We talk about the three principles of naming a podcast
We explore the things that mess every podcaster up when they get to name their show.
We talk about how limiting Apple Podcasts search is right now and how that won’t last forever.
What did we learn?
Be original, allow for growth, and don’t be too abstract.
Pick a name - You can always change it later.
Do the work of trying to find a good name because it is the first thing your potential audience sees.
Google wasn’t Google until it WAS Google - which means don’t stress too much over this process.
You may get known for your podcast so make sure your name is something you can live with for a while.
Do the Bar Test and the Friends and Family Test for every name you experiment with.
You can always change your podcasts name later, or better yet, start a new one.

Quotes
“Who knows a man’s name, holds that man’s life in his keeping. Thus to Ged, who had lost faith in himself, Vetch had given him that gift that only a friend can give, the proof of unshaken, unshakeable trust.”
