The Story Behind SwissCast Network: Building Community, One Show at a Time

When I founded SwissCast Network, I saw something that needed to exist but didn't yet: a home for independent English-speaking podcasters creating content in, for, and about Switzerland.

I kept encountering incredible shows—thoughtful, well-produced, authentic voices sharing stories about health, entrepreneurship, personal growth, and life in Switzerland. But these creators were working in isolation. They lacked the resources, visibility, and collaborative support that could amplify their reach. Meanwhile, the English-speaking audience in Switzerland had no central place to discover these shows.

That's where the idea for SwissCast Network was born.

The Vision

From the beginning, SwissCast Network was built on three core goals:

Support independent creators in growing their audiences and achieving their podcast goals through shared resources, technical infrastructure, and production support.

Give small and medium businesses a new way to reach affluent English-speaking audiences in Switzerland through value-based podcast advertising and sponsorships.

Create a one-stop destination where English-speaking listeners could discover high-quality shows connected to Switzerland.

I wasn't interested in building just another podcast network focused purely on download numbers and CPM rates. I wanted to create a collaborative community where creators genuinely support each other's success.

The Founding Shows That Believed First

In November 2024, several shows took a leap of faith and became SwissCast Network's founding members. These were the podcasters who trusted in the vision before we had proof of concept, who believed that collaboration could be more powerful than going it alone.

So Frickin' Healthy with Danna Levy Hoffmann and myself explores women's health, midlife wellness, and the science behind feeling amazing. This show tackles everything from menopause to behavior change with warmth, humor, and evidence-based insights.

Becoming a Health Coach brings conversations with health coaches, wellness practitioners, and entrepreneurs building businesses around helping others thrive. It's where coaching strategy meets real-world application.

Narratives of Purpose® with Dr. Claire Murigande features deep conversations about healthcare innovation, leadership, and purpose-driven work. Claire's show has even been featured at international conferences like HIMSS Europe.

Back After Burnout with Karina Schneider provides a lifeline for anyone recovering from burnout, offering practical strategies and compassionate guidance for rebuilding after hitting rock bottom.

The Pricing Lady with Janene Liston dives into pricing strategy, business development, and the psychology of value—essential listening for entrepreneurs and business owners.

These founding shows represent the diversity and quality at the heart of SwissCast Network. They span health and wellness, entrepreneurship, business strategy, and personal development. They serve both Swiss residents and global audiences curious about Switzerland. Most importantly, they demonstrate the power of independent voices creating meaningful content.

Growing Through Trust and Collaboration

What makes SwissCast Network different is our commitment to sustainable growth over viral explosions. We focus on building genuine community connections, strategic cross-promotion, and monetization models that work for independent creators—not just massive shows with millions of downloads.

The founding shows proved that podcast networks built on collaboration actually work. Starting in 2026, our network had grown to include new members like Passport to Wealth™ with Arielle Tucker, exploring financial independence and wealth-building strategies. We've also been developing exciting new shows launching in 2026.

Our network has achieved consistent month-over-month growth, with shows reaching audiences across 87 countries. We've implemented dynamic ad insertion technology, launched our Guest Amplification Program, and created infrastructure that lets creators focus on content while we handle technical support, analytics, and growth strategy.

What's Next

SwissCast Network continues to grow with intention. We're looking for established English-speaking podcasts connected to Switzerland—whether based here, serving Swiss audiences, or covering Swiss topics. We're also developing partnerships with businesses wanting to reach our highly engaged, affluent audience of professionals, expats, entrepreneurs, and health-conscious individuals.

Every show in our network benefits from production support, cross-promotion, monetization opportunities, and most importantly, a collaborative community that combats the isolation of solo podcasting.

To the founding shows who believed in this vision before anyone else: thank you. You didn't just join a network. You helped build something that matters.
