The Fat Dish
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 blue and periwinkle background. Toward the bottom, the Matter of Fat logo sits on a white rectangle. On the other side of the rectangle “the fat dish” is written in blue text.
show notes:
Matter of Fat is 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.
Season 4 kicks off with The Fat Dish! Historically, this part of Matter of Fat has acted as a way to highlight community events, then it shifted into the co-hosts dishing about what is going on in their lives. Now, it has grown into its own stand alone episode.This new format allows for Cat and Saraya to provide some great takes on politics, culture, and their personal lives in a comfortingly chatty way. Much like a hot dish, this episode is meant to be shared with friends and neighbors!
Don’t fret! The usual interview-focused episodes will be offered every other episode and the gals have got some great people lined up for season 4. In this episode, Saraya teases about a fire playlist newsletter curated by the MoF team (available to those signed up for the newsletter), both hosts share BTS info about podcast production and the wonderful assistants (Erin, Lindsay, and Sophie), and announce the brand new way to show MoF some love through Fat Cash!
Personally, Cat and Saraya reflect on pandemic life, baby bubbles, business ebbs and flows, therapy, closet recording, memoirs, and share some hot, fat takes about white women who shall not be named and fat fashion faux pas.
Thanks for listening and reading! We’d love a rate or a share on your social media. Like, how is Saraya still surprised that people communicate through social media?
