Finding an Audience for A Web Series on Game Design

So, about a month ago a good friend of mine and I started a web series, currently with most of the videos in the form of Lets Plays, where we discuss design decisions made by these games and how well they function. Think if Game Grumps was forcefully more analytical.

In the beginning there were a lot of bugs to work out and there was some trial and error with the first crop of videos, so I had no concerns about marketing the series. I'd rather we not get a lot of hits for the first couple of flubs. But the stuff we've made and are releasing now I feel is better quality for public consumption and I'd like people to actually watch it.

Though I've paid close attention to game design and things going on in gaming all my life, I'm a sports writer by trade and intentionally divorced myself from the social culture built around gaming years ago. And I realize now that I don't really know where to go to find the people who would want to watch this thing. I didn't even have a reddit account until I realized I wanted to ask this question. Can I get any advice?

P.S. I intentionally left no link so this post wouldn't be perceived as some meta-scheme for hits. But if anyone wants to see what I'm talking about I'll post it.
