Burnt Toast is your body liberation community. We're working to dismantle diet culture and anti-fat bias, and we have a lot of strong opinions about comfy pants. Co-hosted by Virginia Sole-Smith (NYT-bestselling author of FAT TALK) and Corinne Fay (author of the popular plus size fashion newsletter Big Undies).

I have been a long time listener and used Fat Talk to help inform some of the health education curriculum I used to develop and teach.

Recently I listened to the “is menopause a diet?” And really appreciated it.

Thanks for being much needed support in my anti-diet journey. I need Virginia and Corinne’s voices countering the many, harmful messages coming at me from so many other directions. I am not a parent, but I benefit from some of the parenting info by recognizing how I was raised by a mom who was engulfed by 80s diet culture.
One of my very favorite podcasts! I love hearing guests speak on topics from physical movement to parenting to disability. I get exposed to new and different perspectives which I really appreciate. I also love listening to Virginia and Corinne talk about fashion, diet culture, dating, lifting weights… I’d probably listen to them talk about anything. Thanks for making this delightful and informative show.
I’ve loved following this podcast over the years! I always learn so much and love the personality. It’s taken many forms and directions, and guess what? Always a winner!
Love this podcast- great anti-diet content :)
