Podcast Episode Release Dates - Bring Dead Episodes Back to Life By Doing This One Simple Step

Episode 548 - Podcast Episode Release Dates - Bring Dead Episodes Back to Life By Doing This One Simple Step Podcast Show Notes: Bring Dead Episodes Back to Life by Changing One Simple Setting In this episode of The How To Podcast Series, host Dave shares a clever, little-known tactic for breathing new life into older podcast episodes. Every creator has standout interviews or timeless episodes buried deep in their catalog that deserve to be heard again. Instead of re-releasing them or re-recording updates, Dave walks listeners through a simple step that can make those forgotten gems resurface—and it costs nothing. The secret? Adjusting the original release date in your podcast host. By updating an episode’s publish date to a more recent (but still past) date, that older episode moves up in your public feed. Suddenly, it sits near your latest releases, catching the attention of new listeners who might never scroll hundreds of episodes back. It’s a way of quietly “remixing” your archive, giving older but evergreen content another chance to shine. Dave emphasizes a few key points: document the original date before making changes, never future-date an old episode (to avoid triggering an accidental “new release” alert), and always test this with one episode first. Once an old episode gains fresh engagement, you can easily revert it to its original date—since you’ve already recorded it in your show notes. The process is reversible, free, and incredibly effective. He likens this to how concerts mix classic hits with new songs. Fans expect legacy moments, not just brand-new material—and podcast audiences are no different. If your show’s topics are evergreen or your guest has become relevant again, changing an episode’s position in your lineup helps introduce meaningful content to new followers who discovered your show recently. Dave also offers a bonus tip: when you republish an older episode, message the guest featured in that episode to let them know their conversation is getting reintroduced. It’s both a kind gesture and a smart way to rekindle relationships with past collaborators. Later in the conversation, Dave answers listener questions about his preferred podcast hosting platforms—Spotify for Creators, Buzzsprout, and Captivate FM—breaking down what makes each effective for different needs. From free hosting options to multi-show management, he underscores the importance of choosing a host that fits your creative style and growth goals. Throughout the episode, Dave’s tone balances experimentation and encouragement, reminding creators that their back catalog holds real value. The trick isn’t to start over—it’s to make the most of what you already have. Key takeaway: Your old episodes aren’t dead; they’re just buried. By strategically adjusting publish dates, you can reintroduce timeless content to new audiences, extend the life of your podcast, and keep your best work in circulation—without recording a single new word. ____ Helping Podcasters Everyday!  https://howtopodcast.ca/ We would love to hear from you - here is our listener survey! https://forms.gle/GbrFv9DGszV8N4PW6
