Dorian Yates: Birmingham’s answer to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
As an aspiring bodybuilder in Birmingham, Dorian “the Shadow” Yates never thought he’d compete at the level of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lee Haney, Frank Zane and other Mr Olympia winners. That attitude soon changed with success, winning Mr Olympia six consecutive times. His is a story of confidence, determination and belief that we can all learn from for anything that we do.
Podcast FAQ.
A podcast can be one of many things. However, it’s always an audio file, either hosted online or as a digital download straight to your smartphone. Sometimes it may be a full-length radio show, condensed into just the links with little music. Other times, it’s someone sharing insight or advice, whether they’re discussing interview questions or talking to an audience directly. Often, a podcast may include an accompanying video from a webcam or full production set-up. In short, it can be like radio online, it could be a lesson, or it can be like an extended interview on any chosen subject. Whether on iTunes, Android app store or directly streamed online (see: “How can I listen to a podcast?”), the choice of podcasts available vary greatly and you’re sure to find something specifically tailored to your own interests and hobbies. With so much variety, your choice of best podcast to listen to may change from week to week!

A download may be of a full radio show, audio book, song or other form of media. You store a download on your phone to watch, read or listen to offline whenever you like. These are usually one-off. The difference between a standard download and a podcast is that you can subscribe to a podcast to have a new episode download to your phone when it’s live. Streaming is when you watch or listen to something that’s hosted online; so you need an internet connection to do this. You can listen to Escape Your Limits by streaming an episode as well. The choice is yours.
Most podcasts, such as Escape Your Limits, are available indefinitely. You’ll find the episode list when you search on your podcast app or iTunes library, or if you look at the episode guide on this website. You may wish to delete episodes off your phone once you’ve used them to save space on your internal memory. However, everything will still be available to download in future, should you wish to refer back to any podcast episode in particular.
You can subscribe to the Escape Your Limits podcast by simply searching for it in iTunes or your chosen podcast app, then click subscribe! Depending on your settings, this should then download each episode as it becomes available, ready for you to listen to at your leisure.
Escape Your Limits podcasts for Android Play are in the pipeline, but in the meantime you can still listen to every episode through the Escape Fitness episode page or on Soundcloud. There are ways to listen to the episodes on Android in apps such as Podcast Addict, but Google search to find the method that suits you best.
It’s just as easy to unsubscribe from a podcast as it is to subscribe to one. Simply find the podcast in your iTunes or app library and click unsubscribe. You will no longer be told when new episodes are available. However, you can still listen to a podcast online.
