Whether it’s Canada, the UK, India, or beyond, international audiences bring new perspectives and opportunities for growth. In this episode, Dave Clements and Mike Dell talk about how to expand your reach beyond your home country, understand your international audience data, and make your podcast more accessible — no matter where your listeners are tuning in from.

<h2>How to Reach Podcast Listeners All Over the Globe</h2>
<h3>Why Think Global?</h3>
Expanding your reach can help your show grow faster and feel more connected:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Attract listeners from different cultures and regions</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Gain fresh ideas, guests, and perspectives</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Build community beyond borders</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Appeal to international sponsors and collaborations
</li>
</ul>
Blubrry helps: Our IAB-certified podcast statistics show listener data by country and metro area — so you can see exactly where your audience is growing and tailor your outreach accordingly.
<h3>Make Your Show International-Friendly</h3>
A few simple adjustments can help your content resonate worldwide:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Avoid slang or cultural references that might not translate well</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Mention your location early on for context</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Include global or universally relatable topics</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Feature international guests or highlight other regions’ podcasting scenes</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Be mindful of time zones when scheduling live events or premieres</li>
</ul>
Blubrry helps: With flexible publishing tools, you can schedule releases at times that work for multiple regions — keeping your show consistent and accessible no matter the listener’s location.
<h3>Language & Accessibility: Transcripts Matter</h3>
Accessibility is key to growing your global reach — and transcripts are a major part of that.
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Make your show easier to follow for non-native speakers</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Help search engines index your content in more languages</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Create opportunities for translated versions of your episodes</li>
</ul>
Blubrry helps: Our Transcripts Add-On automatically generates accurate episode transcripts that can be easily translated — making your podcast discoverable and inclusive, even for audiences who don’t speak your language.
<h3>Promoting Beyond Borders</h3>
To reach and retain international listeners, try:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Listing your show on global directories like Deezer (Europe), JioSavvn (India), Gaana (India) and Anghami (MENA countries)</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Using international podcast hashtags (#PodcastBrasil, #PodcasterIndia, #PodcastsUK)</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Sharing highlights or translated quotes on social media</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Collaborating with creators from other countries</li>
