About this listen

 You know that bookclub you belong to? The one where the wine flows freely, the laughter is loud and the books are extremely interesting. That is this podcast, in your ears. My name is Jennifer Radke and I am your host and a body image coach. I get my guests to read a book in the Fat Acceptance/Body Positive/Health at Every Size space and I talk to them about it. Throughout these conversations I get them to tell their stories, we go off on tangents and we give you a great idea of the main concepts of the books we are discussing. This is not the author talking about the book they wrote! This is people who are boudoir photographers, influencers, activists and other coaches, talking about life changing books.2024 FatGirlBookclub Art Social Sciences

    Fat Sex by Rebecca Jane Weinstein with Lala
    Sep 15 2022
    TRIGGER WARNING: Event dieting, weight gain, sexual trauma, sex and graphic sexual acts, exerciseI cannot believe we have reached episode 80! After almost three years, a plethora of guests and experiences, and tons of books, we are at the end. Well, not the end end, just the end for now. I don't know why I am going on and on about this because I do hope to come back in the new year with a new look and possibly a new format, but for now I just want all of you to know how much it means to me that you listened to and (hopefully) enjoyed this show. You guys are the best!My last guest is going to knock your socks off so get ready for a really great discussion all around being fat and having sex. I will admit I'm pretty sexually-inhibited and so I had a hard time getting out what I wanted to say when I was talking to Lala but that did not stop Lala from digging in and giving some great information and really relevant tips. We talked about a book called (appropriately) Fat Sex so we had a lot of material to work with. Here are some of the topics we covered:Lala's sex and body positive journeyA discussion of the male gaze and sexualityHow Lala became a sexual educatorAll about Lala's podcast and IG accountThe stories in the book and how Lala related to themMindful sex.Self-esteem and confidence as an attractorDo men like women in larger bodies?How can women get over body image hang ups in the bedroom?Porn - fat porn, regular porn, everything pornIs fatness a fetish?The components of mind blowing sexWomen and orgasmingSexual communicationHow can we make adjustments to sex when dealing with chronic illness or disability?Dating sites and dating app tipsKeep Reading Everyone!Lala's LinksLala's websiteLala's InstagramLala's Bedtime Tales PodcastFat Girl Book Club Podcast LinksFat Girl Book Club InstagramFat Girl Book Club Email: fatgirlbookclubpod@gmail.com Plus Size LingerieTorridShienAmazonFredericks of HollywoodLove HoneyEpisode LinksSex with Emily PodcastSex with Emily InstagramLala's article about positions for larger bodiesDipseaLala's Book RecommendationsYour Body is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee TaylorPussy: A reclamation by Regina ThomashauerGirl Boner by August McLaughlinCome As You Are by Emily Nagoski

  • Fat-Talk Nation by Susan Greenhalgh with Amanda Levitt

    Fat-Talk Nation by Susan Greenhalgh with Amanda Levitt
    Sep 1 2022
    TRIGGER WARNING: Use of the O-words All good things must come to an end my friends. This podcast has saved me in a multitude of ways. The books I've read for the show, the people I've met have changed my life. I am a different, a better person because I did this show. I am also a more confident speaker and connector to others because I had a podcast. I just feel so grateful for the opportunity to run a show about something I love and connect to you, the listeners. I am so, so grateful you listened, subscribed and enjoyed. But life has taken me in a different direction and so (at least for now) after episode 80 (stick around for that one!) the show will be on a break. I really do hope to come back in the new year but until then, maybe you wan't to check out my guest's podcast! Amanda Levitt is the host of a podcast called Fat Theory Book Club so not only does she read body liberation books but she also talks to readers and authors alike about the ideas in them. It is worth your time to check it out BUT FIRST (lol), check out my chat with Amanda where we talk about Fat-Talk Nation by Susan Greenhalgh. We cover:Amanda's journey to activismBaby steps for baby activistsWhy Amanda picked this bookThe research in this book and how that compares to fat liberation classic readsThe concept of biocitizenshipWas there a difference between the Obese and the Overweight chapters in terms of experiences and Greenhalgh's analysisHow the War on Obesity's capitalist agenda affects Ivy League universities and their researchDiscussing the thin experienceHave there been changes since this book?Some medical devices for weight loss that you've never heard of! 🤯Keep Reading Everyone!Amanda's LinksFat Theory Book Club PodcastWhimsical Femme on IGFat Body Politics on TwitterFat Body Politics on Tik Tok Fat Girl Book Club LinksDiscord groupInstagramAmanda's Book RecommendationsUnbearable Weight by Susan BordoThe Embodiment of Disobedience by Andrea Elizabeth ShawCan't Buy My Love by Jean KilbourneEpisode LinksBig Fat BlogFat Body Politics BlogAbundant BodiesMaintenance Phase PodcastFat Activism by Charlotte CooperKiller Fat by Natalie BoeroNHANES SurveyKatherine Flegal StudyFearing the Black Body by Sabrina StringsFat in the Fire ArticleThis is Thin Privilege BlogBody of Truth by Harriet BrownAll About Love by bell hooksIn Transit by Dianna E.
