Starting Strength Radio

Mark Rippetoe

Booking Overview

A primarily solo expert show focused on strength training, fitness, health, and topics of personal interest to its host, with occasional external guests such as economists and film professionals. Agencies could credibly pitch strength coaches, sports scientists, health experts, economists, and action-film professionals with strong subject expertise; booking difficulty is likely low to medium because guest appearances are selective but do not appear limited to high-profile celebrities.
