A Platform Built on Real Conversations
This isn’t a new microphone. It’s a continuation.
Long before podcasting became mainstream, Dave hosted in-depth conversations with the coaches, athletes, and thinkers who helped shape modern strength and fitness culture. The Dave DePew Show continues the legacy originally started by Dave DePew’s Fitness & Nutrition Radio in 2003 — bringing the next generation of conversations forward.
