Love everything about this podcast: Sophia’s guests, her politics, the poems she chooses, and most especially, her voice and laugh are the best!
this podcast is pure warmth and kindness. I really appreciate how the conversations flow so easily and the topics are shared in a down to earth way (as opposed to academic).
This is a lovely, enlightening, mind-broadening podcast about fat joy and liberation. Real, deep topics with a light touch. Highly recommend to fat people wanting community and straight-sized people wanting to be allies.
one of the voices that feeds actual logic to our diet-culture-corrupted brains. thank you, sophia for your poems, ease, and resistance, and for always bringing it back to joy. 💗
For every version of me that tried to be thin, for every diet and fad and cleanse I did to try and claim my inner thinness, this podcast helps throw that in the garbage and claim the amazing version of me that just wants to take up space.
