show notes:

It’s season 2 episode 11 of Matter of Fat: a body positive podcast with Midwest sensibilities! Co-hosts Cat Polivoda and Saraya Boghani highlight community voices with a focus on body size, body positivity, & fat liberation.

We’re going back for seconds and thirds in the Fat Dish with reminders of dishes we’ve brought to pass before! These events include: Cake Plus-Size Resale’s 2nd birthday on Oct 5, Flyover Fest presents Lindy West and Samantha Irby on Oct 12, and we’re going to WNYC’s Werk It Podcasting Festival. Cat and Saraya also share some joint personal dish about seeing Hustlers and Pink Sweat$.

This episode, Cat and Saraya talked with Ryan Kroening a queer, gender queer accidental entrepreneur, social justice warrior, musician and performer. We hear all about Ryan’s life as a matter of fat, chat about style, learn about his business Events by Lady K, and chat universal design for events that meet everyone’s needs.

In the Dirt and Discourse, Cat and Saraya have lots of thoughts about James Corden’s response to Fat Shaming from fellow comedian Bill Maher.
