    2025/04/14

    Send us a text

    If your episode titles aren’t getting clicks, it’s not your fault—but it is your opportunity to fix.

    Too vague? Too clever? Too boring? In this episode, we’re breaking down the habits that might be hiding your brilliance from the people who need it most.

    🖤 In this episode you’ll learn:

    • What makes a title actually clickable—and what to avoid at all costs
    • How to choose the right headline type for your content
    • Whether it’s okay to reuse headline formulas (spoiler: yes!)
    • How to use guest names, curiosity, and specificity like a pro
    • Tips on title testing, length, clarity, and emotional triggers
    • Why your title matters even more than your content if you want downloads
    • The tools, templates, and processes I use to write great podcast titles faster

    We answer these questions:

    1. What are some common bad podcast title habits to break ASAP?
    2. What’s your personal process for writing titles—do you start with the title first, or after scripting the episode?
    3. How do I know which headline type is best for my episode?
    4. Should I ever repeat headline structures that performed well before, or do listeners get bored?
    5. What are examples of great titles from other podcasters that I can learn from?
    6. How long should my podcast titles be?
    7. Do the 4 U’s apply to guest interview episodes too, or just solo episodes?
    8. How do you adapt headline styles for different podcast formats—interview vs. solo vs. narrative?
    9. How can I tell if my title is too clever or not clear enough?
    10. How do I avoid sounding too “salesy” in my titles?
    11. What tools or templates can help me generate strong podcast titles quickly?
    12. How can I use my podcast episode description to support or enhance a strong title?’
    13. What role do emotions play in headline success—and how can I trigger curiosity without clickbait?
    14. What’s your take on “branding” segments or series within a podcast using headline styles?
    15. If I change my episode title after publishing, does it affect anything like stats or SEO?

    This is your no-fluff, tactical guide to making your titles work harder for you—and finally getting your brilliance heard.
