Is It A Fat Thing?

Auteur(s): Nikita Kalhan Simran Kaur Sandhu and Jade Elouise Fitzgerald
  • Résumé

  • Join Fat Liberation London co-founders - Nikita, Simran and Jade - as they explore the highs, lows and undeniable lols of the shared fat experience. Prepare for oversharing, swearing and unfiltered honesty – and maybe some new ideas about fatness too.


    Fat Lib London began with the hope of providing an inclusive space for fat people to exist freely and in all their intersectionalities. Since founding the community in 2023, they’ve connected with so many people who, despite individual differences, have had a LOT of shared experiences; and each time were left pondering the same question… Is This a Fat Thing?


    Armed with fat lived experiences, the rich history of the Fat Liberation movement and a lot of laughter (sorry in advance to your eardrums), they set out to put a spotlight on the systemic issues impacting fat people; from medical anti-fat biases and accessibility limitations, to diet culture and the difficulties of dating. As the podcast grows, they also aim to include voices across the spectrum of the fat community.


    If you’re a fat person looking to connect with others living through the Ozempedempic and death of body positivity, a thin ally hoping to understand and help your fat friends through it, or someone interested in learning about the discrimination fat folx face and how you can do your part to change it, then this is the pod for you.

    Welcome to Is It a Fat Thing! In our first episode, we get to grips with what fat liberation even is, why fats are so hated on public transport, why body positivity seems to have died a painful death, dodge a potential Lizzo-slander lawsuit, learn about the legacy of the Fat Underground and try to get comfortable in front of a mic for the first time!
