Years ago, when Kev and Ian started the podcast, they tried to come up with a name for it. That was, I think, what the whole first episode was about, though they only succeeded in naming the episode “Your Mum Loves a Sexy Pony”, and since then the podcast itself has always just gone by the decidedly provisional name “Episodes”.
I decided, therefore, to take it upon myself to fix this, and have consulted the internet for advice.
The website Business Name Generator has a helpful tool where you can type in some words to do with your podcast and it suggests great podcast names you could use. Here are some of the ideas it came up with.
- Beans Millennium
- Beans Battleborn (what?)
- Beansgenix
- Beans Pros Only
- Beansque
That website is self-evidently awful, so I looked elsewhere. Another website, called CopyWritingCourse, has a different generator that asks what your podcast is about and then what your name is. I told it our name is Beans and the podcast is about Pouring. Here are some much better ideas.
- Horsing Around with Beans
- The Beans Taco
- True Pouring Stories
- Real Time With Beans
- A Breath of Fresh Pouring
- Generation Beans
- The Pouring Dream
- The Beans Perspective
That website is better, but still leaves something to be desired. Finally, in desperation, I turned to WorthStart, who have just posted a list of several hundred podcast name ideas. I scrolled past “Girl Podcast Names” and “Football Podcast Names” to see what they suggested for funny podcasts. Here’s the pick of their suggestions.
- True Story Bro
- Young Billionaire
- Berry Blue Beauty
- D’Artagnan
- Defiant Princess
- Deluxe Dream
All of this is a long way around to tell you that, having investigated all the available options, “Episodes” appears to be the least terrible name for our podcast. So, unless you particularly like the name “Deluxe Dream”, that’s settled. Thank you.

One of the suggestions was almost “A Breath of Fresh Beans” which would have been excellent, but it wasn’t. So I guess we’ll have to stick with what we have.
I love the jarring awkwardness of “A Breath of Fresh Pouring”. It’s shit and it knows it is but it’s still there.
You can’t go wrong with “Defiant Princess”.
I have a bit of a soft spot for “Real Time With Beans”. I don’t know what that means or what sort of podcast that would be, but I like how stupidly dynamic and self-important it sounds.
To me it sounds more like a ‘Loose Women’ style talk show where we sit down and talk about our feelings, mainly why my toxic masculinity is spiralling out of control and why my Page 3 career never really took off.
I think your failed Page 3 career has a lot to do with your out-of-control toxic masculinity. Nobody wants to open the boobs page of the Sun and be presented with a wall of hairy testosterone.
Is it wrong that I wanted everything, that I wanted world-beating breasts along with animal knuckles and a geezer reputation?
It… it is a bit wrong, yes.
Well la de da radda radda ha ha all the way up to the lighthouse and back. I’m sorry for adopting the attitude of 2020 and making it all go way wronger than it needed to.
Can you explain what a geezer reputation is?
Yeah of course. You know, well you don’t otherwise you wouldn’t be asking.
A geezer reputation is when you have a reputation for being a geezer. When you’re one of the laaaaaaaaads and you get the pints in and you boss him some sheets (like Vinnie Jones) and nut some soft lad in his bonce because he’s wearing a cardigan.
I see. So, being Vinnie Jones, I have a geezer reputation? That’s jolly good to know.
You’ve had one for years, mate.
You remember when you were sticking my head in the toilet and calling me a girl with the rest of the hard lads? That’s when you got it.
