Don’t Be Clever With Your Podcast Title

Most creators want everything about the quality of their podcast to be perfect. The sound, the content, the video design, and everything else except the title. 


You could have the best podcast in the world, but no one will even click on it if your title isn't clear, direct, and intriguing. So don't waste vital screen space on titles like 


EP123: John Talks Growth


Who's John, and what growth is he talking about? Why should we care? Instead, it needs to be clear, interesting, and specific to the episode's core ideas. 
🔹 Clarity Over Cleverness

Don’t try to be cryptic. Be specific. Tell people exactly what they’ll get from the episode.
🔹 Optimize Your Title With Keywords

Podcast apps are search engines. If your episode is about launching a coaching business, say that—don’t hide it behind a vague title like “Big Changes.”
🔹 Build The Hook First 

Put the most interesting part first. A big guest name? A powerful takeaway? Lead with it. People skim fast, so grab attention early.


🎯 Bonus Insight: Episode numbers don’t help with discovery. Leave them out of the title. Instead, think like a headline writer. If your title isn’t clickable, it’s invisible.
