In this brief segment, the speaker explains that podcast audiences can expand organically through word‑of‑mouth referrals. Listeners who enjoy the episodes often tell friends, family, or acquaintances—even those in different states—about the show. This sharing leads to a gradual, cumulative increase in listeners, provided the podcast consistently delivers high‑quality content that motivates people to recommend it.

A lot of it's gonna just grow organically by word of mouth. I have some people that, yeah, they've literally listened to all my episodes, but then, oh yeah, I told my friend about your podcast, or I got my mom listening in some other state about your podcast, or your podcast. And it just, the audience will just grow from a few and it just, it will gradually build, especially if you're delivering good content.
