Join Callum and Craig as they welcome Marilyn Misandry a - Trans, Fat, and DJing Drag Queen and activist - as they discuss the idea of Fat Liberation and why it's vital that the word 'Fat' begins to be reclaimed as a positive term rather than one which has negative connotations attached to it. Having Marilyn on this episode was an absolute delight - she was a no-holds barred kind of interviewee and certainly had us reclaiming the word fat by the end of the episode! Listener's will hopefully find Marilyn as much of a delight as we did! Pull up a seat and join us as we work to reclaim the word Fat!
