    420. When to Use Podcast Episode Numbers
    Feb 18 2026

    I've changed my mind since 12 years ago in episode 175, when I proposed that episode numbers were unnecessary for most podcasts. Now, I see more cases when you should consider using episode numbers with your podcast.

    It comes down to this: use episode numbers when they matter to your audience.

    Specifically, here's how to determine when that applies.

    Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/whenepisodenumbers

    1. Use episode numbers for serial podcasts [00:53] 2. Use episode numbers if frequently referencing other episodes [02:58]
    • My original episode 175 about episode numbers: https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/are-podcast-episode-numbers-really-necessary-in-podcasting-show-notes-tap175/
    3. Use episode numbers for file and folder organization [15:16]
    • Use PodChapters to quickly transcribe and chapter your podcast! https://podchapters.com/
    4. Use episode numbers when you can't make better episode URLs [18:15] 5. Use episode numbers correctly and efficiently in episode titles [21:41]

    Special thanks [26:42]
