Season 4 Finale: The Bests
The Fat Dish episode image cover: Saraya and Cat are pictured from the waist up. Saraya wears headphones. Cat has a microphone in front of her. They are in black and white. Behind them is a split color lime and orange background. Toward the bottom, the Matter of Fat logo sits on a white rectangle. On the other side of the rectangle “the bests!” is written in blue text.
show notes:
Another end to another season and, ope, it’s a long one! Our co-hosts Cat and Saraya take some time to reflect on 2021 as best they can. They chat about some of the fabulous guests they got to know, favorite topics, and the best things ranging from memes to dirt and discourse. If you enjoy a chatty episode with lots of laughing, then this will be a good one for you. Also, some big podcast news was shared for season 5!
Thanks for listening and reading! We’ll be less regular on social media for a bit but would still love to see you in our Friends + Fans Facebook Group and on Instagram!
Even in the offseason, we’d love and appreciate reviews in apple podcasts, FAT CASH funds, and any/all shoutouts on social media! See you next year. . . or, maybe even a little sooner! ;)
