The Wicked movie has taken the world by storm, so naturally Abby had to discuss its political roots, fat applicability, and body diverse casting with original Broadway cast member Kathy Deitch! They also chat about Kathy's experiences as a fat actor and activist, make the dramaturgical case for casting fat actors in iconic musical theatre roles, and (of course) take the lyrics of Defying Gravity and really hold space with that.

This week Abby and Luz are joined by Cornell philosophy professor and author Kate Manne, whose recent book Unshrinking: How to Fight Fatphobia blew both of their minds! Kate gives her take on the moral philosophy of fatness, how size informs misogyny, lasagna, dogwhistles, sexual fatphobia, Baby Reindeer, and her concept of body reflexivity.

Abby tackles the second installment of Bridgerton Season 3 with Cortland Jacoby of Punch Drunk Critics.
