Well-researched but too inconsistent to consider this a great show

“Aubrey and Mike have great chemistry as co-hosts and I learned a lot from their early episodes which tackled specific diet-culture/weight-related topics one at a time at great depth. Their approaches to researching different topics and styles of delivery complement each other well. Areas of opportunity: 1) I’m inclined to agree with both of their stances on most topics but with that said, despite how well-researched the episodes are, I think some of their takes and conclusions would land more credibly if they gave a little bit more good-faith explanation of the opposing side. 2) My biggest beef is how inconsistent the show has become, probably since the spring. Prior to then the episodes would air on a consistent schedule, each clearly aligned to the original scope of the show (at least as I understood it - focused on weight etc.) Since then there’s been not even an episode a month (unless you’re a paid subscriber; it’s possible they announced this is going to be a subscriber-only podcast going forward and I just missed that). And the content that *has* aired over the last several months has been more focused on issues relating to trans body autonomy than to weight or diet culture. This is also an important topic but I miss the shows they did focusing on the original premise - maybe they should have two podcasts to cover both topics at the depth they deserve.”

“I thought my emotions were dead. I figured it was a combination of aging out of feelings and anxiety medication.
But this podcast.
I have loved “Your Fat Friend” for years. Her work has been IMPORTANT to me. I have loved Michael Hobbes since I found his podcast “You’re Wrong About” this year....”Read full review »
