🎙️ What’s This Episode About?

Alabama Whirley is a fat-positive burlesque dancer, cabaret producer, and walking middle finger to society’s obsession with shrinking.

Alabama joins John to talk about performing with power, living visibly in a body-conscious world, and challenging stigma, both on stage and off. They explore the language we use around bodies, how it shapes our confidence (or chips away at it), and what it means to be both fat and fearless in spaces that often try to make you feel like you don’t belong.

They also dig into the politics of performance, the rise of fat cabaret, and why representation isn’t enough if it’s not real.

It’s bold, body-literate, and set in joy, not just defiance.
