  • Being queer and fat can feel very lonely, and this podcast has become a real tool to combat that isolation. I love all the hosts and like to hear the news specifically geared towards my community. they are consistently funny and likeable, full of joy, and offer considerate and thoughtful perspectives on a variety of topics. The resource page on their website is a phenomenal tool as well, and I use it or link people to it like once every other month.

  • Still Five Stars

    Wonderful production values, engaging hosts, and some good info. Comes across as elitist more than I would like but that could just be the Hollywood/LA attitude showing itself. The hosts are sincere in their desire to inform and entertain and do it well. A great listen for fat gay guys and those who adore them.
