The research we are discussing on this 1-hour episode really drives home the complex connection between depression and 3 neurodegenerative diseases: Alzehimer's DiseaseParkinson's DiseaseHuntington DiseaseEven though depression has a high comorbidity with all of these diseases, you'll learn why it should not be an assumed part of the disease process. Instead, depression should be recognized as distinct and treated. But, here' where it gets super complex:In some cases the medications traditionally used to help treat depression do not work for this population—and can be actively harmful. So, OT approaches like environmental enrichment and physical exercise could actually be the front line defense for helping these patients manage their depression. To unpack all of this, I am so thankful to be joined on the podcast next week with dementia care expert, Rachel Wiley, MS, OTR/L, CDP.

In this episode, I read a poem by Rachel Wiley - "Dry Cake, Wishes and Tap Water Dreams". Rachel Wiley is a performance poet and this poem is one sure to divide the world into two - all women and ex-boyfriends. It's a compilation of wishes each of which is rich with imagination and humour. The fun of this poem is in listening to it, so you must tune in now. Even better is to follow the YouTube link I share to her original rendition which is a slightly longer version of the poem. I read “On the birthday of the ex-boyfriend who told me I was too intense...”, from an Instagram handle I follow. This poem is special also because it was the first ever poem I recited on stage at an open mic, right before I read some of my own poetry. Come, join me and make your evening sing :) I read from the Instagram handle of StateOfTheArtOfficial - https://www.instagram.com/p/B0D1SzrFVbZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link And this is the link to Rachel Wiley reading this poem - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpJn7y8kT-w The host, Ravneet Bawa as - @one_third_above on Instagram @maikeya on Twitter Email: ravneet_bawa@icloud.com Disclaimer: This podcast is created for sharing with friends and family, and only as a passion project amidst the Covid lockdown with no commercial interest.

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.

Steve interviews CJ Box about his new novel The Disappeared, his eighteenth Joe Pickett mystery/thriller. He is also the author of six stand alone novels and a story collection. He has won the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe and two Barry awards, among others. Jessie talks with Rachel Wiley about her second full-length poetry collection, Nothing is Okay. Rachel's work simultaneously deconstructs the lies that we were taught about our bodies and our beings, and builds new ways of viewing ourselves. As she delves into queerness, feminism, fatness, dating, and race, Wiley molds these topics into a punching critique of culture and a celebration of self. A fat positive activist, Wiley's work soars and challenges the bounds of bodies and hearts, and the ways we carry them.
