Question(s) of the Week:
NEW! - If you have a question or feedback, click on the “Leave a voicemail” tab on PodcastInsider.com.  Record your question and we may answer it on the show.
Question: I had a couple of bonus episodes from a few months ago that were posted on Patreon only.  As placeholders, I posted blog posts on my website with no actual audio episode attached and instead just a link to the Patreon and all the show notes...but now I want to actually post those as real episodes in the main podcast feed. If I go back to those blog posts and attach an audio episode to them...
1) Will they show up in everyone's podcast app as new episodes?
2) If they do, will they show up with a date of back when I first posted them or will they change to the new current date of when I update them with an actual episode file?
Answer: They’ll show up as new episodes, but backdated based on your post date. If you want them to display as the most recent episodes, change the post dates.
