Self Care/Taking Care Of Yourself
After a two year -- uh -- hiatus, we're happy to present almost two hours of hot new Fatcast action! (YES, featuring my charming lisp and multitudinous "y'know"s!)
In this episode, Marianne and I discuss how incredibly difficult it can be to take care of yourself, and it's a little less upbeat than we planned. Subjects covered include "fitnessing," feeding ourselves, setting boundaries, getting medical care, and developing a personal style. Also we agree that HILLS ARE TERRIBLE.

Risk Management
In this episode, Marianne and I have a philosophical discussion about taking chances and living self-acceptance every single day. If it sounds sort of new-agey and earnest, that's because it is!

Fatcast Live at Re/Dress NYC! [Raw audio]
This is the uncut recording from our live Fatcast on May 1. Unfortunately, technical difficulties prevented us getting a high-quality recording, so the sound on this is... not great. It starts off kinda quiet, but once we start using the amplifier setup, it does improve a little bit.
Anyway, our apologies for the lousy sound, but we hope you dig it anyway! -
Off the rails
This is a short episode in which Marianne and I discuss our excitement for this weekend's Fat Girl Fleamarket, and the live Fatcast happening at Re/Dress the Sunday after. We also have a case of the giggles.
I only just realized it now, but today marks one year since we started this thing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FATCAST!

Customer Reviews
chatting with friends
This podcast is like listening to a great conversation you would have with a friend. If you and your friend are intelligent, funny and insightful fatties. This podcast entertained me through a long solo road-trip.
Love it
These women are great. Really smart and dynamic. Fat, thin, whatever-- this is a wonderful listen; I look forward to it each week.
Great podcast for all...
These ladies are intelligent, super witty and provide a great deal of insight into the world of the overweight or "fatties" as they say. While I think that the podcast is geared to the overweight, smaller people can also enjoy this podcast. Keep up the good work, ladies!!!
