Can I Change My Podcast Episode Title and What is a Bonus Episode

Episode 496 - Can I Change My Podcast Episode Title and What is a Bonus Episode - Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips

Understanding Podcast Episode Numbers & Bonus Episodes

• Use your podcast host to number episodes—this helps listeners find and reference them easily.

• Dave prefers adding the episode number (“E123”) at the start of the title for quick navigation.

• Do what works for you! Customizing your numbering system is all about listener convenience and personal organization.

Bonus Episodes

• Bonus episodes are not part of your regular episode sequence.

• Use them for announcements, news, or special features.

• Bonus episodes can be released at any time, appear by release date rather than episode order, and can be added or backdated anytime.

• Real example: Dave updated past group-author interviews for "Living The Next Chapter"—converting them from unnumbered bonus episodes to regular, numbered ones after the fact.

Podcasting Flexibility & Learning Opportunities

• You have full control over your episode release schedule, numbering, and show structure.

• Don’t hesitate to make changes that work best for your show and your audience.
