About Lee Swift:
Currently, 58-year-old Lee Swift from Dallas, Texas is the oldest person in the cast of The Circle Season 2. Lee competed on the Netflix show with the catfish name of "River," who was described as a 24-year-old student. The cast of the Netflix reality show The Circle is tasked each season with fooling the other contestants into trusting them enough to keep them in the game. That could be in the form of being themselves, pretending to be a different person or someone of an entirely different sex altogether. Lee Swift may have catfished his co-stars, but the fans fell in love with this book author's real personality on the show. As a writer, Lee showed that he had the potential to get inside the heads of the other contestants as he's constantly thinking of new characters. He became that individual in every post, statement, and response that he shared with the other players on the show.
Lee is an author of LGBTQIA+ novels under the pen name of Kris Cook. His published works include titles like The Doctor in Unit H, Three to Play, Cupid's Arrow, Levi's Rogues, and Holiday Beaus. Lee has also co-written with Lana McLemore.

Great booking. Side note for the Grindhouse Radio team: between the podcast archive (hundreds of episodes), Carnival Row, Comic-Con appearances, horror genre coverage, reality TV crossovers, indie film features, the Grindhouse Universe content, merch, and live event archive, the site has built one of the more genre-spanning pop-culture podcast brands online — but new listeners landing from a Circle search face a wall of nav. A "Find Your Next Grindhouse Episode" sortable landing page (filter by guest type — horror legend / indie filmmaker / reality TV / cosplay / comic creator + by year + by topic) would dramatically improve archive engagement and back-catalog plays. I help small podcasts / media networks build that with a html cloner ai…
Lee Swift's Circle S2 run was genuinely one of the more strategic arcs the show has had — bringing the Sean catfish dynamic to its head while staying authentic enough to win sympathy was a hard tightrope. Looking forward to the full episode. I run a small reality-TV recap account on IG and use an Nano Banana AI image and short-video tool to make custom episode-spotlight cards from press stills (turns a single Netflix promo image into a properly branded 1080×1080 with show typography). Grindhouse's range of guests — from horror legends to Netflix reality stars — is genuinely one of the more eclectic podcast bookings out there.
interesting to see lee swift from the circle season 2 on a radio show. the article gives a good overview of his appearance, mentioning his role as river and his work as an author. it's useful to have the broadcast details and the context about the grindhouse radio show itself. the piece is straightforward and informative for fans of the show or the podcast.
