Pull Up a Chair
Warm welcoming interview podcast theme · 1:02
15 seconds, then a 4 second fade, the way an intro hands over to a voice.
10 to 20 seconds on its own
Long enough to set the mood, short enough to get to the talking.
A long fade
Three to five seconds, so the music slips away instead of stopping.
Start talking in the fade
Your “welcome back” lands while the music is still there.

- Segment break
- A 3 to 5 second piece between topics

- Where it can go
- Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, after any plan or pack
Instrumental, or the show name sung?
Most shows use music only. A sung name is easier to remember.

|---|---|---|
| How | Instrumental: Leave Instrumental on | Show name sung: Switch it off, put the name in the description |
| Under your voice | Instrumental: Easy | Show name sung: Only after the sung line ends |
| Feels like | Instrumental: A theme | Show name sung: A jingle |
| Best for | Instrumental: Interviews, news, stories | Show name sung: Comedy and fun shows |

Questions about podcast intro music
Can I use podcast intro music from here on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube?
Yes, if you made the theme on a paid plan or credit pack. Please don’t register it in Content ID.
How do I make podcast intro music fade under my voice?
Cut the opening with the free Audio Cutter and add a fade-out, then place your voice over the fade in your editor.
Can podcast intro music sing my show’s name?
Yes. Switch Instrumental off and put the show’s name in your description or lyrics, then cut the part you like.
How long should podcast intro music be?
About 10 to 20 seconds before you start talking is common, plus a fade of a few seconds.
Can I use the same podcast intro music on every episode?
Yes. Once it’s yours to use, open every episode with it; that is how listeners learn the show’s sound.
Can podcast intro music have no beat at all?
Yes. Leave Instrumental on and ask for “no drums” or “ambient pads” in the description.
Can I try two podcast intro music themes?
Every V6 run gives two takes. “Deep Breath” came out in C major and D major, so you can try each on an episode before you settle.
