Podcast marketing ideas?

Hi,

I launched a podcast of interviews ("Interviews with Ronald Lewis" in late January, and I'm already heading toward the 20,000 mark in total downloads -- thanks to the appearances by Southwest Airlines, Alex Tew (my show is the only podcast to feature him outside of the mainstream), etc. I think it's a record accomplishment, considering this happened by accident, and that I do not have a journalism background.

I have been calling the media pitching stories, the podcast, etc., and I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas to increase the podcast's visibility? I am more than pleased with the podcast overall, but it has so much more potential (millions in reach) because of its valuable content.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have it listed in the Podcast listing services? Kind of like a clearinghouse for all th epodcasts, organized by category.

Not sure off any names off-hand, but I kno they exist - perhaps a quick search for "podcast lists" or "podcast distribution" might uncover some leads?

Thanks for your reply. I have listed the podcast in several directories, and just created my first promo for it last night. Still trying to find that "sweet spot" to really ignite the interest in what I'm doing.

It takes time and stick-to-it-iveness, but it'll happen.

...and check out these places for inclusion, too:
