More Than Tracy Turnblad

It's fall so obviously it's time for you to hear the Gilmore Girls episode! First, Abby begs for podcast reviews and chats about life updates, A League of Their Own, fall, and being in her romcom era. Then you'll hear our formerly Patreon exclusive episode on all the fat representation and fatphobia in Gilmore Girls, featuring Abby's little sister Layla (with whom she has been watching Gilmore Girls since they were both too young to understand what Lorelai and Christopher did on that balcony).

We're back with an update on the podcast! Abby and Maya sit down to chat about the future of the podcast and how we'll be doing more episodes together on the main feed on specific fat media and other topics in addition to Abby's interviews. Then film analyst and fellow podcaster BJ Colangelo comes on to discuss the play version of the upcoming film The Whale starring Brendan Fraser. This is the longest episode of all time, which feels right after our summer hiatus <3 if you have any thoughts on The Whale or episode requests, please reach out on social media or email [email protected]!

We've made it to the final episode before informal Edinburgh Fringe hiatus! Abby vents about the fatsuits in the recent Elvis and Batman movies, and then chats with theatre journalist Meg Masseron about Beanie Feldstein's unceremonious departure from Funny Girl. Meg and Abby also discuss loving love, cyberbullying, being sexually obsessed with The Phantom of the Opera, and of course L*a M*ch*le.

Then she is joined by Ross Wade for a frank discussion about being a man with an eating disorder, preferring a fat partner, and writing for children's animated TV shows. Apologies for the dog sounds in the background, but we promise to post a pic of Ross's adorable Morky on Instagram!
