Podcast name ideas
Generated podcast names with the domains that were open when we checked, and why a podcast name has to be searchable in an app, not only clever.
A podcast name is typed into a search box inside an app that indexes millions of shows, which is a different problem from naming a store. The name has to be distinctive enough to come up first when typed, short enough to read in a list of thumbnails, and far enough from existing shows that listeners do not subscribe to the wrong one. Search the name in the podcast apps before anything else; a show with the same name and a three-year head start owns that search result.
Podcast names also tend toward a pattern (The Something Show, Something Talks, Something Radio) that makes them forgettable in a feed. A coined word or an unexpected real word stands out in a list; a pattern name disappears into it. Entertainment and education services, including podcasts, are class 41 in the USPTO register.
The names below were generated by BetterNamer for the description above and checked for domain availability on the date shown. A .fm or .show extension reads naturally for a podcast; the .com is worth holding if the show becomes a brand with a newsletter or merchandise.

Questions about naming a podcast
How do I check a podcast name is not taken?
Search it in Apple Podcasts, Spotify and a podcast directory first; a show already using the name owns the search result whatever the trademark position. Then search the USPTO register in class 41 and the exact name in quotes on the web. Then check the domain and the handles.
Can a podcast name be trademarked?
Yes, as an entertainment service in class 41, and popular shows do register them. Screen first: the generic podcast words (Show, Talks, Cast, Radio) are in thousands of registrations and a name built only from them is usually refused.
Is a .fm domain good for a podcast?
It reads naturally and short .fm names are often available. It is a country code (Micronesia) and renews at a higher price than .com in most catalogues, so check the renewal. Hold the .com as well if the show will sell anything; sponsors and listeners type it.
