Custom podcast intro music
Custom podcast intro music tells listeners which show they're in from the first notes. We compose it around your show and your brand, so the podcast sounds like the company behind it.

Some ways a custom intro helps your show
Recognized in seconds
An intro that opens on one clear idea tells listeners straight away they're in the right show.
Your organization, heard first
Harvard's school of public health, for example, opens its podcasts with its own sonic brand, so listeners know who is talking before the host says it.
Your sonic logo at the start
If your brand has a sonic logo, the intro can open or close on it. Then the podcast and the ads share one sound.
The rest of the show
Outros, music beds under the talking, stings between segments, and the editing are on our podcast branding page. For something we haven't named, ask us.

Some ways we make your intro
It starts from the show
We start with what the show is about, who listens, and how the host sounds, and the music grows from there.
Demos in a few directions
Short demos in different directions come first, and you choose one, with the host if you like.
The voice in the intro
If the intro has a spoken line or the name of the show, we record it in our studio and mix it with the music.
A new season
When the show changes, the intro can get a new arrangement on the same melody, so returning listeners still recognize it.
Something else for your podcast
Some shows also ask for a sonic logo or help with the editing. Tell us about yours.
Questions about podcast intro music
What is the music at the beginning of a podcast called?
Usually the intro or the theme, and the same melody often returns in the outro. For a branded show we write it together with your brand's sound. Request a proposal for yours.
What is some good music for a podcast intro?
That depends on the subject and the host. A calm interview and a fast news show need very different intros, so we write yours for your show. Tell us what it's about.
Who makes the best custom podcast intro music?
Play a studio's brand themes twice. If you recognize them the second time, they work. Hear ours in our work, then send us your brief.
