Sworn
iHeartPodcasts and Tenderfoot TV
Show overview
Sworn has been publishing since 2017, and across the 3 years since has built a catalogue of 32 episodes, alongside 5 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 20 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 31 min and 45 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language True Crime show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 5.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 17 episodes published. Published by iHeartPodcasts and Tenderfoot TV.
From the publisher
From the producers of Up and Vanished, Sworn pulls back the curtain on the criminal justice system, exposing the untold stories and hard truths behind major cases. Host Philip Holloway, a defense attorney and former prosecutor with a background in law enforcement, not only digs into the legal aspects of these cases but the emotional consequences of their outcomes.
