About this listen

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.
