What is a Swellcast?

A Swellcast is a short and interactive alternative to a traditional long form podcast. Each episode on Swell can be up to 5 min long and can be recorded and posted quickly and easily from the app. (Swell Audio Creator Program Members can post up to 15 min long Swells, and can also upload up to 1 hr long pre-recorded episodes).

The short audio episodes are easy to create and easy to listen. Support for images and links adds richness to the audio experience. The unique audio reply feature makes it interactive and builds a more engaged and tight knit audio community for your subscribers.
