News & Politics
Shakesville's Melissa McEwan joins the show to talk about fat hatred and fat shaming, and her own journey to loving and accepting her fat body -- and allowing herself to feel the breeze. For the homework section, we're talking to fat and not-fat folks alike. Melissa talks about how to shut down diet talk and body negativity, offers some essential reading from fat activists, and recommends a film comedy with big laughs that aren't at the expense of the fat woman at the center of the plot.
