About This Episode

Podcasters struggle with a deceptively simple question: should you put your guest’s name in the episode title? On one side, names can spark curiosity and search visibility—when the guest is a household name. On the other, unknown names waste precious title space and suppress clicks. This episode gives you a fast, practical decision framework so your titles stay short, searchable, and binge-worthy while your show notes carry the full context your audience—and search engines—need.
