Pulls in listeners across north (5)
I believe the answer is:
earns
'pulls in' is the definition.
('earn' can be a synonym of 'pull in')
'listeners across north' is the wordplay.
'listeners' becomes 'ears'.
'across' is an insertion indicator.
'north' becomes 'N' (synonyms).
'ears' going around 'n' is 'EARNS'.
(Other definitions for earns that I've seen before include "ready for work?" , "Gains by labour" , "Acquires by effort" , "Deserves for snare" , "Merits through work" .)
