The Pride Episode 06/28/2021

The Pride Episode When your fatness takes up all the space in the room, where is the room for queerness? On this special Pride episode, Big Calf host Amanda Richards and producer Allison Specketer discuss how growing up as a fat kid kept them from exploring their queerness in different ways — in Amanda's case, getting bullied for her weight in childhood kept her from coming out until her thirties. This episode is about being gay, being fat, and figuring out how both to both inhabit and love those things about yourself. /episode/index/show/bigcalfpodcast/id/19628435
