“Omg this is such an awesome podcast. After listening to the Richard Simmons two parter I had to start from the beginning of this pod and binge it! And as a woman approaching 60 and a past disordered eater and body dysmorphic these episodes are like the story of my life. I just love you two!”

“Aubrey and Michael are rays of sunlight making this world brighter by illuminating truth. This podcast has given me so much information about the lies I’ve been told my whole life. They tell the truth about how the world treats fat people, how systems make it worse and about how being thin is...”Read full review »

“I look forward to listening to Aubrey and Mike every month! They have given me a new and much needed perspective on diet culture and fat phobia, and I always learn and laugh along with them. This is the best podcast.”

“The sugar episode was done purely, with selective sources, and emotionally based on the host mom’s weight issues experience. As a parent for two kids with ADHD, I’m well experienced with sugar effects on my kids behaviour. Our body needs way less sugar than what the average American consume, so...”Read full review »

These two are so fun, thoughtful, and adept at wielding their journalistic research skills to undermine some of the most toxic preconceptions of our...”Read full review »

“I love this show, Aubrey is so kind and empathetic and I’ve been a fan of Michael’s work for a while.
It’s funny and engaging, emotionally impactful, and the editing kind of ruins other podcasts for me it’s so good.”

“I love both hosts. It doesn’t really bother me when they do episodes about calories and/or exercise and say that those are not really important (I think they are.) What bothers me is the constant talk of fat shaming. Fat shaming ABSOLUTELY exists, but when they talk about it constantly and...”Read full review »

“It was one of my favorites! Maybe one needs to be a gen-xer to appreciate this back door look into Ed. I even bought a tattered hardback of Martinis and Whipped Cream: The Carbo-Cal Way to Lose Weight and Stay Slim on Amazon.This era of crack-pot diets is my favorite.”

“I wish I could give it a 3.5… I’ll echo many other reviews on saying that the pod had a strong start but has gone a bit off the rails. There’s a decent amount of bias, and the hosts will often say “we don’t care if YOU do xyz” but… it’s pretty clear they do. The show makes amazing points and...”Read full review »

“What's up with the unsupported suggestion of the right wingedness of Pete Evans ? I don't even like him (mostly cause he's just annoying) but do you equate being anti-facist and anarchist as libertarian and therefore right wing? Very establishment-liberal take. (Aka true centrist)”Read full review »
