I’ve been waiting for this podcast
“Somehow people have convinced themselves that yelling at fat people from cars is less of a moral transgression than being fat.” *Chef’s kiss* I have followed Your Fat Friend’s writing for a long time and was THRILLED to see she and Michael had made a podcast. This is what I’ve been waiting for (without realizing it) - a chatty, inviting way to introduce my friends and family who love podcasts and also diet/wellness culture to some ideas that I don’t think they’ll come across on their own. Plus, I think this will help me enormously to have conversations about fatphobia and stigma - it’s great having the research, and the essays, but can be hard to synthesize that into a convincing discussion when someone comes at you with the tired counterarguments. The fact that the algorithm then recommended the Medical Medium’s podcast to me after subscribing really said it all about how the “wellness” space is lacking in this kind of honest discussion of how health and fatphobia have gotten so tangled.

Very grateful for these two smart, empathic people covering this topic. I already learned a lot from the first episode and I cannot wait to learn more with them.

I am so excited that Aubrey and Michael have teamed up. They are both brilliant and I can’t wait to learn more from them both. Yay! 2020 is finally looking up.
