Wanderlust Swingers, formerly known as Swinging Downunder, is one of the most enduring swinging podcasts in English. Hosted by Australian couple Cate and Darrell, the show has been running long enough to have accumulated over 350 episodes and reflects the evolution of both the global swinging community and the hosts' own participation in it over many years.
What the show covers
The content spans swinging in its various forms: couple dating, hotwifing, soft swap, full swap, club nights, lifestyle travel, and the relationship dynamics that sit underneath all of it. Cate and Darrell speak from personal experience rather than from a coaching or educational framework, which gives the show a different texture from the more programmatic non-monogamy podcasts on this list.
The show's rebranding from "Swinging Downunder" to "Wanderlust Swingers" reflected the hosts' move toward a more international perspective, and the back-catalogue covers lifestyle events and communities across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the US.
Longevity and credibility
Over 350 episodes is a significant achievement in a niche that sees many shows start and stall. The show's longevity reflects both a consistent audience and hosts who have remained genuinely engaged with the lifestyle rather than producing content from a remove. For listeners who want a long back-catalogue to explore, Wanderlust Swingers is one of the best-stocked options available.
The show is not UK or European in origin, but the global scope of the content and the accessible quality of the format make it useful for listeners anywhere. Australian hosting means the perspective on US-centric lifestyle culture is sometimes refreshingly different.
Who it's for
People already in or actively exploring the swinging lifestyle. The show assumes familiarity with the lifestyle and doesn't function as an introduction to non-monogamy broadly. The large episode archive rewards longer-term listeners who want depth across a wide range of lifestyle topics.
