Podcast by Sam and Kathleen

Binge Babes

Binge Babes is a podcast about two friends finding joy in overconsumption. Sam and Kathleen are two fat Philly babes who became friends in the aftermath of the 2016 election. They quickly bonded over the dopamine hit that comes from a good show binge. We've been told we're too much our whole lives, but is there such a thing as too much joy or comfort in late stage capitalism? Join us for a deep dive into our TV and pop culture obsessions, with an occasional side of big feelings.

We're Never Expected (Your Fat Friend)

This week, Sam and Kathleen have some big fat feelings about a documentary called Your Fat Friend. The BBs follow Aubrey Gordon, filmed luxuriously by director Jeanie Finlay over the course of 6 years, during her transition from fat anonymous blogger to fat best selling author/podcaster. Special thanks to Aubrey Gordon for her fat babe manifestos, extreme vulnerability, and the constant inspiration. Just say FAT!
