Episode description

To celebrate the release of Gina's memoir Greedy Guts, this episode hosts Ione and Gina get to grips with the current state of fat liberation. Is body positivity too commodified to be salvageable? Are people scared of fatness due to lingering Covid scaremongering resentment? Will GLP-1 injections end fat existence entirely?


Join Ione and Gina as they reckon with what it means to be fat in what is potentially the most fatphobic time to be alive in history.
