“Easily one of the best, if not the best, “Muscle” related podcasts out there on the Webs. But since it was the first ever fitness related podcasts ever put out, that’s to be expected I guess. Tons of great info put out by Eric Trexler and his temporary (?) guest host Greg Nuckols. You can clearly...”Read full review »

“You all are great. I started a month ago with your first episode and slowly working towards the present. I love your sarcasm not to mention the sarcasm you use when people write bad reviews. Also, your research reviews are awesome”

“Geez, the first episode I listen to is some self pity rant for the first 15 min of the show. Get over it. Your listeners have been doing multiple jobs and are stressed too. I looked at the reviews and thought what am I getting into? I scanned the episodes and they look REALLY interesting but 2...”Read full review »

“I used to look forward to each episode, but you completely lost me with a six-hour episode on aspartame. Seriously, who, other than a nutrition PhD, wants to listen to someone talk about aspartame for six hours?
And then there was the one where you spent about 30 minutes talking about bear week....”Read full review »

“I’ve been a listener since the podcast original launched years ago (I think I listened to every single episode) but I can’t really listen anymore since Eric was replaced with Greg’s wife. No disrespect to her. I know Eric moved on to other things but I’d have preferred someone else to replace him.”

“Hey all, I love the content you share on your podcast, and I love that you dive so deeply into the material, but I feel confident that you are serving waaaaaay less people than you could. The incredibly long podcast is made all the longer with all the digressions, and meandering you do. It’s just...”Read full review »

“I love the website and articles over there, so I really thought I’d enjoy this podcast. However, each episode is multiple hours long and for the first 30-40 minutes it was just mindless chit-chat. Nobody cares what you have to say here, get straight to the point! Make each episode shorter, and...”Read full review »

“I love their sense of humor and intelligence!

As a scientist, I appreciate their rigorous, evidence-based approach and...”Read full review »

“I think it’s hilarious people (esp pro-union people?) think the union thing is real. It’s almost funnier than the satire itself. It reinforces my opinion that many in the fitness industry take themselves way too seriously, need a hobby, and also maybe more union protection so they can relax more?...”Read full review »

“Science is hard. There’s a lot of crap out there and these 2 help make it easier to understand and digest.
They bring up ways to think and approach fitness instead taking it all as fact.
They’re wonderfully honest and themselves all the way through. Keep doing what your friend friends.”
