Did 'brat' Summer Bring Skinny Back? Ft. Urooj Ashfaq

Ozempic knock-offs have wormed their way into India and brat summer has glamorized thinness and cigarettes. Did everyone secretly want to be skinny all along? This week, comedian Urooj Ashfaq joins us to discuss whether fashion is over body positivity, if desiring skinny is a pop culture aesthetic and whether the Kardashians are a 'true' representation for plus-sized beauty standards. Respectfully Disagree is The Swaddle Team’s very own podcast series, in which we get together to discuss and dissect the issues we passionately differ on. Credits:- Featuring: Urooj Ashfaq Co-Producers: Vasudhaa Narayanan, Rohitha Naraharisetty Edit & Sound Design: Vibhav Saraf Cover Art: Hitesh Sonar Art Director: Neha Shekhawat Executive Producer: Karla Bookman
