Angela Callais

Welcome to season 2 episode 8 of Matter of Fat: a body positive podcast with Midwest sensibilities! Co-hosts Cat Polivoda and Saraya Boghani highlight community voices with a focus on body size, body positivity, &amp; fat liberation. The Fat Dish is rife with good news and exciting updates! First and foremost, Flyover is hosting their inaugural event in the Midwest featuring Lindy West and Sam Irby.  The event is on October 12th and will feature the two in conversation discussing their work, life, contemporary culture, and body image.  Get your tickets! Cat and Saraya were delighted to attend the 2019 MN Fringe Festival show Size and recapped the success of KFAI's Summer pledge drive. Thanks to Kristine Ramsay-Seaner, Harry Minot, &amp; Anna Loth Gresser for their amazing contributions! Keep up with KFAI by collecting all the fabulous radio personality trading cards.  Check the links below for more info. Cat caught us up on the success of this summer’s fat splashes and mentions a beautiful write up in the City Pages. Cat was also able to see the Rose Academy of Burlesque’s student showcase and mentions future participation on a panel about sustainable fashion this September 4th. While Cat shared the joy of completing Jane the Virgin, Saraya offered some viewing suggestions: Fleabag, Four Weddings and a Funeral TV series, and the movie Plus One.  Just, like, the opposite of Cat’s suggestion.  Saraya’s been busy with grad school and joining the ranks of iPhone users.  While she’s loving it she implores us to not let blue and green speech bubbles divide us all. The interview is so good and it’s with Angela Callais! Angela is a Minneapolis-based speaker, therapist, and entrepreneur. She shares her own story and great advice on how to find a therapy provider and methodology that works for you. It is a frank and insightful conversation with a very rad therapist.   The Dirt and Discourse is hella topical to release date.  Weight Watchers or WW or whatever the new rebrand is just released a weight loss program for children called Kurbo and the ladies call BS.  Listen in for some takes on the harm in behavior and food modifications and check the links for some good reading. Thanks for listening and reading!

Welcome to episode 6 in the 2nd season of Matter of Fat: a body positive podcast with Midwest sensibilities! Co-hosts Cat Polivoda and Saraya Boghani highlight community voices with a focus on body size, body positivity, &amp; fat liberation. In the Fat Dish, S talks about embodying “Hot Girl Summer” both in attitude and well… temperature.  This summer is hot and, as good midwesterners, both ladies lay it on thick with the weather talk.  Fortunately, Friends and Fans provided some good tips and tricks for staying cool in this heat.  C shared more about her marvelous road trip travels and exuding Chill Girl Summer.  S waxed poetic about spending summer weekends outside with friends (surprise surprise). She may have taken up the hobby of sleepwalking or has a casper in her home - not the mattress. ALSO! At the time of episode release, KFAI is amping up to the summer 2019 pledge drive. KFAI is a volunteer-based community radio station that exists to broadcast information, arts and entertainment programming for an audience of diverse racial, social and economic backgrounds. They’re here to help provide a voice for people ignored or misrepresented by mainstream media!

Contribute to KFAI to support this mission - for us and everyone misrepresented or underrepresented in media. You can donate at KFAI.org. Be sure to write in “Matter of Fat” when you select the program!The guest this episode is the marvelous Midwest artist Erin Sandsmark. Erin talks about her growth as an artist, shares thoughts on nakedness and fatness, encourages us to support local artists at every level, and so much more. The Dirt and Discourse is so much and so little at the same time!  The ladies attempt to talk about complexities of who belongs to fat liberation, body positivity/body neutrality, and how to leverage your place in that to make positive change for everybody.

Welcome to season 2 episode 9 of Matter of Fat: a body positive podcast with Midwest sensibilities! Co-hosts Cat Polivoda and Saraya Boghani highlight community voices with a focus on body size, body positivity, &amp; fat liberation. The gals highlight the Radical Health Alliance’s Rad Fat Adventure Camp and book club part 2 of Fearing the Black Body: the Racial Origins of Fatphobia at Real Life Coffee and Yoga this September.  They also share excitement over Lindy West and Sam Irby’s visit and their decision to attend the WNYC Studios Werk It Conference in October. Personally, Saraya repurposes the term “basicity”, loves people taking on challenges, and looks forward to attending the Pink Sweat$ concert coming up real quick. Cat worked through some allergies, chick lit audiobooks, and joined the board of the NLC.  Don’t wait on those applications, y’all!  They’re due in October. Also, Cat will be on the “Retail Revealed: Success Secrets from Hometown Brands” panel on September 22nd.  Also, TPT is doing an MN Original on Cat!  They came to record at the KFAI Studios and show off how our girl gets it done! Cat and Saraya were so excited to welcome Patrice Anthony to the podcast!  Patrice is a fellow Hamline Piper, creative, and absolute joy to talk to.  We talk about finding friends as adults, how awkward middle school is *cough* Pen15 *cough*, and honestly so much more - just give it a listen. And listen to her Grey’s Anatomy podcast called Code Grey’s.The Dirt and Discourse is about how creepy fatphobia is and we may have jumped the shark on the horror movie sounds.  Honestly, Saraya is ushering in autumn and the state fair is over so let it be FAT GIRL FALL!Thanks for listening and reading!

Emily Saltzman, Community Building, + Halloween Etiquette

Amy Siegel

Welcome to season 2 episode 7 of Matter of Fat: a body positive podcast with Midwest sensibilities! Co-hosts Cat Polivoda and Saraya Boghani highlight community voices with a focus on body size, body positivity, &amp; fat liberation. The Fat Dish is popping!  There will be a Big Babywearing class  on the day of release.  Both ladies are psyched to attend the MN Fringe show Size. The Fat Folx Ensemble present Fat Fest in Chicago from August 10th to the 11th. The Smitten Kitten will be hosting a Fat Sex 101: Fat Sex for Beginners on August 11th.  Real Life Coffee and Yoga will be hosting a book group featuring “Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fatphobia” on August 15th.  ALSO! At the time of episode release, KFAI has wrapped the first ever summer pledge drive. You can still contribute to KFAI to support this mission - for us and everyone misrepresented or underrepresented in media. You can donate at KFAI.org. Be sure to write in “Matter of Fat” when you select the program!As for personal dish, Cat loves audio books and talks about meeting a favorite author Jasmine Guillory, both gals finally experienced the timeless magic of the Riverview Theater.  Saraya is out of touch with the youths and Fat Girl Fall but is excited about finding a new doctor and figuring out if she’s haunted or into sleep walking. Both lasses wax poetic on their dreamy experience at the Fat Splash. The guest this episode is the original Amy Siegel.  Amy is a beam of joy and tells us about growing up and making space for herself and others, a budding burlesque experience, dominating the women’s arm wrestling arena, giving us all the insight into Mall life *meow*, and extolling the virtues of building a virtual community of music lovers through the Suga Network and the Emotional Response Hour, her history with Wynonna Judd, and a take on Old Town Road.  Let it be noted that OTR (not to be confused with Jay and Bey’s On the Run) was just breaking at the time of this interview.  Here’s to Lil Nas X and his endless remixes so this is still relevant.  Saraya has no regrets for this question. The Dirt and Discourse is quick and dirrty.  Maybe you know, maybe you don’t.  Forever 21 sent a buncha diet bars in their packages and there was a HULLABALOO.  The gals, bless their hearts, are not fazed or surprised by F21 making poor decision.  Cat does love a good lemon bar, tho. Thanks for listening and reading!

MoF Mini: Rad Fat Adventure Camp

Sean McPherson

Welcome to season 2 episode 4 of Matter of Fat: a body positive podcast with Midwest sensibilities! Co-hosts Cat Polivoda and Saraya Boghani highlight community voices with a focus on body size, body positivity, &amp; fat liberation. The Fat Dish is really dishy this week!  There weren’t any new updates on places and things but, hoooo boi, have Cat and Saraya shared what’s going on in their lives.  Highlight reel: Cat was featured for Pollen with a beautiful write up by Andrea Sanow and is going on an overdue vacation and Saraya enjoyed a week in Atlanta and fell into the weird world of BRAVO television. Also, Saraya challenges all those who haven’t got selfie game (i.e. Saraya) to post to the Friends and Fans page for practice.  C+S were so excited to interview Sean McPherson whose dulcet tones you may have heard over the radio waves, at a Trivia Mafia night, or through Heiruspecs and other musical groups. Sean brought so much thought and vulnerability to the interview by talking about parenting, confronting internalized fatphobia, and letting us in on the origin story of Twinkie Jiggles. And, honestly, so much more! Dirt and Discourse was quick and dirty this episode.  It’s summer in the midwest which means it’s time for you to wear what makes you most comfortable.  That’s all.

Nancy Alayon

You made it to the third episode for season two of Matter of Fat: a body positive podcast with Midwest sensibilities! Co-hosts Cat Polivoda and Saraya Boghani highlight community voices with a focus on body size, body positivity, &amp; fat liberation. The Fat Dish is robust, y’all!  First, the summer Big Fat Super Swap is June 15th. Also on June 15th is the TC Juneteenth event. The inaugural Podcast Du Nord conference will be June 22nd. Twin Cities Pride will also be the weekend of the 22nd. Cake’s Fat Splash pool party sold out but check out Allgo to see where other events will be held around the US. Saraya shared her adventures in lawn bowling and spending more time with Cat by catching the movie Booksmart, being interviewed by the Star Tribune, and attending a New Leaders Council - Twin Cities fundraising and celebration event.  Cat was part of the NLC Louisiana chapter back in the day and is excited to support the TC chapter.  Cat is a fan of Cardio Bay, not a fan of plantar fasciitis, and is gearing up for a summer road trip extravaganza! C+S were so excited to interview Nancy Alayon - a badass business owner of the Salvadorian food truck Que Tal Street Eats. Nancy talks about her story as a matter of fat and the many identities that interact in that story. She also encourages everyone to reconsider your perspectives on emotional eating and how she is shaping the culture of the Twin Cities through recipes passed down from generation to generation and her own culinary twists. Dirt and Discourse (D+D if ya nasty) includes information from GLSEN, Fran Tirado, and a suggestion to center queer voices and follow the money during PRIDE and other seasons.

Twin Cities Pride will also be the weekend of the 22nd. Cake’s Fat Splash pool party sold out but check out Allgo to see where other events will be held around the US. Saraya shared her adventures in lawn bowling and spending more time with Cat by catching the movie Booksmart, being interviewed by the Star Tribune, and attending a New Leaders Council - Twin Cities fundraising and celebration event. Cat was part of the NLC Louisiana chapter back in the day and is excited to support the TC chapter. Cat is a fan of Cardio Bay, not a fan of plantar fasciitis, and is gearing up for a summer road trip extravaganza! C+S were so excited to interview Nancy Alayon - a badass business owner of the Salvadorian food truck Que Tal Street Eats. Nancy talks about her story as a matter of fat and the many identities that interact in that story. She also encourages everyone to reconsider your perspectives on emotional eating and how she is shaping the culture of the Twin Cities through recipes passed down from generation to generation and her own culinary twists. Dirt and Discourse (D+D if ya nasty) includes information from GLSEN, Fran Tirado, and a suggestion to center queer voices and follow the money during PRIDE and other seasons.

Blaze Bordeaux + Deeva Rose, Burlesque, + the Fyre Fest of the Fat Community

Welcome to the second season of Matter of Fat: a body positive podcast with Midwest sensibilities! Co-hosts Cat Polivoda and Saraya Boghani highlight community voices with a focus on body size, body positivity, &amp; fat liberation. The gals are excited to be back in action with the first episode in 2019! Cat and Saraya bring back the Fat Dish since there’s so much to dish about!  The Subversive Sirens are hosting a Dive-In Fundraiser to support their competition in the IGLA Aquatics Championship, Cake Plus-Size Resale’s spring sale will include delicious pupusas from Qué Tal Street Eats, and the Radical Health Alliance is hosting a Fat Activism Salon.  Check out links below for information. The classic interview features our two heroines recapping their winter hiatus from the podcast.  Saraya shares a bit about her travels to Kenya and an anecdote about assumptive motherhood and waxes poetic on friendship.  Awww!  Cat has been very busy building out a curriculum on confidence, being a featured voice on MPR, a City Pages recognition for fat activism and changing the world (ahh heck yeah), and applying for the Real World.  Wowza, what a busy time! Don’t despair! Dirt + Discourse is back in a big way.  Per usual, the discussion ventures into the world of pop culture and much of the discussion focuses on Lindy West’s Shrill and the Hulu adaptation.  The ladies talk about their favorite parts, not so favorite parts, and how fat activism is growing and can lend itself to controversy and growth.  Thanks for listening and reading!
