  • The Podcast You You Should Be Binging Right Now

    If you think you’ve “heard it all” when it comes to kink, fatness, and the gaining lifestyle, Thicc Radio will immediately rewire your brain (and probably your playlists). This is the podcast that turned a once-whispered corner of the internet into a bold, award-winning celebration of bodies, desire, and unapologetic appetite.

    If you’re even mildly curious about the gaining universe, or just want a podcast that finally centers fat bodies and weight gain as the apex of desire rather than the pu... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Let's Learn About Our Bear History (w/thecaptainbara & sfbear53)
Q: So as you're thinking back on your time in San Francisco, what existed before the Bear label, and how did those precursor communities shape the Bear identity?
Pre-Bear communities like Chubs and Chasers and groups such as Girth and Mirth laid the groundwork by showing there was a cultural space for bigger, hairier men; Bear emerged as a more inclusive identity that encompassed attitude and values, not just appearance, and grew from those early networks.
Babies, Diapers and Binkies - Oh My! (w/fancy.df3)
Q: For someone curious about ABDL, what is your advice to explore safely and respectfully?
Seek out established communities and platforms, use existing resources, and start with listening; find spaces that welcome questions, set clear boundaries, and connect with people who can provide guidance and support.
Bringing Consciousness to Writing (w/thecaptainbara & noahsilverstein)
Q: What foods give you life and peace?
Great sushi, especially when abroad in Japan, and traditional Jewish comfort foods like bagels with lox and cream cheese—food that connects me to family and heritage and provides peace.
The Depths of Sacred Leather (w/lthredge)
Q: What inspired Edge to start podcasting, and what has been learned through the process?
Edge started after a breakup as a way to fill time and create engaging content for dating, and the podcast revealed a hunger for authentic, intimate community connections that go beyond explicit sex content, offering mentorship and education to a broader audience.
Drawing the Bodies You Like (w/dkmate)
Q: What kind of advice would you give for someone who wants to become or who wants to make a living as an independent niche artist?
The guest advises starting with a manageable set of social platforms, growing a following first, and only launching a Patreon when there is a clear paying audience. They emphasize being authentic, offering what you truly want to create, and preparing clear tiers and branding before starting Patreon, as well as the mental load involved in maintaining multiple platforms.
