Your Podcast’s Name Is Taken—Now What?
Ever had a great podcast idea, only to find out someone beat you to the name? This morning, we jumped into a real-world dilemma when DR discovered her client's perfect podcast title was already taken. We outlined practical steps to handle naming conflicts, including checking trademarks, and we brainstormed some creative alternatives. We also shared personal stories about pivoting when plans change. While none of us at PMC are lawyers, and this isn’t legal advice, this conversation is rich with insights to help you navigate these tricky naming challenges. To wrap up the week, we shared our wins and challenges and geared up for another week ahead with more tips, tricks, strategies, and insights.
