Show overview

Starting Strength Radio has been publishing since 2017, and across the 9 years since has built a catalogue of 503 episodes. That works out to roughly 550 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 55 min and 1h 24m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Health & Fitness show.

The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed 1 weeks ago, with 10 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2022, with 91 episodes published.
