Theme music, intros and outros, transitions, interview beds and audio drama scores for podcasts and video podcasts, from the theme of the first episode to the last segment.
Listeners recognise a podcast by its theme within a few episodes. Pick one track for the intro and outro, a short sting or jingle for segment changes and a quiet bed for long stretches of talk. Keeping the same few sounds across episodes gives the show an identity without distracting from the conversation.
Background music for interviews and narration should be steady, without busy melodies or sudden changes. Lo-fi, chillhop, downtempo and ambient tracks sit well under a voice. Keep the level low and fade the music out before the key moments, so the words land.
A short, recognisable track with a clear start and a mood that matches the show. Upbeat and cool tracks suit most talk shows, while darker music suits true crime or drama.
Open the Sound Effects tab for short stingers, whooshes and transitions that mark the change between segments.
