The Bodybuilding.com Podcast

The Bodybuilding.com Podcast is the audio extension of the internet's most recognized fitness brand. Hosted by Nick Collias, Heather Eastman, and Krissy Kendall (who holds a PhD in exercise science), the show brings the same broad approach to fitness content that made the website a household name. The tagline -- "Build your body, build your mind, build your life" -- sets the scope: this isn't purely a bodybuilding show, though muscle-building sits at its core. The format is a mix of quick educational segments (some as short as a few minutes covering supplement science or training tips) and longer interview episodes running 45 minutes or more with coaches, athletes, and fitness professionals. Topics span creatine supplementation, stretching protocols, EAAs versus BCAAs, and foundational strength training principles. Krissy's academic background adds credibility when episodes get into the weeds on ingredient research. With 176 episodes and a 4.5 rating from 173 reviews, the show has a decent track record. The update schedule has slowed to roughly monthly, with the most recent episode dropping in April 2025 on barefoot training. Some listeners have noted that background music can be distracting, and the tone occasionally feels more casual than polished. This is a solid pick for intermediate lifters who want accessible, well-researched content from a trusted brand. It's not going to satisfy hardcore competitive bodybuilders, but for the general gym population interested in building muscle and understanding the basics of sports nutrition, it covers the fundamentals well.
