What to look for

The catalog has few tracks made for this job, so this list is picked by hand from titles, lengths and tags rather than by a search. The intros are the longer tracks and the stings the shorter ones. The stings include Kenney's one-second jingles, which fit a segment change. Many jingles in the catalog come from game music packs, so listen before you choose one as your show's identity.

License

22 of the 24 tracks on this page are CC0. 2 are CC BY 4.0. They need credit, and the row shows the credit line to copy. If you use a CC BY track, put its credit line in your show notes and your feed description. Because you will use the same track every episode, the license matters more than for a one-off video.

How to use it

Trim the intro to the length you want and fade the end into the first line of the episode. Keep the unedited file so you can re-export it. Search "intro" in the finder to see everything tagged that way, including many game themes that do not fit a podcast.
