Create an action of the type format tag field for the desired tag field  
Enter as format string:  
$num(%\_counter%,4) at [http://www.thisamericanlife.org](http://www.thisamericanlife.org)

Select all the files that should get renumbered. In your example this should be at least all the 432).  
Apply the action.  
The action always begins at "1".
