show notes:

Welcome to episode 6 in the 2nd season 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.

In the Fat Dish, S talks about embodying “Hot Girl Summer” both in attitude and well… temperature. This summer is hot and, as good midwesterners, both ladies lay it on thick with the weather talk. Fortunately, Friends and Fans provided some good tips and tricks for staying cool in this heat. C shared more about her marvelous road trip travels and exuding Chill Girl Summer. S waxed poetic about spending summer weekends outside with friends (surprise surprise). She may have taken up the hobby of sleepwalking or has a casper in her home - not the mattress.

ALSO! At the time of episode release, KFAI is amping up to the summer 2019 pledge drive. KFAI is a volunteer-based community radio station that exists to broadcast information, arts and entertainment programming for an audience of diverse racial, social and economic backgrounds.

They’re here to help provide a voice for people ignored or misrepresented by mainstream media! Folks in larger bodies are constantly ignored or misrepresented by mainstream media and our little podcast at this little community radio station is a way of pushing back.

Contribute to KFAI to support this mission - for us and everyone misrepresented or underrepresented in media. You can donate at KFAI.org. Be sure to write in “Matter of Fat” when you select the program!

The guest this episode is the marvelous Midwest artist Erin Sandsmark. Erin talks about her growth as an artist, shares thoughts on nakedness and fatness, encourages us to support local artists at every level, and so much more.

The Dirt and Discourse is so much and so little at the same time! The ladies attempt to talk about complexities of who belongs to fat liberation, body positivity/body neutrality, and how to leverage your place in that to make positive change for everybody.

Thanks for listening and reading! Make sure to rate, review, and engage with the MoF hosts further through the Friends and Fans Facebook group. Thanks to KFAI!
