Professor Goetsch Spreads the Word of Pod”˜Professor’ Goetsch gave an informal presentation entitled ”˜Spreading the Word of Pod: Getting More People to Listen to Podcasts’ on September 27, 2007, at Podcamp SoCal in Ontario, California. Here are some of the suggestions people had for bringing podcasting to a wider audience.

  • Subscribe them to podcasts through TiVo
  • Establish links back to your podcast through Yahoo! Answers
  • Use PodcastSender to send download links to any podcast by e-mail
  • Hold podcast parties: invite friends for a demonstration of how to listen to podcasts
  • Have them call in to listen to your podcast using Phonecasting
  • Send podcast episodes via cell phone with FoneShow
  • Take out pay-per-click ads that point people to your podcast blog
  • Interview well-known bloggers and journalists on your show: they’ll do some of the promotion for you
  • Set up smart playlists for your friends and family
