The guest on this week's show is a repeat guest. I did a wonderful roundtable chat with a bunch of the authors from Big: stories about life in plus-sized bodies and Amanda was one of them. I started listening to her podcast and she had the author of Cultish: the language of fanaticism on her show and it just felt so connected to diet culture, so of course I had to have it on the show. During this conversation, Amanda and I talked about:
Are audio books real books?Amanda's body acceptance journeyAmanda is in the public eye, so. how does she handle questions and comments from others while protecting her mental well-being?How Amanda first found out about this bookWhat are the characteristics of a cult?Amanda's cult recruitment experienceLanguage techniques of cultsWhy media literacy is so important#bodyexhaustedFitness cults and diet cultsWhat is gamification?Is body positivity or fat activism cultish?High Low Brow Podcast inspired cult gameHave a listen and let me know what you think.
Keep reading everyone!
