Here are a few ideas from the top of my head: As the Wood Turns As The Lathe Turns Magic Woodworks (I like that. why not use it?) Creative Turns Creative(s) Confidential Growth Rings Bench Dogs Branding Iron A Dovetail Joint Burl & Block Or you can do like I did for my old podcast on filmmaking, and take a unique woodworking term and make it your title, maybe changing it just a bit. Good luck! Hey keith, I think the title you came up with is a bit lacking. Here are a few ideas from the top of my head:

I'm with Connie on this one - personally I would extend the wonderful brand you've built up around your blog and use the same name on your podcast. You can broaden the subject in your tagline. My two cents! Hey Keith… I’m with Connie on this one - personally I would extend the wonderful brand you’ve built up around your blog and use the same name on your podcast.

I missed your comment above, about wanting to diversify among the creative arts. What about dropping the "wood" and calling it "Working Magic"? Or does that get too far away from what you want to present? Oops. I missed your comment above, about wanting to diversify among the creative arts.

It can be found alphabetically and logically, and it's closely compatible with the blog. Indeed, they can be seen as counterparts, not just in counterpoint. Blog--I show you magic woodworks; cast--here's how we work the magic. Given that “Magic Woodworks” is established, would “Woodworking Magic” be a suitable title for a cast?

You also have a lot invested in the brand Magic Woodworks, and that doesn't keep you from writing on your blog about other creative endeavors. You can take care of that on both blog and podcast with a tagline: Keith Burtis on Woodturning and Creative Arts. I suggest you rework your blog banner art to incorporate the tagline, and marry your blog and your podcast on the same platform, right here. Whether it's text, audio or video, it's part and parcel of the same creative outlet -- you and your art. Whatever you decide about the name, I'd keep them all the same -- i.e. not have a podcast that is named differently than your blog. Looking forward to seeing you at work on the podcast.

My only concvern is that it is all "Wood" I know I am about wood, but I want to reach a little more broad of an audience. Would a painter watch the wood cast? I dont know, so , my dilemma is wanting to attract the creative professional as well as the woodturning artist. I have many thoughts on marketing, creative process, woodturning, and arts and technology. I would like to grab those viewers as well. Now, I may do a woodturning only Podcast, give folks to reach that feed separate of the other musings, who knows...I am still brainstorming. Thanks again.

Monrae - You'll have a front row seat anytime! Mary - the only reason I thought of not going with "Magic Woodworks" was because I want the title to be easy to find in search, and also an easy description of what the podcast will be. Thank you for the thoughts! Kristina - you have sparked some "Creative Juices" on that one. Amy - Hmmmm, I'll have to think about that. I agree with brand building 100% My concern is when I tell people my company name, they say things like "Whats so magic about it?" They say things like what do you do? and also I want to convey that I am not specific only to wood. Thank you for the brain teaser. Ozzy - Thank you for more brain teasers...I am getting dizzy now...lol. Thank you. Michelle - Thats not a suggestion, something tells me your looking for free schwag!! or dinner!! Rabitroodle - Thank you for your suggestion, I think that may be the route. -Suzy, I'm trying to open it up to creative arts as well. Not trying to box myself in. -Vidsaw, thank you. I think the beginning of my podcast will open this way. "My name is Keith Burtis from Magic Woodworks, welcome to woodturning and creative arts podcast!"
