Updating blog post pub date without changing podcast order

Hi,

We are in the process of updating some of the content on our website. Most of our posts consist of supporting content for our podcast episodes (actual written articles, not merely a list of things we mention on the show).

In updating these posts, we want to update the publish date of the blog post to show that the content is current. However, we’re finding that this resubmits the podcast included in the post…so it moves to the top of the RSS feed and as such now shows as the most recent episode of the podcast (when, in fact, the episode itself is from last year).

This messes up the order in general because our episodes are numbered (we have 362 episodes so far), and also messes with our promoting (when we talk about the most recent episode on our social media channels, but then it doesn’t show at the top of our itunes feed).

Is there a way to update the date of the blog post containing the podcast episode WITHOUT resubmitting it to the feed? Thanks in advance.
