Swell 4+

Swell is an audio platform for Personal Podcasting, Community Podcasting and Audio Campaigns on Social Media.

Most people think of podcasts as studio recorded talk shows with celebrity interviews, which are very expensive and time-consuming to produce. Swell is taking podcasting back to its roots in self-expression and is making it easy for anyone to start a podcast to share their voice with the world, and to engage with their friends and followers using voice.

PERSONAL PODCASTING

A personal podcast is like an audio blog, where you share your thoughts and ideas in your own voice. It is as easy as posting on social media and can be done anytime and anywhere from your phone. Swell has daily prompts to inspire you with ideas for your podcast, and the unique audio comments feature means that each episode can start a thoughtful conversation with your audience. If you have ever wondered about podcasting, starting a Personal Podcast on Swell is a very easy and quick way to try it out.

COMMUNITY PODCASTING

A community podcast is a shared podcast which is co-created by your community. You can provide prompts for inspiration and anyone can click and record an episode based on your prompts. Use it to talk about shared interests, such as books or sports or your business, with people who share that common interest and want to talk about it.

AUDIO CAMPAIGNS

If you have ever wondered about how you can get better quality engagement with your fans and followers on social media, you should try out an Audio Campaign using Swell. Each campaign starts with a simple prompt that invites thoughtful responses. Create a prompt using your Community Swellcast account and share it on social media. People click on the link and record their audio response, without any need to download the app. Each prompt can get you heartfelt voice responses from your existing social media network.

PODCAST DISTRIBUTION

Swell can distribute your Personal Podcast, Community Podcast or the Audio Campaign to leading podcasting platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube Podcasts, Audible, Pandora and more. Currently, this feature is available by invitation, but very soon this feature will be available to everyone for a small monthly fee (Please see swellcast.com website for more details).

DO YOU LIKE BOOKS?

Swell is popular with authors, publishers and book lovers, featuring many prominent voices both as personal podcasts and community podcasts. Swell regularly features book related prompts, and there are multiple book publishers, book clubs and college book societies that have started their book community podcasts on Swell. There is a thriving community of readers on Swell who like sharing book reviews and talking about books on their Swellcast. So if you enjoy reading books, Swell is a great place to talk about them with fellow readers.
