What should we call our Podcast?

Friends and supporters of Chandoo.org,

I am very happy to tell you about another great way to learn Excel & stay awesome

Chandoo.org podcast

That is right. As part our mission to make you awesome in Excel, this year I will be adding a podcast.

Chandoo.org Podcast Coming Soon

A podcast eh? Why?

Let me tell you a story first. One of my goals for 2014 is to increase my stamina. So on Jan 1st of 2014, I opened Nike + app on my iPhone, went to coach feature and selected “Run 10K” as my first goal. It has been 3 years since I ran 10k. So I wanted to get back in the game to improve my fitness and health. The app suggested an 8 week program to help me reach 10k. It sounded difficult, as I had to run more than 250 KM in 8 weeks. But I pushed on. As of today, I am at 177.  I know I missed a few days here and there, but I already ran 10K thrice since starting and I feel good about where I am today.

Dude… what are you talking about? I am here to know about the podcast!

I am coming to that. To give me company during the runs, I choose a bunch of podcasts. This is the first time in my life I paid serious attention to podcasts. It is a fruitful experience. Every time I go for a jog, not only I am getting healthier, but also smarter. I realized how powerful, effective and useful podcasting can be. So I thought, “Why not provide similar experience to our readers?”

And thus born the idea of Chandoo.org Podcast.

How will the podcast help you?

I am still at the drawing board when it comes to our show. But here is what you will gain,

  • Strategies & tactics: You will learn about various spreadsheet design strategies, tactics, tricks and ideas I follow. You will learn how to handle tricky situations (like lots of data, changing requirements, dynamic everything, no vba etc.).
  • Whats new: What is happening the world of spreadsheets, data analysis, visualization, reporting & self-service BI. My views & opinions mixed with latest industry trends.
  • Tips & Tricks: Excel tips, tricks, ideas that are easy to remember and quick to implement.
  • Interviews: Interviews with fellow Excel gurus, bloggers, MVPs and authors. Hopefully we get to feature Microsoft Excel team members, industry leaders and other prominent figures.
  • Case studies & Personal experiences: Explanations on projects, things I am learning and how to manage large-scale spreadsheet development projects.
  • Book & Product Reviews: I read a lot of books on data analysis. I also come across quite a few add-ins, templates, Excel courses. My views and recommendations on the same so that you can make informed decisions.
  • Ask Chandoo: Send me your questions. I will answer them in the podcast.
  • Announcements: Announcements about my upcoming training programs, live classes or products so that you can make the best use of them.

When is it launching?

In the first week of May. I will share more details once we are ready to go. Few more things:

  • It is free and awesome. Just like our articles, tutorials & examples.
  • You can subscribe to it thru iTunes, Zune or other popular pod-casting directories.
  • You can also listen to it from our site.
  • Full episodes, show notes, resources and downloadable templates will be posted on our site.
  • I am hoping to do a show once every 2 weeks. Lets see how this goes.

What should we call it?

If all of this sounds interesting, here is how you can help.

I am still not sure what to call this podcast. I have a few options for the name. Can you suggest one?

The names I am thinking are,

  • Awesome.xls
  • Speaking Cells
  • Become Awesome Analyst Podcast
  • Chandoo.org Podcast

Can you tell me which one should I use? Post your choice in the comments.

PS: If you don’t like any of these names, suggest some.

  1. Stewart Lancaster says:

    id go with • Chandoo.org Podcast - you have already built your brand and it would tie the site , your courses and your podcast together

    i would probably have a subtitle like the one on your site so it would come up if people search for excel also

  2. jraju says:

    Hey , This only works for android appliances. Why cannot include java phones for this wonderful thought. cell is a comman word meaning more than excel cells
    I would suggest Speaking Excel Cell, or Speaking Excel(s),
    a new name containing that it is about excel, which is chandoo is too famous,
    Your coining of word Speaking is having dramatic effect as speaking clock.
    Thank you, and if you are thinking of jar files support for java nokia, So many old mobile users would also benefit

    • Chandoo says:

      Hi jraju...

      Thanks for the suggestions. I will be providing MP3 download for all sessions. So you can play them on any audio player or phone. Apart from this you can subscribe to the podcast thru an app (not sure if a java app exists, but give it a try) so that you can get latest episodes as they go live.

  3. TBR says:

    "Can Do Chandoo" is my suggestion.

  4. Andi says:

    If you call it 'Awesome.xls' people will think it only contains tips up to Excel 2003... 😉

    When you're up and running make sure you get the pod uploaded onto Stitcher - great app.

  5. Ashoka says:

    Hi Chandoo...
    Chandoo.org is already a brand in itself and the name of the podcast should also be build around the same name I hope.
    Also device some method for windows phone as well.

  6. Duncan says:

    How about chandcast?

    Podoo?

    Awesomewords?

    'Cellent?

    Duncan

  7. DarkD says:

    ChanDooCast - The ChanDoo's and the ChanDon'ts

  8. Pavi says:

    What about ChandooPod?

  9. Kneemoy says:

    The most successful podcast names I've seen have a somewhat unique title and a description combined together. Something like "Pivotcast: Excel tips and tricks from Chandoo"

  10. DarkD says:

    chandigital

  11. Jeff Koenig says:

    dooCast - catch, quick and easy to say, contains a pun and works with the 'brand'

  12. Wafflecopter says:

    Agree on using Chandoo in the name, as well as Excel, at least for searchability. But Awesome.xls is clever too!

  13. Ryan says:

    Chandaudio?

  14. Zuhair Bukhari says:

    SpreadCast

    😛

  15. Peter Merante says:

    MS Excel: You Chandoo It!

  17. Leah says:

    Chandoo Can Do Podcast

  18. Cesar Chavez Belmont says:

    I suggest
    - Chandoo your Excel
    - Lord of the cells
    - Chandoo in a cell
    - Excel mastery by Chandoo

  19. Munmun says:

    Podwords or ExcelPod

  20. Janice Hoffman says:

    I think you should call your podcasts "Chandoo Cast" !

  21. eknuppel says:

    Outstanding idea - can't wait.

    Name's got to have something to do with Chandoo - too original not to use. 🙂

  22. Abdulla says:

    Chandoo.org the exceller

  23. Karen Williams says:

    Speaking Cells!

  24. douglas blackley says:

    •Chandoo.org Podcast

    Sets YOU apart and tells everyone who's following you (and your genius) that they've come to the right place!

  25. Dharmik says:

    It should be "Excel Chat with Chandoo"

  26. Hutch says:

    I think it's pretty easy:

    Excel Awesomeness

    or maybe even

    Awesome in Excel

    or perhaps: This Week in Excel?

  27. rspammi says:

    excelcast
    excelpod
    chandoopod
    chandoocast

  28. Harshavardhan Bhusari says:

    Podcast title -- 'Excellent' (Excel-lent)

  29. Geoff Koch says:

    Why not "Excel Talk feat. Chandoo" or something of the sort? Of the choices given, I enjoyed Awesome.xls the most, but agree with Andi that the name may create confusion for some.

    Either way, I am excited about this!

  30. Karthik says:

    Awesome.xls came to my mind even before i saw the options..

  31. Shiva Shekhar says:

    I liked Chandoo.org Podcast.

  32. Adam Frank says:

    Chandoo Castdoo

  33. kalyan says:

    Cast-o-Excel

  34. Steve says:

    I agree with the majority. Chandoo.org Podcast.

  35. That is an awesome news Chandoo 🙂 My choices are in the ascending order below.

    1. ChandCast
    2. Awesome.xls
    3. Speaking Cells - this sound unique and thought provoking.

  36. rich soby says:

    try - EXCELerate

  37. Normand says:

    How about: Talking of Excel

  38. Art says:

    Chandoo.org Podcast KISS

  39. Jacqueline says:

    I CAN do Excel / a Chandoo.org Podcast
    Chandoo.org:Speak Excel Podcast
    Chandoo.org:Sounds of Excel Podcast
    Chandoo.org:ExcelCast

    I agree with another person on the comment of putting the site and a name/description (short description) When people look for podcasts it would help in selecting one and also people who are doing a search for Excel podcasts might be looking for the word "Excel" or "Chandoo" - this would help get more listeners and possibly broaden an audience for the website, esp. for the unfortunate Excel users who do not know about it 😀

  40. Marcelo Faria says:

    Chandoo Podcast!
    It´s a strong trade name!

  41. Jeanilee Bush says:

    #1 Choice: Speaking Cells
    #2 Choice: Chandoo.org Podcast

  42. Lind says:

    It should tie into the Chandoo brand: ChandooCast or Chandoo podcast. Then a subtitle to explain it's Excel.

  43. Andy says:

    I think that you should continue your branding by keeping the name "Chandoo" in the name of the podcast. It will help newcomers to your site connect the podcast with the your other library of tutorials and notes.
    Also, although I'm not suggesting this as a title, I think your trademark phrase for the podcast should be, "You'll Be Amazed At What You Can Do, With Chandoo!"

  44. Jaydeep says:

    Didasko.xlsx - greek word “to impart knowledge”

  45. Brian says:

    Question: 3D printing is getting a lot of high tech focus. Can I do Excel charts and send them to a 3D printer? Sounds like I want a model of the 3D chart - YES. I forsee Excel as a data source that will push to 3D printing. YES - DNA me some day.

    I hope that your podcasts start with the very basics for those of us that are starting out.

    Good luck with podcasts AND your running!

  163. Amathya says:

    My suggestion would be a wordplay. Something along the lines of "XL-on-the-Go" or "Chandoo's XL On the Go" or Chandoo's ExCell-On-the-Go" or Chandoo's Excell-o-Pod". Tagline "Egging you on to excel @ Excel anywhere, anytime".
