UNpodcast 157: UNphilosophical (Tausha Ostrander) - Finding Our Hunger

“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others.  Unfold your own myth.” – Rumi

This week’s guest is Tausha Ostrander, producer of this year’s Dangerous Curves Plus Size Pole Dance competition.

In this episode we discuss:

* Everything you want to know about plus size pole dance and Dangerous Curves

* Why the world doesn’t end when you show skin as a plus size dancer

* Why we need to move past “beauty” as a way to measure worth

* Reappropriating the male gaze and celebrating ourselves with pole dance
