  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Welcome to Season 6! (w/thecaptainbara)
Q: What are some things you want to see happen for Season 6 of the show?
We want to return to exclusive content like longer discussions, bring back beloved formats such as Chonky Chats, and travel to events to represent Thicc Radio in person, including hosting panels with diverse guests.
Trans Fat: Crème de la Femme (w/addiction_to_chewing)
Q: What is one thing you wish cisgender people understood about your trans gainer experience?
Addi emphasizes that many trans narratives in media are medicalized and political, and that many trans people do not pursue or desire surgeries or perfect transitioning, urging a broader understanding of diverse paths.
Trans Fat: Crème de la Femme (w/addiction_to_chewing)
Q: Did your trans identity and your connection to gaining develop separately, or did they emerge alongside one another?
Addi describes gaining as the initial pull, with trans identity developing later, and notes the intertwined evolution of both as she navigated personal identity and sexual expression.
Better Late Than? Mpregnant! (w/hungry.hungryhimbo & mpregonthebrain)
Q: Do Mpreg or female-presenting pregnancy fantasies overlap with other kink communities, or do they stand apart?
There is significant overlap around the belly and nurturing aspects, but Mpreg can be distinct in its emphasis on pregnancy itself rather than weight gain alone. People can be into both, but Mpreg often focuses on the concept of pregnancy, the act of implanting seed, and the idea of a living being inside you, which can take the fantasy in a different direction than standard gainier content.
Better Late Than? Mpregnant! (w/hungry.hungryhimbo & mpregonthebrain)
Q: For people who haven't heard of Mpreg before, how would you explain it and where does it sit in relation to gaining and other belly-adjacent kinks?
Mpreg is male pregnancy, where a cis man becomes pregnant through various mechanisms (natural, magical, alien, etc.). Its relation to gaining centers on the belly as a transforming, dominant feature, with Mpreg often adding a masculine/feminine dynamic and a sense of swagger or vulnerability that can coexist with or diverge from traditional gaining aesthetics.
