While we took a few weeks off because of HomeGymCon, the podcast which we have been doing for about 1.5 years continues to grow and we’ve accumulated many loyal fans!
We plan on doing a better job of getting these weekly updates online through the blog, and we’ll start with episode #170.
You can find this episode on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
