    Chapter Four: Demoralizing Fatness
    Mar 2 2026

    In this episode, we read, analyze, and chat about how society inaccurately conflates morality and fatness. Kate presents some problems with this comparison and the implications for people of varying body size and shape. We reflect on some current events / issues, media representations, the role of capitalism and... the patriarchy. Ew.

    Chapter Three: Venus in Retrograde
    Nov 19 2025

    This chapter delves into some of the history about body image and digs into where and when "fatness fell out of favour". There is some historical information and modern statistics and research. Kate's candid discussion of fatphobia's roots in racism is sobering.

    Take a deep breath, babes. This is a tough one.

    Chapter Two: Shrinking Costs
    Oct 30 2025

    In this heavy research and scientific study chapter, Kate tackles some of the health related panics caused by fatphobia, internalized and otherwise. We share and comment on some of the studies and make observations about the systemic nature of fatphobia and the damage it does. Jen waxes poetic with her beautiful words and Elaina talks about 50 Cent (again). More importantly, to our listeners, we hope this episode helps begin (or continue) the shift in the way you perceive yourself and your body.
