartest move.)

This episode is your permission slip to stop overthinking the name game. Grab a piece of paper, brainstorm using these 5 strategies, say them out loud, and pick one. You can always change it later.

It's a name, not a life sentence…

Remember - it's YOUR show and there are NO RULES!
