This week in fatphobia we’re talking about Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos who’ve recently discussed how they keep the spark alive while filming in different locations. There’s some fatphobic undertones that we discuss. Personally, Cassie is a big fan of Kelly Ripa, but it’s important to recognize problematic patterns even when people we like are perpetuating them. 

Our listener question is from a woman in a relationship with a woman this week and it's about how to handle differing sexual desires regarding length of time spent and the activity menu. 

Then we have wins of the week where Cassie talks about her love affair with America’s government teacher, Sharon McMahon (@SharonSaysSo). Sharon recently discussed banned books and used examples of porn without backing down from her stance that censorship is bad. We encourage anyone who lives in the US to pay attention to what’s going on with local public libraries and school districts in your area!

This week in fatphobia we’re talking about Gwyneth Paltrow’s terrible podcast interview with Dr. Will Cole. We also chat briefly about our childhood favorite, Gilmore Girls and the appalling amount of fatphobia in it. 

We’re skipping a listener question this week because I'm still exhausted from last week’s question. 

Then we have wins of the week where we talk about CBS’s Survivor and the changes they have made over time in order to keep up with the changing social landscape of its audience.

This week in fatphobia we’re talking about The Blue Zone Diet. What is a “Blue Zone” and why is boiling down a way of eating as a path towards health problematic? 

We got on an excellent tangent about Christianity, capitalism, and other societal structures which work together to keep us from communal living. 

We’re answering a listener question about desire discrepancy between a cis/het male partner and a cis/her female partner and breaking down the mythology around men having inherently high sex drives. 

Then we have wins of the week! Cassie talks about finding the ice box in her mini fridge like a dork and Hailey talks about a fun parenting learning opportunity.
