Real Life Real Crime is a Louisiana show, and its early audience was Louisiana listeners who recognized the parishes, the sheriff's offices, and the cases from local news. A podcast website that ranks for those case names and host names in Baton Rouge and Livingston Parish search results is how a regional show turns word of mouth into subscribers outside the state.
