Free Lunch by Ross Wade–a creepy story for Halloween
Happy Halloween! Last year for this especially creepy day, I read an unnerving story for you: Royal Jelly by Roald Dahl. I wanted to do the same this year but finding even suspenseful stories with respectful treatment of fat characters is so difficult. So I enlisted my good friend and brilliant writer, Ross Wade, to
TRANSCRIPT: Let’s Talk About (Fat) Death
(ASH) Hello, welcome to The Fat Lip, the podcast for fat people, about fat people. I’m your fat host, Ash, and today we’ve got a big blinking content warning before we even start. On today’s show I’m going to talk about death. Like a lot. I’m going to talk about what considerations there are when
Let’s Talk About (Fat) Death
Today I’m talking about a topic that I never see discussed in the fat community: death. But more specifically I’m talking about special considerations for fat bodies after death. Can you donate organs? What about donating your fat body to science? Should you choose burial or cremation? What’s alkaline hydrolysis? It’s an intense topic, but
Transcript: Fat Lib 101 for Not-Fat Partners of Fat People
[INTRO MUSIC: The Station by Starcrusher] (Ash) Hello, welcome to The Fat Lip, the podcast for fat people, about fat people. I’m your fat host Ash and today I’m changing it up and making an episode specifically for not-fat people. As you can tell by our title today, I want to focus on a brief
Fat Lib 101 for Not-Fat Partners of Fat People
We are all carrying around some anti-fat beliefs and values, even if we prefer to date or partner with fat people. Misleading information and downright lies about the health and ability of fat people (and really the importance of health or ability in general) is everywhere. It is especially important, though, for the not-fat partners
When You Lose A Parent You Never Had
Well, 2020 is truly the gift that keeps on taking. On Wednesday last week I got a message saying that my father was in critical condition. He hadn’t been feeling well. He and his wife had been on the way to the hospital when he stopped breathing. By the time they got there he had

Live Pod With Brittney (AKA Fat Rideshare Driver)! – Part 1
As promised, we did a live pod recording on Sunday, 3/29 and it was a lot of fun! It also lasted two hours (and probably could have gone a third) so I had to chop it in half. Today you’re getting part 1, and part 2 will be up in a few days! Credits Thank
Our 600 Pound Lives: The Episode

Our 600 Pound Lives
A thing that’s been happening lately is that people ask me my opinion of things. And, I mean, I started a one-woman podcast. Of course I am egomaniacal enough to very much enjoy telling people what I think about stuff. Even when I’m entirely unqualified! Which is often! But there are some topics that I’ve
Thoughts on Shrill Season 2 (TRANSCRIPT)
(Ash) Hello, welcome to The Fat Lip, the podcast for fat people, about fat people. I am your fat host Ash, and I’m back again very quickly after the last episode. 2 episodes in one week. Who even am I? I’ve had this Shrill episode in the works for a couple of weeks but it
Thoughts on Shrill Season 2
When Shrill Season 2 arrived on Hulu earlier this month, I knew I needed to talk about it on the pod. So what did I think? Today on the pod I am talking about the significance of Season 1 and everything Shrill Season 2 had to live up to. Did it? What did you think?
Happy Fat Tuesday!
Happy Fat Tuesday one and all! Yes I will co-opt this religious holiday to celebrate fat people, thank you very much. And yeah yeah, every Tuesday is Fat Tuesday around here, but this is the one that mainstream culture knows about, so this is the one I’m stealing. In honor of the holiday, today on
