New Media Expo Wrap Up: Best Podcast Name

Posted on the 25 August, 2008 at 11:10 pm Written by in Podcasting

I was listening to the recording of my session from the New Media Expo and I was reminded about one of the BEST podcast names I heard while at the Expo.

During my session, I asked 5 people to share their monetization strategy based on the 3 personas I introduced. They had to tell me whether they’re a Big Bird, Hulk Hogan or Oprah (buy the Expo recordings so you can hear my session).

John Blue was one of the people who came to the microphone. He produces a podcast called the Swinecast. Apparently, there’s also the Beefcast, Poultrycast and a few others.

The lesson here? Make the name of your podcast memorable. Nothing can beat Swinecast in my book.

    No suprise to find a Swinecast. Hogs have feelings too, even if John Blue is helping the farmers with this little piggy going to market );-

    Exactly. Keep in mind in directories such as iTunes, Podcast Pickle, and Podcast Alley, the name of your podcast is the “Headline” that gets people to click and look for more information (where the title of each podcast becomes the “headline” of each episode. Keep away from inside jokes, and things that are too cute for people to understand.
