A special guest episode with my sister Krista Olsen in which we explore the Netflix doc: Fit for TV - the reality of the biggest loser. We examine this show from our current vantage point - what it tells us about the cultural narrative about weight and weight loss that we were in at that time (2004 - 2016).

We get into the weeds on our personal impact and speculate the broader impact; In what ways was this show harmful and in what ways was it helpful?
