Episode 511 - Can I Change My Podcast Episode Title and What is a Bonus Podcast 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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
