Say hello to Swell, a new personalized app for News and Talk radio listening on your smartphone that has already lined up a pretty impressive roster of partners. TechCrunch.com’s Anthony Ha describes Swell as a Pandora-like experience for spoken-word, in which users simply “open the app, hit play and interesting content immediately starts streaming.” Partners already involved include NPR, American Public Media and ABC News, along with podcasts from the BBC, CBC, Comedy Central, TED Talks and others.
