ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu broadcast the purport of ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam. He sometimes spoke for the benefit of His devotees and sometimes empowered one of His devotees to speak while He listened.

Purport

ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, as an ideal teacher, or ÄcÄrya, explained ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam very elaborately Himself. He sometimes also empowered His devotees to speak while He listened. This is the way an ÄcÄrya should train his disciples. Not only should he describe the bhÄgavata cult personally, but he should also train his disciples to speak on this sublime subject.
