Or maybe follow 90%+ of it.

I do publish a short ‘announcement’ of each episode via Twitter, Facebook and Linked In so that those who have linked with me see that there is a new episode. I also email the few contacts I have with the same details. I also email the members of the History group I’m a member of when I publish one of their talks on my ‘Talking History’ stream and the subscriber’s to my environmental podcast stream.

Apart from that I avoid anti-Social Media like the plague and have no personal presence.

The best lift in listeners for my ‘US Rail Journeys’ stream was when a train broke down and I was interviewed by the local TV network in Carbondale, Illinois. They kindly published the website address on their post about the item.
