How to Stop Other Creators From Hijacking Your Show’s Name

About this episode

Most podcasters worry about someone copying their content —

but the real threat is someone copying (or accidentally matching) your show’s name.

When your title isn’t legally protected, other creators can release shows with names close enough to yours that listeners, sponsors, platforms, and search engines get confused. And once that confusion takes hold, your brand momentum evaporates.

In this episode, Gordon Firemark, The Podcast Lawyer™, explains:


• Why unprotected podcast names are vulnerable


• How look- and sound- alike titles damage your audience growth and SEO


• Real-world examples of podcasters forced to rebrand


• The three-part “Name Safety Test” every creator should run


• What to check before you invest in branding, marketing, or promotion


• The steps that protect your show’s distinctive identity

If your podcast name matters to you, this episode is your roadmap to keeping it under your control.
