I think advertising, even if it didn’t pay (which they should have), is still advertising, but it does say the scope and growth of your hobby/project.

Seriously, it’s considered a courtesy to cross-promote other’s podcasts, and I just like GeekBrief. I added it at the end so it wouldn’t bother anyone.
