Brigid was headed on vacation, she strapped into her seat prepared for what should have been an uneventful flight.  But then she got a lot more than she bargained for.  In this episode host Ronald Young Jr. examines the state of flying as a fat person with special guest Aubrey Gordon.

Special Thanks to Brigid Quinn McDonnell, Aubrey Gordon, Hannah Sampson, Andrea Sachs, Diyana Howell and the rest of the kind folks at the Washington Post.
