Muscular Development Podcasts

Muscular Development has been a fixture in bodybuilding media for decades, and their podcast network was once a go-to audio source for hardcore bodybuilding coverage. The feed featured multiple shows including the MD Power Hour with Ron Harris and Giles Thomas, the Levrone Report with Kevin Levrone, MD Global Muscle, and the Ronline Report. The vibe was always straightforward -- as the show described itself, "a hard-core bodybuilding outlet" with "no fluff and no gossip." The format leaned toward panel discussions and long-form interviews with professional bodybuilders, covering contest preparation, competition analysis, and industry news. Episodes could run over two hours, giving guests room to really get into the details of their training and competitive journeys. Here's the catch: the show appears to have gone largely inactive. The most recent episode dates to mid-2023, and listeners have reported that a significant portion of the back catalog has disappeared from the feed. One reviewer from 2024 noted that "a TON of the episodes have up and disappeared," which is frustrating for longtime fans who relied on the archive. With a 4.6 rating from 26 reviews, the content that remains is still well-regarded. But the inconsistent availability means this is more of a historical reference than an active podcast at this point. If you stumble across episodes featuring Kevin Levrone or competition coverage from the MD team, they're worth a listen for the old-school perspective. Just don't expect regular new content.
