If you are skeptical about making a decision about the topic of the podcast then you are at the right place. I will guide you through selecting the podcast topic and will cover the 10 best podcast topics for you so that you can save up your time in brainstorming. Without wasting any more time let’s dive in to explore the amazing content of Podcasting.

10 Best Topics to do a Podcast About

First of all, think about what audience would you like to target through podcasting? Yes, you heard me right. The audience plays a vital role. Get a copy pencil and start writing about the audience and the message you would like to convey. Targeting the audience should be the first point to care about. After you have selected the audience think about the idea you would like to convey to them, what message do you want to convey, and what kind of discussion you would like them to hear?

Secondly, your idea should be different. Not only different but let’s say it should be one in a million. People get attracted to the newness. That is the strategy used by news channels, they bring everything new on a daily basis and people switch on the television to hear that exclusive news every night at a particular time. Bring that uniqueness to your content as well and this uniqueness can only be brought if you are sincere with what you are going to throw in a market. Your enthusiasm should be felt by others as well.

The two points, audience, and content, mentioned above can help you make money. How? Well, if you are giving your best podcast, you can attract a large circle of audience. While the audience increases, the demand for your podcast increases, and hence the advertisers approach you to play their ad during your podcast. You can monetize your well-demanded podcast through this.

There are various podcasts out in the market and every podcaster has touched on almost every topic. Don’t hesitate to talk about the same thing. Don’t pressurize your brain to bring something different as this is not the point. The point is, that your content should have something different that other podcasters lack. Bring up something that you are pro at, even if it’s mainstream. If you are really good at it you will be able to glorify the mainstream topic and make it unique with your skills.

1. Myth-busting

Google has every possible answer but you can definitely make your podcast unique by bringing up something new that people won’t know, something that would increase their knowledge through your show.

2. Paranormal Activities

Talk about ghosts and paranormal activities you have faced or heard from someone else’s experience. People get really attracted to such stories.

3. TV shows, books, and films

Talk about a famous book, or about its specific part that has touched millions of hearts, talk about a film that has been a blockbuster or flop. You can also bring up a book or film that you read or watched, that has a great story but did not get enough hype.

4. Comedy Sessions

I believe that people like to enjoy instead of listening to something sad or dramatic. Throw jokes in your podcast or share funny incidents with the audience that would cheer up their mood for a day.

5. History

Tell about the history of any country, castle, personality, etc. Also mention why are they important. You can also tell about the wonders of the world in detail.

6. Nutrition

People like to hear about what they are eating, is it healthy or not, and what would be the impact of certain ready-made foods on their bodies? What should be the diet of an adult or an old person, how to maintain weight, etc Cover all these important topics in your session.

Talk about mental illness, what are the strategies you can use to elevate your self-esteem, how to gain self-confidence, how to motivate yourself every day, how to think positively, etc. You can target a huge audience through this.

8. Lifehacks

Give advice to the listeners about the life hacks and help them. For example, how they can store their shoes without a shoe rack, how can they polish the furniture, etc. People love to hear hacks that they can apply to daily chores.

9. Questions and Answers Session

This is one of the best ways to engage the audience. Ask them to send you questions about various things and you can answer them appropriately. Ask them to send you any problem they facing and you will help them without mentioning their name. They can send questions through SMS or a call or can even an email, whatever is convenient

10. Face your fear

Ask people about their fears and tell yours. Mention how can they cope with various fears. For example, fears of height, fear of elevators, stage fear, Fear of rejection, etc.
