How to Reach Podcast Listeners All Over the Globe

Why Think Global?

Expanding your reach can help your show grow faster and feel more connected:

Attract listeners from different cultures and regions
Gain fresh ideas, guests, and perspectives
Build community beyond borders
Appeal to international sponsors and collaborations

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.

Make Your Show International-Friendly

A few simple adjustments can help your content resonate worldwide:

Avoid slang or cultural references that might not translate well
Mention your location early on for context
Include global or universally relatable topics
Feature international guests or highlight other regions’ podcasting scenes
Be mindful of time zones when scheduling live events or premieres

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.

Language & Accessibility: Transcripts Matter

Accessibility is key to growing your global reach — and transcripts are a major part of that.

Make your show easier to follow for non-native speakers
Help search engines index your content in more languages
Create opportunities for translated versions of your episodes

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.

Promoting Beyond Borders

To reach and retain international listeners, try:

Listing your show on global directories like Deezer (Europe), JioSavvn (India), Gaana (India) and Anghami (MENA countries)
Using international podcast hashtags (#PodcastBrasil, #PodcasterIndia, #PodcastsUK)
Sharing highlights or translated quotes on social media
Collaborating with creators from other countries

Blubrry helps: With Blubrry’s platform, you can easily update episode metadata, add transcripts, and ensure your show looks professional and discoverable worldwide.

The best place for support with any Blubrry product or service is our ticket system. Tickets give the whole team access vs. direct emails or calls. General podcasting discussion and more can be shared on the Blubrry Podcasting Facebook group.
