It would seem Jason that you already have the platforms to get those kind of numbers. With Veronica's CNET roots and following and her ability to be on big shows like TWIT to plug the show your more set up for quick big number success than pretty much anyone on this group.
The only things I can think of that can help is to court the iTunes podcast guys for some front page features, as Rupert said, to try to work something out with Youtube as well. Some other things are to try to get featured on BoingBoing or other large circulation blogs. As far as hosting services getting you that kind of circulation Blip is about as big as they come. Other than Podshow that is, but I'm not to partial to their business practices. If you figure out a sure fire way to get six figure numbers quickly make sure and tell me. I've been going for 2 years and just get 11k or so downloads per episode. Rev.
