These peoples know what they say.

First, start with your email sig, or lack of one. You need a title and site
in every email you send.

Next, start cruising the social networks. Twitter, Bebo, Facebook, MySpace,
Pownced, LinkedIn, Plaxo, Friendfeed, Brightkite, etc. Claim your name and
podcast in each of these sites before someone else does. Get a HelloTxt
account and then you can update all of them at the same time.

Start talking to others on these sites so they get to know you. No B.S.
about listening to your podcast. Start a real conversation, and then they
will get to know who you are and what you love. Then everytime you have a
new show come out, update your network. Since they already have had
interaction with you, they will be curious and perhaps check out the show.

Listen to other podcasts with similiar interests. Comment on their voicemail
lines and their sites.

Visit blogs and comment on them. Real genuine comments. If people like what
you have to say, they will follow the link to your site.

Start your own blog. Extend your content and grow it from there.

It's all about the conversation. If it is real, people will listen.

If you need help, or more specifics, just ask. We live for that stuff.
