Please share your thoughts by replying here, and if I possible, please include a link to your podcast as well in your reply. I would love to check it out. Thank you
Well, I don't know if this applies to me because I'm still a student, but I have always wanted to start a podcast, but I never have because it just was like too much energy. You have to invest in a lot of really expensive audio equipment and you have to make sure that you can organize a time where you can have the interview present in your interviewee present in your space. And it just seemed like a really big production. Don't get me wrong, I love podcasts
Hi, Jeff. Yes, that made perfect sense. I'm glad to see that you are taking advantage of the ability to interview people using swirl and that is one of the core strengths of the platform where you can just start a swirl and invite somebody and people can reply on their own time. Glad to see that you like it and are taking advantage of it. Thank you. You're

Because reading an email or a message on a social platform, that's great and all, but to hear somebody actually deliver the message with the inflections in their voice where they want them to be, maybe they were a lot funnier than they come off in text or something like that. So for that, I think Swell would be an amazing tool while you have a podcast. And that's the immediate thing that jumps off the top of my head
And you would think it would be a good way for them to actually talk to their biggest fans and followers and audience and especially on specific topics and questions. And the feeling I got and I could be wrong here is that for many of them they are not really interested in talking to the audience. So they're interested in creating a lot of content so they can have a high volume of output because they are trying to build that kind of body of work, if you will, whatever the platform is

I listen to a lot of movie podcasts. If you're discussing fun, light hearted, frivolous things, I could see it maybe being a lot more useful of a tool. But perhaps if you're running a politically driven show and you don't want any voices of opposition trolls, if you will, flooding your Swell, I guess we'll call it feed or inbox or however you want to call it what it would be used as a podcast. Maybe that becomes an unattractive proposition

And for me it was always a degree of angst and debate on how to utilize an app like Swell versus a practice like podcasting, because in many instances they're the same, but in other instances they kind of compete with each other. And what I mean by that is, with Swell, you have the built in ability for people to respond to your posts that are part of that Swell community. So it's almost what everybody wants with their podcasts is to have a community of people out there
Hi average. Yes. Your idea about superchartlike feature that can be monetised makes a lot of sense. I think as Sol evolved on the line we will be bringing in monetization. And as we are committed to not bringing ads into the app itself, the motivation will come around something that will give creators podcasts and ability to kind of create premium content or engage and monetize that in some way. So that will come down the line hopefully that'll attract more podcasts to the platform. So we will see

I think that if you are interested in podcasts, the most important thing is engagement. And in order to do that, you must come up with ideas or content that will give you engagement or possibly responses. I was a YouTuber back in the day and I didn't have expensive equipment. I just spent a lot of time learning how to get that engagement that I wanted. I also spent my time elevating myself and elevating my skills to make my content stand out

And it's not forced to podcasting or anything video production, more detail, which is sort of what I did on YouTube. It's fun. It starts out fun. You have ideas, but then those ideas turn into effort and the effort you may enjoy at the beginning, but when you start to put more and more effort, you begin to get structure. When you begin to get structure, it becomes a job

You just decided not to because it could be an uncomfortable subject and you're not sure if the subject of the subject or the content that you do put out, whether it be whether it would not give you the response that you were looking for more so people would focus on the shock value or the uncomfortableness where you may have thought you know what? Maybe I won't put that out. I certainly have for the past two weeks. Possibly longer
No one's going to pay interest. So Swell has been really good to kind of forced me to look at the topic and see if it can be explained in five minutes. That's really interesting part of doing this. So really enjoying it

My music show has been decently popular and you can find me on Saturday night if you want to drop in and take a listen or ask me any questions that you want. I found Swell on my Facebook page and I thought I might take a listen to what some people said. And the podcast environment is really cool out there. You could interview anybody from musicians to doctors to pretty much anybody that you can get a hold of

Hello Ali. So you talked about Podcasting, right? People out there I know have started podcasting and I always wonder like how to do podcast. And when I talk to someone who isn't a podcasting company, you need to download these apps. You need to do from these apps so that you have better quality. But as I have no value

I don't have any episodes over there because I've deleted all my episodes. But I do have an intro, a trailer, a channel trailer, if you may call it that way. You can check that out. And if you check out my podcasts, My Swells, you will find that I make them in the podcasts episode. So that would really be in the podcasts episode format. So that would really be helpful if you add that option for us to add an intro

Hi, I'm not a podcaster by my profession, but after coming to the apps, well, I am somewhat in enjoying this whole scenario that's going on in front of me because I'm able to interact with many people out here, and I'm getting a chance to modulate my voice to bring up the inner RJ or the podcaster in me
