Episode 3: Simeon Talley Welcome to the third episode of Matter of Fat: a body positive podcast with Midwest sensibilities! Co-hosts Cat Polivoda and Saraya Boghani highlight community voices with a lens on body size, body positivity, & fat liberation. We check in on Twin Cities events during The Fat Dish, talk with our guest Simeon Talley about his background and story as a matter of fat, and dive into the Dirt and Discourse. This episode originally aired on August 14th 2018. In the Fat Dish, Saraya is still in a daze after seeing Jay Z and Beyonce’s On The Run Tour II and is excited to learn more about radio broadcasting and sound engineering. Cat shares her eager anticipation for Cake Plus Size Resale’s Fat Splash pool party and hints at a saucy promo photo shoot with Boudoir by Eve. Also in the Fat Dish, Cat mentions that Button Poetry is putting on a spoken word event featuring Rachel Wiley on August 26th at Icehouse in Minneapolis and Saraya mentions the Dangerous Fatty community art event and book reading by Virgie Tovar on August 25th at Gamut Gallery. This episode’s interview is with Simeon Talley, who is the Chief Connector and Event Producer with the content and event platform Flyover based in Iowa City, Iowa. Simeon shares his background and how he came to curate platforms for underrepresented and marginalized voices through fashion, politics, culture. You can check out Simeon’s TED Talk and Medium article by Kiva Bay. We explore definitions in the Dirt and Discourse! Saraya’s mom has a question on our use of the term “intersectionality”. While we break down the definition, you can learn more by checking out this primer from the Washington Post and check out a perfect, and unfortunate, example of white feminism with Chelsea Handler’s interview of Ashley Graham. Many thanks to you for listening and reading, KFAI’s Mason Butler and Sara Pette for engineering and supporting Matter of Fat, Allison Anne Design + Create for our logo, and Kyle Werstein for composing and producing our theme music.

This week's show is all about bodies. How and why do we judge our bodies and other people's bodies, and how can we be better to ourselves and each other?

Sam chats with Kiva Bay about her successful Kickstarter, the Feminist Deck, as well as a number of nerdy and poignant topics. Enjoy!
We're all about the things we lose and the things we win when we play games, including Kiva Bay on Papo and Yo, Tom 7 on how artificial intelligence can be a sore loser, and David Wolinsky on the things we say to each other.
First off, please excuse any slight audio oddness, and also no offence is meant towards any known or unknown Chads! Except the princes. This time around, Emily & Mike are joined by social justice comics artist extraordinaire Kiva Bay, who was gracious/hyped enough to join us to talk about 1973's very furry Robin Hood. After returning to the present, there's some discussion about Cinderella, Marvel and (*shudder*) Descendants, and you know what? It's all Quite Good. We think. If you agree - or don't, y'know - you can let us know, by Liking us on Facebook, Following us on Twitter and Tumblr, subscribing to us on iTunes, and emailing us at disnerds@gmail.com - and, as always, enjoy!
