I know many people here are Arnold fans (myself included) and I just recently came across this podcast with Bill Simmons and Arnold (October, 2012).
For those of you who don't know who Simmons is, he's a sportswriter for grantland.com (usually listen to his podcasts and came across this, don't know how I missed it in the first place).
Here's the link if you want to stream it or download it:

Usually the celeb podcasts are between 20-30 minutes but this is almost 70 minutes, so has a lot of information in it.
For those who want a gist of it or don't want to listen to it, some of the main points in the podcast:
He talks about how he got started working out and how he had to work around the army.
The Pumping Iron documentary and how they worked to make it more dramatic.
His dinners with Wilt Chamberlain and Andre The Giant (pretty funny stuff)
His movie career.
His failures and successes.
He also makes an interesting correlation between the "Women's Liberation" movement in the 70s and 80s and the success of bodybuilding as a sport and a fitness movement.
It's very interesting/inspirational and highly recommended.
If you have already listened to it, what did you think of it?
