Hi I also think that pointing people to the other lists for this purpose is the way to go here. It seems to me that that's why those lists exist so why not? Yes it can be argued that podcasts are audio related, but if there are lists for the purpose of advertising them, why not just post that stuff there? The adds wouldn't really bother me, but I know it does a lot of other folks so that seems like a good compromise.
