    203: NYT "Confessions of a Former Body Positivity Influencer": What It Gets Wrong
    Mar 24 2026

    A recent opinion video from The New York Times titled "Confessions of a Former Body Positivity Influencer" claims to expose the dangers of the body positivity movement. But does it actually represent what body positivity (and fat liberation) have historically stood for? Short answer: nope. In this episode, we watch the video in real time and break down the misinformation and subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways anti-fatness is repackaged as just "caring about your health."
    TW: anti-fat beliefs.

    200: Ozempic/Wegovy (GLP 1s) - Where Are We Now? (Part 2)
    Aug 13 2025

    It's part 2 of the GLP 1 deep dive! In this episode, we are covering "food noise," the weird things that people are reporting happening to their bodies on GLP-1s, horrid stuff that's happening in the UK, lawsuits, safety planning for those taking the drugs, and whether taking GLPs goes against fat liberation. TW: for British anti-fatness, side effects, and mental health.

    199: Ozempic/Wegovy (GLP 1s) - Where Are We Now? (Part 1)
    Aug 8 2025

    Wegovy, (often referred to as Ozempic) was approved by the FDA in June 2021. Now that we have lived 4 years of a GLP frenzied hellscape, there must be new data on how well GLP1's work and how many lives they have saved. The numbers must be pretty impressive right? Hint: It's not impressive…not at all. Join me for part one of this deep dive into these (not so) new weight loss drugs where I share exactly how much weight people lose, if it improves their health (or worsens it), and all sorts of other nonsense that has been happening in the ensuing years after the press heralded Wegovy as a "game changer" that will "end" fatness. TW: for mentions of weight, mentions of children taking the drug and other general anti-fat ideas.

    198: The Ultimate Harm: Fat in Healthcare
    Jun 9 2025

    Some people think that anti-fat bias is just about flippant comments, hurt feelings and harmless jokes. What many don't realize is that anti-fat bias can be deadly. Today, we are joined by Sarah and Tam, who are sharing their stories. Sarah talks about her terminal cancer diagnosis and the symptoms which were ignored by doctors for 2 years. Tam shares the story of her husband, James, father of 2 children, who died aged 37. Huge trigger warning for this episode as we are talking about death, witnessing death, medical harm and egregious anti-fatness.

    197: Liberals Love Fat Shaming People They Don't Like
    May 6 2025

    Have you seen the JD Vance memes that have been circulating the internet? In them, the meme creators have increased his body size to make him look fat and then laugh at the idea of him being fat. That's the joke. So hilarious (/s). JD Vance who is a horrible human, is being critiqued because of his appearance. This is a common theme in left-leaning circles - if someone is awful, then a great way to humiliate them is to focus on what they look like. Does this mean that "anti-fat bias is the last socially acceptable form of discrimination," or is something else going on?

    196: Fat Monica and Other Fat Tropes in Media
    Feb 20 2025

    What have we learned about who fat people are from the media we consume? What are the common stereotypes we see again and again? In this episode, I answer those questions and analyse different examples of fat media including the dreaded Fat Monica from Friends. If you can, watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience! But I do also audio describe what we are watching :) TW: anti-fat tropes.
