365 - Podcast Branding Dilemmas: Titles and Logos Under the Microscope
Should you put the word podcast in your podcast title…or does it just make you sound outdated? In this milestone episode of Podcasting Morning Chat (number 365, meaning you could binge us every day for a full year!), The crew digs into two classic branding dilemmas. First up: the long-running debate over whether adding “podcast” to your show’s name is helpful for clarity or just plain cringey. Then we turn our attention to cover art. Does featuring a microphone make your brand instantly recognizable, or is it a tired cliché that wastes valuable design space? To wrap up the week, we share personal wins and celebrate the victories that keep us going.
