Aargh - we all learn by our mistakes don't we? 

And now there's a whole culture around convincing ourselves that mistakes aren't mistakes. They're learning opportunities. 

Well, whatever, but some mistakes are more painful than others. 

In this episode, I talk about why the name I chose for my very first hosted podcast was a big fail. And I was so pleased with it at the time! 

The lesson I learnt has resonance for you. Don't be too clever. Don't be too witty. Don't be too abstract. 

It's better to say what's on the tin than to leave potential listeners in the dark about its contents. 

Other points addressed on this episode include 

should you use the word "podcast" in your title?can you change the name of your podcast once it has launched?podcast names I think really work

About me
Hello, I'm Serena Gay, a BBC-trained journalist and a former international satellite TV presenter.

I have many years of news and audio production experience which I now use to great effect as CEO of a podcast making company called "Made4U Podcasts".

I've  also helped run family businesses in the UK and Germany in the tourism and wine education fields.

So I understand the pressures on businesspeople to perform, promote and reach new and profitable streams of clients.

That's why these podcasts are short, pithy and full of information - not blather!
