Seasons… like everything in podcasting, there are many options and then many things to consider. It’s really something I think little about in my day-to-day podcasting work. Here’s my thinking…
If one’s episodes carry a larger story arc, then clearly grouping them into a season makes sense. I don’t do any work like that, so this isn’t a consideration for me.
Little Box of Quotes has way over 1,000 episodes. They’re daily and no one sane would try to listen to all of them. Each episode is tiny and separate. I think people find them individually (via a share, or a search for a person). It makes no sense to group them i to seasons. I’ll just keep piling them on until the sie of the RSS feed breaks podcast player apps.
Movers Mindset I started using seasons a few years ago when I removed episode numbers from my titles. See Titles of episodes and … I thought I had a blog post about episode numbers in titles, but I cannot find it. 
In MM I’ve just been changing the season number each calendar year. Thinking perhaps a new listener might start at the beginning of the most recent season. For Podtalk I’ve just been letting the episodes pile on.
Sometimes I think about doing the conversations (for MM and for Podtalk) in batches and then publishing like 10 episodes at a time, one per week, and calling that a season. Then I could publish a “coming soon” episode explaining when to expect the next batch/season. But all of that just makes more work for me. Instead, when I have a conversation, I publish it.
