  • Good discussions

    I love a podcast about fat liberation, so I’m grateful that this show exists. The amount that the hosts say “mmhmm” instead of verbalizing comments is annoying.

  • A balm

    Episode 27 was such a healing listen for me today. It's so easy to get extra hardened right now, even when we have good people to productively rage with, as I am very fortunate to have. But I'm reminded by you all in this episode to bring some softness back to my next interactions with my comrades. (I started by sharing the episode 💜). Thank you so much 🙏🏻
