Ending Megtober with a bang! Join us for our last episode in our 3 part series on fatphobia and diet culture. We talk fatphobia in Star Wars (shocker that we’re talking about Star Wars, we know), HerUniverse’s “inclusivity” that definitely doesn’t include fat people, fat representation in media, and how to be less fatphobic. Hope y’all enjoy!

Here's the list of books discussed in all three parts:

• The Body is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor

• Find Meg on all the things: @tspofnutmeg, @RoguePodron @AvatarStatePod @JellyTartsInBed

It’s still Megtober, y’all! And we still have a hell of a lot more to talk about. In this part we cover exercise, medical fatphobia, bras, eating disorders/disordered eating, & “good” fats v. “bad” fats (whatever the fuck that means). Also: FUCK THE WII FIT BOARD THAT SHIT SUCKS! THE WII FIT BOARD GAVE US TRAUMA! NINTENDO SHOULD PAY MY THERAPY BILLS!

TW: disordered eating, eating disorders, dieting, weight loss, fatphobia

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, y’all! It’s Megtober! In our quest to obtain the majority of the powers of Rogue Podron, we had Meg join us for a v long but v good conversation about fatphobia and diet culture! No but legit… We recorded for four hours… So strap yourselves in for part 1 as we discuss the history of fatphobia, mental health & fatphobia, and start to dip our toes into the bullshit that is diet culture.

APOLOGIES FOR THE AUDIO QUALITY, PARTICULARLY JESS'S AUDIO

We tried everything and *this* was honestly the BETTER than its original form. Yikes. Enjoy the show!

What’s up, cowards. Danny’s here and it’s time to talk transphobia, the importance of pronouns, and gender inclusive language. Basically, Gina Carano can meet us in the Denny’s parking lot at 3AM on a Thursday for being a transphobic asshole. Also, while we’re at it, JESS AND DANNY CAN MEET ME (ABBY) IN A SEPARATE DENNY’S PARKING LOT TO FIGHT ME FOR MAKING FUN OF MY GEOMETRY-RELATED TRAUMA.

I guess we’ll still talk about Star Wars. Join us as we wrap up our overall thoughts on the Sequel Trilogy. We bitch about TLJ. And lose our minds over the chaos that is TROS. We missed you Padre Palpy 💜

Ugh, fine we’ll talk about Star Wars. We talk our overall thoughts on the Sequel Trilogy, but we talked for way too long and had to split it into two episodes. So this one is all about TFA. Also featuring Abby losing.

Continuing our conversation about how awful the American healthcare system is, we talk about how trauma takes a toll on the physical body and how experiencing systemic racism is a Big T trauma. And just in case you thought there was easy access to care to help those chronic conditions… there’s not! cw: racial violence
