Manage episode 339738814 series 2625030
TRIGGER WARNING: Use of the O-words
All good things must come to an end my friends. This podcast has saved me in a multitude of ways. The books I've read for the show, the people I've met have changed my life. I am a different, a better person because I did this show. I am also a more confident speaker and connector to others because I had a podcast. I just feel so grateful for the opportunity to run a show about something I love and connect to you, the listeners. I am so, so grateful you listened, subscribed and enjoyed.
But life has taken me in a different direction and so (at least for now) after episode 80 (stick around for that one!) the show will be on a break. I really do hope to come back in the new year but until then, maybe you wan't to check out my guest's podcast! Amanda Levitt is the host of a podcast called Fat Theory Book Club so not only does she read body liberation books but she also talks to readers and authors alike about the ideas in them. It is worth your time to check it out BUT FIRST (lol), check out my chat with Amanda where we talk about Fat-Talk Nation by Susan Greenhalgh. We cover:
- Amanda's journey to activism
- Baby steps for baby activists
- Why Amanda picked this book
- The research in this book and how that compares to fat liberation classic reads
- The concept of biocitizenship
- Was there a difference between the Obese and the Overweight chapters in terms of experiences and Greenhalgh's analysis
- How the War on Obesity's capitalist agenda affects Ivy League universities and their research
- Discussing the thin experience
- Have there been changes since this book?
- Some medical devices for weight loss that you've never heard of! đ€Ż
