Blaze Bordeaux + Deeva Rose, Burlesque, + the Fyre Fest of the Fat Community - a podcast by Matter of Fat Podcast

Welcome to the second episode for season two 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.

The Fat Dish is rife with events and updates! Check out links below for information more specific information. First, big fat summer and in betweenie super swaps are on the horizon - June to be specific. Cake Plus-size Resale will host the 2nd annual Fat Splash! in July and the Radical Health Alliance is hosting a Rad Fat Adventure Camp in September. Saraya talks about work travels and Cat explains spray tans and other faves including moderating a panel for Pollen Midwest.


C+S had to do it to 'em with the second episode and first interview of season 2! It's a double feature of two fabulous, local burlesque performers Blaze Bordeaux and Deeva Rose. Listen in for more information on how these babes are making the world more beautiful and we've got all the links for you to find them on social!

Dirt and Discourse (D+D if ya nasty) has the ladies reflecting on what Cat calls the Fyre Fest of the fat community. Not just a space for news/gossip, the gals explore what reducing harm and being accountable can look like.
