Choosing a clever, quirky, or mysterious podcast name

A clever or quirky podcast name — built around a pun, in-joke, or sideways angle — can stand out. The risk: nobody knows what your show is about.

Think The Moth, or 99% Invisible. These names are often built around puns, plays on words, or in-jokes from the show's topic. Some make sense once you look deeply enough. Others are pure abstract and offer no hint of the content.
