Every detail matters in storytelling, sharing expertise, or cracking jokes with a co-host, and background music is the most important detail here. It sets the tone for your podcast and makes your project sound polished and memorable.
Why Podcasts Need the Right Background Music
In audio and video podcasts, the background track enhances the mood during pauses or transitions and conveys the vibe before you even say a word. When you pause to gather your thoughts, the right music fills dead space.
A sharp audio experience grabs attention and holds it—no one tunes out when their ears are constantly engaged.
And what's more important, it becomes part of your identity, your brand. A recognizable theme song or intro can make your podcast stand out from the crowd.
With Mubert’s online free and subscription-based tools, every user can match their genre-based music generator track precisely to the emotional arc of their episodes. Choose a free or paid plan at an affordable price or buy a lifetime license for one track—no matter what you prefer, every track you generate will be completely royalty-free and copyright-protected, so you can confidently use it in any type of media content, from videos to apps.
Best Music Choices for Engaging Audio Content
The beauty of podcasting is that every show is unique, and your background songs should be too, so here’s how to use tracks in your audio and video content:
- In storytelling and true crime, choose moody music (piano, dark ambient, slow beats) to build suspense.
- In interviews and talk shows, choose light and melodic tunes.
- Polished instrumentals fit educational and professional podcasts best.
- Dreamy music or nature sounds are great for podcasts about mindfulness, self-care, and yoga.
- In hobby and niche content, your podcast's theme might allow for more unexpected tracks.
No matter your focus, the right music will feel like an extension of your content, so don't hesitate to generate and download the best royalty-free sound with Mubert's free or paid plan (or a one-track perpetual license) at a fair price and with no copyright concerns.
