In the last couple of years, in December/January, the 80,000 Podcast has re-posted or re-released a few episodes from previous years and highlighted them as 'classic' episodes.

What episodes will be marked as 'classic' next?

This will resolve YES to 1+ episodes, depending on how many episodes get re-released as 'classics' in the next 'batch'. Ie. from when the next 'classic' episode is (re-)released, until regular (new) episodes are released.

In other words, last year this would have resolved YES for:
#100 (re-)posted on December 27th 2023 (originally released May 2021)
#111 (re-)posted on January 4th 2024 (originally released September 2021)
#112 (re-)posted on January 8th 2024 (originally released October 2021)

#90 (re-)posted on January 12th 2024 (originally released January 2021)

These were released in one 'batch', ie with no new 'regular' episodes in between them (though there was a one-off highlights episode) and are highlighted as 'classic episodes' in their titles

At the end of 2023, 4 episodes originally released in 2021 were marked as 'classic'

At the end of 2022, 3 episodes originally released in 2020 were marked as 'classic'

At the end of 2021, 2 episodes originally released in 2019 AND 2 episodes originally released in 2018 were marked as 'classic'

At the end of 2019, 3 episodes originally released in 2018 were marked as 'classic'

Given this pattern, I am setting episodes from 2022 as answers

The deadline may be extended as necessary
