Looking for a name for a podcast

Podcast names should feel spoken, not written. Think of how it sounds in someone else's mouth recommending it.
  1. Use two nouns rule
    Reply All. Hard Fork. The combination is the brand.
  2. Use a verb phrase rule
    How To Save a Planet. You're Wrong About. It hooks.
  3. Use a single specific word rule
    Serial. Dolly. The Daily.
  4. Use a question rule
    Are You Garbage? Where Should We Begin?
  5. Don't use 'the [topic] podcast' rule
    Lazy. Forgettable. Skip.
  6. Don't use puns about your topic rule
    Will be regretted within twelve episodes.
  7. Test the URL and Apple Podcasts search rule
    If three other shows have it, change it.
  8. Imagine it on someone else's lips rule
    If it sounds dumb in their mouth, it's dumb.
  9. Imagine the cover art rule
    Long names look terrible at thumbnail size.
  10. Don't include your own name unless you're famous rule
    Joe Rogan. Brené Brown. Otherwise, no.
