You may know Cara MacB (they/them) for their videos on social media of a call centre operator fielding complaint calls from fatphobic people. Cara’s content is brilliant, hilarious, and one of the ways that they try to change people’s beliefs that fat is bad. In this episode, Cara shares how they dismantled their own fatphobia, discovered that they could use their inner class clown for good, and how lazy it is to use marginalized identities as the butt of jokes.

Cara MacB is non-binary, queer. They bring an anti-diet approach to fat positive content creation & comedy. Their super viral Overweight Bitches Content Creators Helpline sketches have made them a leading voice in the UK anti-diet online world.
