After 9 years of podcasting and approaching 500 episodes, I'm sharing my honest thoughts on whether episode numbers actually matter for most podcasts. Spoiler alert: they probably don't matter as much as you think!
In this episode, I break down when episode numbers are crucial vs. when they're just technical baggage. I also share how I've been experimenting with my own show format, consolidating from 4-5 podcasts down to 3, and why I stopped saying episode numbers during recordings.
Whether you're just starting your podcast or you're a seasoned host questioning your current system, this episode will help you think more strategically about episode numbering and what actually serves your audience.
