Swing State - Coming Soon!

October 20, 2026 · 2 min

Show notes

Beyond the old myths of keys in a bowl and pampas grass lies a quiet but strong subculture operating right across Ireland.

Swing State is a new five-part investigative podcast series that takes an unvarnished look inside the country's swinging and alternative dating scene.

The series combines real-life stories, event insider perspectives, and a week-long app experiment that yielded 387 messages in just seven days. Over five episodes, we examine how people first find their way in, what the nights and systems actually look like on the scene, what this does to relationships, where it starts to go wrong, and what remains when someone decides to walk away.

Grounded, candid, and non-judgmental, Swing State cuts through the noise to deliver an honest look at Swing culture in Ireland today.

Episode one is out Tuesday the 27th of October!
