Weight For It - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Just finished the “Into Thin Air” episode, which sums up why this podcast is so important. Ron so capably brings together topics, guests, and narratives that ate universal and urgent- politics, capitalism, mental health and opportunities for self-reflection. There are so many dimensions to the subject of body size, which can trigger or set folks on the sense- listening to a host this charismatic and deep explore them all is really exciting.

This pod has help me reckon with systemic body shaming I have witnessed as a personal trainer. I have new language, perspectives and tool to be a better ally in gyms and other spaces where weight, fatness and skinniness is often used to perpetuate toxic diet culture. Thank you so much for all the hard work y’all have done making this pod, I have learned a lot and hope to be a better ally today as a result! Huge fan, fantastic pod!!

This episode on his mother’s passing was so amazingly beautiful. They were so vulnerable and transparent. It was hard to listen to because I recently loss my mom to cancer as well and watched her suffer with a similar situation as Ron’s mom Mrs Peggy. Lord have mercy, I needed to hear this and thank him for sharing this with us. I’m going back to the beginning to listen to other episodes since I’m just now hearing the podcast. I’m a fluffy person too and have very similar feelings and thoughts. Weight is ALWAYS present. I love how the podcast focuses on all facets. Definitely a must listen, weight challenged or not. Keep them coming please.

I don’t understand why I haven’t heard of this podcast before. I’ve just listened to S1 and it’s great. I feel like it’s more honest and raw and less dogmatic than a lot of the fat-positive content I consume. It can be a little closer to triggering because of that, but totally worth it.
