Podcast music

Create an engaging, professional-quality show with podcast music from Universal Production Music. Like the radio shows that came before them, podcasts are an audio-only medium. This means that great audio and sound play an even more crucial role in setting the scene and the mood. Music for podcasting includes themes that are ideal for creating brand recognition, cut music that’s great for transitioning between segments, and subtle soundscapes perfect for playing in the background underneath dialogue. Whether you’re looking for music that feels futuristic for your podcast about science and technology, music that builds suspense for your true-crime podcast, or a bouncy melody to accompany your podcast for kids-- this extensive library has it all. Podcast background music spans many different genres, moods, and styles. To help you narrow down your search, we offer curated playlists and thematic albums.
