“WFI made me gasp, made my heart sink, made me feel seen, and made me realize how much stronger we are as fat people when we share our stories and have these poignant conversations. Bravo and thank you to Ronald — an expert craftsman of this trade. 10 out of 10, 5 Yelp Stars, yada yada yada....”Read full review »

“1 episode in and I’m hooked. Saying all the things and combining things that have been overlooked as connection. “Bodies are inherently moralized and politicized.”
Plus outstanding audio quality and voices that are so nice in my ears.”

“This podcast is one of the most relatable and profound pieces of art I’ve listened to as a person who has been fat and waiting for my moment for most of my life. My weight has consumed me during what should have been the happiest moments of my life - and is the centre of my orbit. Being fat is my...”Read full review »
