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.
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.

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
I agree with Stewart. Would maybe shorten to Chandoocast.
Great idea and I agree continue to build the Chandoo brand – my suggestion is ChandooPod.
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
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.
“Can Do Chandoo” is my suggestion.
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.
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.
How about chandcast?
Podoo?
Awesomewords?
‘Cellent?
Duncan
ChanDooCast – The ChanDoo’s and the ChanDon’ts
I love this one!
What about ChandooPod?
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”
chandigital
ePod
dooCast – catch, quick and easy to say, contains a pun and works with the ‘brand’
Agree on using Chandoo in the name, as well as Excel, at least for searchability. But Awesome.xls is clever too!
Chandaudio?
SpreadCast
😛
MS Excel: You Chandoo It!
excel hero
excel master
excel express
excel on the go
Moving excel

Brainy excel
Excel and You
Chandoo Can Do Podcast
I suggest
– Chandoo your Excel
– Lord of the cells
– Chandoo in a cell
– Excel mastery by Chandoo
Podwords or ExcelPod
I think you should call your podcasts “Chandoo Cast” !
Outstanding idea – can’t wait.
Name’s got to have something to do with Chandoo – too original not to use. 🙂
Chandoo.org the exceller
Speaking Cells!
•Chandoo.org Podcast
Sets YOU apart and tells everyone who’s following you (and your genius) that they’ve come to the right place!
I agree with u
It should be “Excel Chat with Chandoo”
I think it’s pretty easy:
Excel Awesomeness
or maybe even
Awesome in Excel
or perhaps: This Week in Excel?
excelcast
excelpod
chandoopod
chandoocast
Podcast title — ‘Excellent’ (Excel-lent)
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!
Awesome.xls came to my mind even before i saw the options..
I liked Chandoo.org Podcast.
Chandoo Castdoo
Cast-o-Excel
I agree with the majority. Chandoo.org Podcast.
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.
try – EXCELerate
How about: Talking of Excel
Chandoo.org Podcast KISS
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 😀
Chandoo Podcast!
It´s a strong trade name!
#1 Choice: Speaking Cells
#2 Choice: Chandoo.org Podcast
It should tie into the Chandoo brand: ChandooCast or Chandoo podcast. Then a subtitle to explain it’s Excel.
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!”

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.

Congrats on the Podcast. I will be sure to subscribe. How about Chandoo-CanDo.xls? I also like Awesome.xls.
Chandoo Excel
I would include Excel in the title so that people who may not know of Chandoo will come across it easily. Excell Success with Chandoo, maybe? Not very creative but your name is there, Excel topic idea is there.
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!
Chandoo.org is itself popular as – Be awesome in excel so you may just simplya go with name –
ChandooPodcast.org (Priority 1) Or AwesomePodcast.org (Priority 2)

I love catchy names that people can instantly relates to Excel and Chandoo.
ExcelTalks with Chandoo
AwesomeExcel by Chandoo
Is “Excel” one of those brand names you can be legally liable for using? If so, I would suggest one of the names that relates more to Chandoo. I prefer “Can Do With Chandoo.”
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”.
Hi
I think PodcastChandoo will do the trick
Chandoo’s Excel Masterclass.
Podcast name:
Excel in Excel
Analysis EXCELlence
EXCELlent Analysis

Chandoo.org speaks
ChandooCasts
Chandoo_Excel_Casts
Fast name that your “disciples” would associate with you ,,,
ChandCast
Doo’s Pod (probably not appropriate 😉
X-Cellent Cast
Chands-cool-cast
I vote for ‘ChandooVoice’
I think “speaking cells ” would be great ! Or,to be more general about analytics, it could be something like “7 minutes analytics”.
Good luck with this great project,I look forward to have my first Excel run !!
