Ben, Big Qs, + GD Fat Suits

Podcast cover image: Ben Voas seits on a log while looking at the camera. Greenery surrounds him. The logo and “Ben” are centered toward the bottom of the graphic.

show notes:

This episode features co-hosts Cat and Saraya in conversation with Ben about fat liberation, gender identity, and seeking joy for yourself and others. Of course there’s a mention of tumblr (this podcast is hosted by millennials), deep questions about self and what we’d do if we weren’t afraid, and then a truly scary topic: the continued reliance on fat suits to represent fat characters in film and television.
