50 Podcast Episode Title Templates
On this page

A podcast title has to work twice: once in a feed, where it competes with a hundred other episodes, and once in search, where it has to match what a listener types. These fifty templates cover the episode types podcasts actually make — interviews, stories, how-tos, debates, and solo episodes — each with a structure that carries both curiosity and a keyword. Swap in your guest, topic, or question and the title is ready.

What’s inside this resource

The templates are grouped by episode type because a title that works for an interview (“How [guest] built [thing]”) fails for a debate (“Should we [controversial thing]?”). Keep titles under sixty characters where possible — long titles truncate in most players — and put the most interesting word first, not last.

The resource (sample)

  1. How [guest] built [thing] from nothing
  2. The story of [event] nobody told you
  3. How to [skill] in [timeframe]
  4. Should we [controversial idea]? A debate
  5. My honest take on [topic]
  6. Inside [place]: a conversation with [guest]
  7. The [number] mistakes every [audience] makes
  8. What I learned from [experience]
  9. Is [trend] actually worth it?
  10. A beginner’s guide to [topic]

How to use this resource

  1. Put the hook first: the first five words decide whether a scroller stops.
  2. Include one searchable keyword — the topic itself — in every title.
  3. Keep titles under sixty characters so they do not truncate in players.
  4. Number series episodes clearly so listeners can follow in order.
  5. Test titles with your audience: ask which of two they would tap.

A resource is only useful when it gets used — pick one item today, use it as written, and adapt it from experience rather than from theory.

Frequently asked questions

Should episode titles include the episode number?

For series, yes — listeners follow sequences. For standalone episodes, the number adds nothing and wastes front-loaded space.

How specific should a title be?

Very. “Marketing tips” loses to “How a bakery doubled bookings with one email” because specificity promises a concrete payoff.

Do titles affect podcast search?

Yes. Players and search engines match title words to queries, so the topic keyword in the title matters more than cleverness.
