HOW CAN SWIMSWAM NOT HAVE A PODCAST?!
John Culhane has been a long-time contributor to the print version of SwimSwam Magazine, and earlier this year he presented us with a pitch for a podcast. The idea is to go beyond the news cycle, and dive deeper into the sport that we all love by interviewing the biggest names in swimming. And not just a post-race interview about splits and times, but a deep dive into the hottest topics of the day.
In the first episode of the new podcast, John chats with Olympic medalist Cody Miller, who won a gold medal as part of the American 400 medley relay and a bronze in the 100 breaststroke at the 2016 Olympic Games.

Google music, I havn’t checked yet.. But that would be a great place to host this podcast too!
Great, we’ll get it done!
Great podcast !!! thanks for doing this guys ….hope more will follow like this one . Cody is indeed very interesting to listen to ….
I love the idea of a Swimswam podcast and look forward to it growing, but 5 minutes in, I can’t help but feel like I’m sitting in on one of Professor Culhane’s lectures.
Wouldn’t that be a good thing? Seriously, I hear you. I’ll get livelier for the next installment. Also, go to about the 7:25 mark, and you’ll get to hear what I think is a great interview with Cody Miller.
Great first guest and great to see SwimSwam re-enter the podcast fray. I did have a bit of trouble getting the Podbean app volume up high enough and hoping the apple podcasts version addresses that. And I echo Theo in that it did seem a bit, um, scholarly. Part of what makes Cody’s vlogs and podcasts great is the energy and the rawness. Great podcasts bring that energy. Otherwise it does risk becoming another KickSet which is also strong on content but a bit lacking on engagement. I’ll still listen though so thanks for doing it!
Thanks for the feedback! It’s a work in progress, and we’ll definitely crank the energy up.
You definitely Alec Scott from Palo Alto Aquatic Club on there
