Fat Chicks on Top

Guest: Lamya H (writer, activist)

Lamya H chronicles their journey to living fully as a nonbinary, queer, hijabi in the book Hijab Butch Blues. Their work employs stories from the Koran and how Lamya interprets these stories to amplify their own journey into full personhood. We chat queerness, Islam, gender, hijab, religion, place and so much more!

Their memoir has been billed as one of the best LGBTQ+ books of 2023 by multiple literary associations and is a stunning example of how memoir can be used to toggle between the deeply personal and the universal.

Guest: Ragen Chastain (blogger, author, podcaster)

Ragan Chastian began debunking weight loss "science" in 2009. She originally just wanted to find the most effective diet for weight loss. What she found was over a centruy of bad research. It was so bad, she did her search a second time to verify she hadn't missed anything.

What she discovered is that most "weight loss" research limits its time period to less than two years. When participants began to regain weight, research simply stops and reports what happened in the first year. She discusses how current astroturf organizations (fake grass roots groups) continue to promote bunk science to further their profits.

We also chat about how the weight lost industry has co-opted the language of body liberationists to promote weight stigma and continue to get folks to risk their lives to be thin.
