These are the voices I long to hear. What a beautiful pod Jana has created and worked so hard on. She is so sharp, fascinating, talented, and funny. I know Jana is going to go far in her creative pursuits, and our whole society will be much the better for it.

I am a “straight sized” white CIS female and I am SO grateful to have found this podcast. It is helping to rewire the head of bad wiring I’d been issued by this society. I started with the first episode and am working my way forward. I am dreading the day that I get all caught-up and will have to...Read full review »

Everybody with a body should listen to this. It's really changed my life. They have really important conversations, but with a lens of accessibility. It's also very funny so the topics are easy to get through together.Read full review »

Jana is such a warm and personable host. All of the people she features bring highly unique and enlightening perspectives- no matter where you come from. Season 2 has definitely impressed, and Episode 1 even got a shoutout from Elizabeth Banks!!! Wooot! I think that alone speaks to the...Read full review »

This podcast has been such a breath of fresh air. It’s talking about being fat and how it intersects with everything else. It also gets real about the struggle of being fat in our world and all the BS that comes with that. Which makes being body positive so dang hard. I really enjoy Jana and...Read full review »

Since the first episode I heard, I downloded this podcast and never miss one. Jana is a very talented (and funny) host and I learn so much from her and her guests. The fact that Jana can speak from her perspective as a Native woman (she is Lakota Sioux) and a woman of size means the converstaions...Read full review »

Such a good show! It’s been a big part of helping me dismantle my own internalized fat phobia and recognize disordered eating patterns through my life, AND seek work to challenge my privilege as a white colonizer transmasculine person navigating body image in American culture. Thanks for being...Read full review »

This podcast changes lives. Okay, I’m *working* on using “I statements.” This podcast changes *my* life, each week. Jana is compassionate, insightful, and sparklingly funny. This podcast is for anyone who wants to participate in the body liberation movement. I’ve learned about resources, the...Read full review »

WoS creates such a real, safe, and truly funny space to learn and connect through stories. The fact that Janna features so many passionate voices around issues of decolonization and community building means so much to me, and I look forward to every new episode!

I recently rejected diet culture and started being neutral about my fat body. But this pod really has me really trying to find the beauty in my fatness. Claim it. I love Jana. She’s insanely funny. She adds a nice blend of humor and seriousness. I look forward to still getting through her past...Read full review »

I listen to a ton (haha) of fat podcasts, but somehow this one escaped my awareness until Caleb Luna posted about their recent interview on it. Now I’m working my way through the back catalog and enjoying every minute. The sound and production quality are top notch, Jana is funny and charming,...Read full review »

Cannot stop listening! Has expanded my mind and found so many great ideas and views outside of my normal circles. Everybody should listen.

I love this podcast so much. I have been a woman of size my whole life, and I see myself so much in Jana and all of her guests! Fat and fabulous 4 lyfe.
mollpro via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/19
This podcast is what I didn’t know I needed in my life. I’ve had a difficult time with lots of factors of my life recently, but listening to this show has reminded me of my own resilience and that by starting with reinforcing my own self worth my journey can really begin. I love this show and my...Read full review »

Jana & her guests have so much warmth and enthusiasm - not to mention a delightful range of expertise for all things fat & femme. I appreciate how she lifts BIPOC voices and passes her mic to inspiring folks with identities that intersect with their bodies in ways that matter. I’m a new...Read full review »
Hate the target cartwheel app via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/19
I lost respect as soon as I read the article where Jana Schmieding tried to claim she was fat-shamed by the staff of the Harry Potter ride at Universal. They wouldn't let her on the ride because the seat belt would fit around her. You were not kicked out, you were politely taken aside and...Read full review »

I listened to this first season every week and started to feel very uncomfortable as time went on. Not because of the incredible work Jana does to draw attention to issues facing POC and political activism, but because I started to hear an undercurrent of bitterness and whine when Jana speaks to...Read full review »

From Lindy West’s ‘shrill’ to Virgie Tovar this podcast is like a roadmap to the resources we all need to walk the road of self acceptance and love. It’s clever, fun and helpful. I wish I could have happy hour with all of these ladies and absorb their combined years of wisdom and practice!
Rejans via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/18
I have been an avid listener since day one, and this podcast just keeps getting better so I thought I should update my review. Jana hosts an incredibly thoughtful and important show about so much more than “just” woman stuff. I insisted that my man listen, but after 2 episodes he genuinely...Read full review »

This podcast is my favorite part of my week. Jana is so warm and funny and smart and so are her guests. Whenever I listen I feel like I’m in the room with them and I literally feel better about life and inspired to keep going. Listenlistenlisten. So good.

Woman of Size is so refreshing to listen to and hear new voices from women not typically chosen to stand in the spot light. Women of all sizes can and should be the main characters in our stories. Jana’s guest show how much diversity we’ve been missing out on by casting chubby ladies in the same...Read full review »

Really grateful to have this podcast! I feel like it is educational, enlightening, super funny and compassionate. Jana is a fantastic host!!

Jana is speaking to a lot of interesting and underrepresented ideas, not just about body image, but also other identity issues. And best of all, she's funny and keeps it light and entertaining.Read full review »

Makes me feel alive!
Facebird via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/18
I'm so glad I found this podcast. Jana is very relatable and the conversations with her guests are intelligent and insightful. So many of the "bodpos" (for lack of a better label) focus a lot of time on fashion, gender politics and "Riverdale." Ok, i'm overgeneralizing...Read full review »
DeannaBA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/18
I really enjoy listening to Jana. She is funny and insightful. I listen to a few different fat girl podcasts and Jana stands out in her interview style and coverage of so many different intersections. I find myself learning a lot. Thanks!

I love WOS! Janna is very funny and has some great stuff to talk about! I love each episode. Give it a listen to!

I love the discussions on this podcast and it makes me laugh a lot. As a woman of size, I really love that someone is owning it and bringing these important issues to light in a way that is inclusive and insightful. My only complaint is the sound quality is pretty bad. A better mic, pop screen,...Read full review »

Just. Listen.
UmmmmNo... via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/18
Jana and her guests inform, illuminate, entertain and amplify their perspectives about their bodies, their ideas, professions, and cultural and societal norms for women through their personal experiences. It’s honest, funny and fresh! I love it so much!

This podcast is fun to listen to and is a refreshing reflection on women of size :-)

Honestly all around wonderful podcast. It keeps all women in mind when tackling intricate and underrated issues. This kind of platform fills a need for women who are often not discussed in society or in the podcast world. The intersectional approach Jana uses allows her guests to show up, with...Read full review »

Woman of Size is full of so many moments of Laugh Out Loud hilarity, featuring fascinating topics and guests. Each episode is like a powerful dose of compassion for myself and for others who also have to live in bodies on this planet. I'm OBSESSED and can't wait for the next episode!Read full review »
