Name my podcast
August 16, 2008 8:16 PM Subscribe
I'm planning to start a new podcast focused on mathematics. The problem is that I'm having trouble coming up with a name for it. My goal is to introduce interesting topics and how they relate to everyday life. It'll be directed at making mathematics more accessible to the layman.
So, anyone have ideas for a name?
Tangents and Hyperbole?

Everyday math
Easy as math!
1+1=2
Life by numbers
Life adds up
Positive Integers
Mathematically speaking (subtopics: numerically speaking, statistically speaking, Theoretically speaking, etc.)
Podcastian Geometry
Podcast of Absolute Value
Of Angles and Integers
Conjunction Junction
Pythagorean's Favorite Podcast
Prime Podcasting
P-value
Focal Points
Not so funny arithmetic
It's a factorial!
Flipping Pancakes!
Fundamathematical
Monty Hall's Parodoxical Podcast
Main Domain
Rational Numbers
Laymath
Summing up
I like the idea of naming it something that makes a person go "this doesn't sound like a math podcast. What the heck does Flipping Pancakes, or Toads and Frogs, or Let's Make a Deal have to do with math?" It could inspire interest and curiosity.

"Free Math" and "Easy As Pi" are both excellent suggestions, but I can't resist attempting to come up with a name for something, especially if it's math-related.
