The Young Turks on Podcast Alley

How you can help promote the Young Turks via Podcast Alley.

First a quick explanation about what www.podcastalley.com is, they describe themselves as a “podcast lovers portal”. Basically it’s a huge directory of podcasts, and once a month the members of the website vote on their favorite podcasts, then the site publishes a top ten best podcasts list for the month. The Young Turks should dominate this list, with your help we can make that a reality.

The first thing you’ll need to do is sign up at www.podcastalley.com.

Once you’re signed up, search “The Young Turks” (the search box is located on the right side of the webpage) this will bring up a list of podcasts, find and  click on “The Young Turks” and you’ll see three options, “Get Podcast”, “Vote” and “See Details”, simply click “Vote”.

One important note about the voting process, you can only vote ONCE a month.
