Welcome to Slim Fast Kids, the podcast where we unpack the diet culture circus that raised us — one decade at a time. In this debut episode, we’re heading back to the 1980s, the era of spandex leotards, moms power-walking with Jane Fonda tapes, and refrigerators stocked with Diet Coke like it was holy water.

This was the decade where diet culture really strapped on its leg warmers and hit the treadmill. With more moms entering the workforce, TV booming, and glossy magazines screaming “thin is in,” kids of the ’80s were basically set up for a lifetime subscription to body shame. We’ll break down the neon-lit nonsense, the “miracle” products, and the pop-culture moments that taught a whole generation that calories were evil and cottage cheese was a meal.

Funny, biting, and just a little tragic — this is the start of the diet drama that shaped the rest of us.

This week’s mash-up gets real and a little spicy: A Black man in Philadelphia goes viral after stopping to help a cop with a broken-down car, we dive into the age-old question—what actually counts as snitching?—and we step into dangerous territory: is Rihanna better than Beyoncé? 👀 Politics, culture, and unapologetic opinions, all in one show.

This week’s mash-up is a wild ride: Trump tightens his grip on Washington by yanking Union Station away from Amtrak, we break down the Top 10 Worst Rap Lyrics of All Time (prepare to cringe), and we settle the burning question—are coffee dates actually cool or just lazy? Politics, culture, and caffeine—all in one messy, hilarious package.

In the season finale of We Vote Too, host Leise Winny steps up to the mic—solo—to unpack the chaotic, confusing, and critically urgent state of democracy in 2025.

This isn’t just a recap. It’s a reality check.

From voter suppression laws and court power grabs to gerrymandering and rising public distrust, we break down exactly what’s happening, where democracy stands, and how we move forward. With real-world examples, court wins, and tools for action, this episode is part explainer, part pep talk, and part rallying cry.

If you’ve been feeling like democracy is dying in broad daylight, you’re not alone. But you’re not powerless either.

From critiquing philanthropy to unpacking performative travel activism, she helps us reimagine what it means to live our values—even when the system feels stuck.

Young voters are the largest, most diverse voting bloc in the country, but they’re also the most disillusioned. In this episode, we dig into the gap between political power and political participation among Gen Z and Millennial voters. Why do so many young people feel like voting doesn’t matter? What’s fueling their dissatisfaction, and what motivates them to show up?

We break down the numbers, bust the myths, and spotlight the organizers, campaigns, and conversations that are shifting the narrative. From TikTok to town halls, this episode is a crash course in how to reach future voters where they are, and why their voices are essential to the future of democracy.
