The Fat Lip is a podcast for and about fat people.
In some ways fat people are living in a different world than our thin and average-sized peers. Our lives and our experiences are influenced by our fatness all the time, but the outside reactions to fatness can really fuck us up. On a daily basis we are exposed to media that tells us that we’re not worthy of representation and a multi-billion dollar diet industry that is happy to take our money (for products that are proven to not work) while barely disguising its disgust at our very existence. It’s gross, and we’re over it.
TFL strives to be fat positive in a world that often isn’t. We are proud supporters of radical self-love and the fierce defense of your body autonomy. Fat is not an indicator of health or fitness, and health and fitness aren’t moral imperatives anyway. You don’t have to justify your body or your health to anyone!
On The Fat Lip, you an expect frank discussion of fat issues in popular media, exploration of fatphobia as it intersects with other forms of oppression, real stories about living, working, and dating in a fat body, big serious topics like the politics of the "obesity epidemic" and tiny fun topics like fatshion and snacks. Plus a whole lot more!

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 help us out. He wrote the incredible story I’m reading to you today. I hope you enjoy this eerie tale about Free Lunch.
The story read today on the podcast is Free Lunch by Ross Wade. This work is the sole intellectual property of Mr. Wade and he reserves all rights. It is read today with his express permission.

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 one I think we all need to think about and make a plan for.
This might be hard listen for some, so leave this one for another day if you need to.

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 of fat people to understand what fat people really face in this world.
On today’s show I’m giving you an overview of some important tenets of fat liberation as well as specific ways that you, a not-fat person, can improve things for fat people.
