What is podcast music?

Podcast music is used to create a particular mood for listeners and is usually played as a podcast intro or as the transition between themes.

How can I add music to my podcast?

Can I customize music for my podcast's needs?

Podcast intro and background music for shows, trailers, and episodes

Your opening seconds set the tone. A clear podcast intro makes the show feel intentional, while a gentle podcast background music bed keeps attention on the voice without crowding it. In this collection you’ll find soft beds for interviews, snappier jingles for segments, and tidy outros for credits and calls to action.

Expect light piano and guitars, subtle pulses, neutral pads, and clean percussive ticks that sit under narration. Try “Time To Chill Out” for a confident start, “Feel The Waves” for interview beds, and “Ice Cream Buble” for tidy endings. Featured composers include AG Music, DPmusic, and Infraction, who write edit-ready cues with loopable middles and clean button endings.

Every download includes MP3 and WAV plus a license PDF for commercial use and client delivery. If you publish across multiple platforms or hand off to a network, switch on the Hide Content ID filter. If you specifically need no copyright podcast intro music for YouTube, that setting helps avoid automated claims and keeps multi-platform uploads smooth.

FAQ – Music for Podcasts

How long should an intro be for most podcasts?
Aim for 6–15 seconds. Lead with a clear start, add a short rise, and land on a firm button so your first line comes in clean. Narrative shows can stretch a little longer if the bed supports a cold open.

Do I need a separate jingle for segments, or can one theme do it all?
One theme can cover most needs if it has distinct sections. Use the hook for the main intro, a simplified bar for transitions, and a short sting for bumpers. If your format shifts a lot, add a light jingle to mark each segment.

What helps dialogue stay clear over a music bed?
Choose simple harmony, gentle highs, and a steady rhythm. Keep the bed several dB below the voice, dip it on key lines, and leave a brief breath before numbers, names, or quotes.

When should I choose a song vibe instead of a pure instrumental bed?
Use a song-like cue when you want character and memorability in the intro or trailer. Pick a neutral instrumental for interviews and explanations where the host’s tone should lead from start to finish.
