  • Mike lays out the truth

    Mike Catherwood is a lot of things to a lot of people, but here he is your friend and mentor and profit in the desert.

  • #Mikey Likes You

    I have primarily tuned in to the Mikey Likes You podcast for the great fitness and health advise. Mike is a professional interviewer and love listening to him talk.

    I love the new format and jumping into your personal struggle with addiction, music and MMA. I have picked up some new music to listen to.

  • Love Catherwood and love this podcast

    I’ve lifted weights as part of my routine over the years but I’m not an experienced lifter, but this podcast is very easy to follow and helpful. You can tell Mike genuinely wants to help his listeners. He’s motivating and funny and everything I need from this kind of podcast.

    I’m a fan from his stints on The Jason Ellis show and I enjoy him on his own as well!
