I second Ylan's suggestion to share with broadcasters of Ruby podcasts. You might also (*gulp*) try submitting to Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com). The comments over there are mixed. The problem with HN is that no one is willing to be a generous reader. It's like being contrarian is a badge of honor, so the comments usually smell of condescension. However, that's a vocal few. I've seen some pretty good traffic from HN in the past.
