“The starting point is, and the research questions are all framed by: 'We know it's terrible to be fat, but how terrible is it?' Not: 'What would it take to give effective healthcare to fat people?'” says Aubrey Gordon, writer of the new book You Just need to Lose Weight and 19 Other Myths About Fat People, star of the documentary Your Fat Friend, and podcaster of Maintenance Phase. And it's not just healthcare where the alignment of 'fat' with 'unhealthy' - and 'thinner' with 'healthier' - becomes problematic and often very dangerous. "I really don't think people contend with the ways in which they are sending a message to everyone around them that there is a weight limit for people that they will love." Content note: this episode contains discussions of body size, body image, weight, anti-fatness, illness including cancer, diet culture, weight loss - intentional and un - and eating disorders. And there are some category A swears.  This is the second of two episodes about the word ‘fat'. In Fatlusionist part 1, Aubrey and I discuss euphemisms for fat, why people avoid saying ‘fat', what else people mean when they say ‘fat' and how it would be quite good if people said ‘fat' as just a descriptive term for ‘fat'. Find out more about this episode and the topics therein at theallusionist.org/fat2, where there's also a transcript.

It should just be an accurate descriptor of my body, but the word 'fat' has shaped so much more of my life, and our society. "There is this whole set of baggage that we are all culturally bringing to this word all the time," says Aubrey Gordon, writer of the new book You Just need to Lose Weight and 19 Other Myths About Fat People, star of the documentary Your Fat Friend, and podcaster of Maintenance Phase. In the next episode, Aubrey and I will discuss how the word 'fat' is often aligned with 'unhealthy', despite ample research demonstrating otherwise.

Writer, performer, and (comedy) sketch artist extraordinaire Tom Crowley joins the Bad Ideas Squad for two tales from beyond the grave! For our first bad idea, Sarah brings us a witchy obituary like nothing we've ever heard before, and - naturally - the team tries to figure out how to turn it into a story of growth and self-actualization á la Amelie. Then, Gabriel presents the tale of the somewhat ghoulish thing a Belgian town has done with the heart of their mayor, leading the squad to spin up a yarn about a man who couldn't lie in the most improbable way.  All of that, plus: old-school pyramid schemes, husbands of little-to-no importance, ladder embezzlement, oracular aunts from the beyond the grave, and Bentham Football.  Today's Bad Ideas™: Idea #1 Idea #2 For more of Tom's work, follow him on Twitter, and check out Wooden Overcoats, Victoriocity, and his website, where you'll also find Crowley Time (With Him, Tom Crowley). Support the show: http://patreon.com/NoBadIdeasSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bad Ideas team is hard at work on some new episodes, including our very silly 200th episode extravaganza. (Coming soon!) But in the mean time, we wanted to re-share this classic episode from our archives. We're joined this week by one of our absolute favorite podcast creators, the head writer of Wooden Overcoats, David K. Barnes! We completely squander David's talents, first, in turning the tale of one of the most incompetent thieves we've ever seen into one of the strangest heist plans we've ever concocted. Then we start a war… kind of, and turn a European military mishap into a game of spin doctors that, of course, spins wildly out of control. Plus: The Lost Boys gritty reboot, clumsy escape attempts, Hitchcockian suspense, Czech Jean Dujardin, and the strangest variation on the prisoner's dilemma we've ever heard.

More mayhem, more ideas, more Crowley!  We're delighted to have the inimitable Tom Crowley back for one more ride in the Bad Ideas-mobile. And the idea is Mr. Crowley's! Tom lets us in on a secret source of revenue that a German circus has been taking advantage of during the pandemic, and we turn it into a rags to riches to bars fable of ambition… and animal poo. We also settle down and talk to Tom about his sketch comedy work - how he comes up with ideas, how he structures episodes of his show Crowley Time, and his grand theory of joke types. Plus: The re-skinned Burt's Bees origin story, embarrassing censored movie posters, hilarious wacky mix-ups, Gabriel's secret weakness, and a surprising emerging market.

Today is a big day on supersized No Bad Ideas. We have not one, not two, but THREE special guests joining us in the Bad Ideas Thunderdome. Beth Eyre, Felix Trench, and Tom Crowley, three of the amazing stars of Wooden Overcoats, join to lend their brilliance to a pair of truly odd and awful ideas.  First, Gabriel brings us the tale of a woman who tried to buy a baby, and somehow we blow it up and shrink it down into a gentle indie stop-motion comedy full of heists and very organized babies. Then Sarah tells us about a man who stole a lot of manuscripts but didn't do anything with them, and we transform it into a layered revenge plot that begins with identity fraud and ends with the worst writers' retreat of all time.  Finally, we ask Beth, Felix, and Tom about their work on Wooden Overcoats. They share some of their thoughts on this fourth and last season of the show, Piffling being a place that time forgot, their routes into the characters, the recording process and the show's place in the tradition of British radio comedy, and the challenges (and fun) of performing the show live.  Plus: Build-A-Bear Texas, semi-collapsed societies, Steven King's sawed-off shotgun, World War B, and a pre-emptive apology to Guernsey.  Today's Bad Ideas™:  Idea #1 Idea #2 To check out Wooden Overcoats, find them in your podcatcher, check out their website, Instagram, and Twitter, and check out the live-streamed performances of Season 4 at Kings Place's K Player.  Support the show: http://patreon.com/NoBadIdeas See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2017/05/binary-system-podcast-83-zombies-run-with-special-guest-hannah/ If you've ever said "the only way I'd go running is if something was chasing me" then you already know one of the reasons we're fans of the Zombies, Run app. This week the twins' sister Hannah Wallace guest stars on the podcast to talk about all the other reasons we love this post-apocalyptic game/story/activity tracker, where zombies randomly show up to make you run faster while our favorite British voice actors cheer us on. We also fall down the rabbit hole of podcasts from across the pond, and how Hannah may or may not be stalking actors who perform Shakespeare with soup. Find Hannah on Twitter at @HannahWallace. https://twitter.com/hannahwallace The closing song is "I've Heard That Song Before" by Harry James, because it was used in the movie Hannah and Her Sisters.

I kind of blew past it with a dumb-oversimplification re: race, and I think I should just say I'm way too uninformed to have gone anywhere near that. I think I made it sound like you could identify race by accent, and obviously I know that's not true. If you want to follow along with Fanart Fridays, c

The piece of music we're listening to in the background is the main theme from podcast sitcom Wooden Overcoats. Today, we'll break it down and look at some of the insights into why and how it was made. You're listening to How I Make Music, where behind-the-scenes musicians get to tell their own stories. Every Wednesday, we break apart a song, soundtrack or composition and get into the insights into how it was made. My name is James Whittle, composer, performer and conductor from the UK, and this is How I Make Music. 00:46 About Wooden Overcoats Wooden Overcoats is a podcast sitcom about two rival funeral directors. On the one hand, there's Rudyard and Antigone Funn, siblings who rival themselves at times! And then newcomer to the island Eric Chapman, who has a fantastic presence and everyone falls in love with him. They compete for funeral business and a lot more on the island of Piffling. It's kind of satire comedy of small island and village mentality. But also a very nostalgic and affectionate take on rural living and community. And lots of lovable characters too. 02:15 Leitmotif The Wooden Overcoats Main Theme appears at the beginning and end of every episode. We hear the motifs from the theme throughout the show soundtrack to represent siblings Rudyard and Antigone. I had quite a lot of fun with the little jingle dum-dah-dum. It's often there, even under the surface. You might not always notice it. 02:44 Influence: Trevor Wishart One of the influences on Wooden Overcoats Main Theme is a piece by composer Trevor Wishart called Beach Singularity that was written in 1977. The piece is actually a live performance that takes place on a beach with brass ensembles and electronic recordings all at the same time. Victorian musical songs all combined with brass playing at the same time. Quite a noisy, almost absurd sound, which I love. I was drawing on these leftfield, avant-garde experimental compositions to try and get that sense of the absurd of satire. Of something a bit off kilter. We have in Wishart's piece, even dogs barking! So there's a lot of humor. There's a lot of chaos in this piece. 04:08 Inifluence: ‘Allo! ‘Allo! British sitcom Wooden Overcoats is set on a fictional Channel island. So one of the key musical influences was the theme tune from a British sitcom 'Allo! 'Allo! which is set in France and features lots of very bad accents. Very tongue in cheek, take a listen. The feeding tune has this dadadada rising fifth. Wooden Overcoats does a little quote of that. 04:48 Large melodic jumps The Wooden Overcoats theme moves up and down in quite large jumps. It's that stuff which for me harks back to 1920s operetta, which is very expressive with these big jumps up and down. Here's an example from the 1920s operetta The Student Prince by Sigmund Romberg. Sounds very romantic. I kinda wanted to add a little bit of that kind of nostalgic feel in the tune. 05:44 Live performance recording The Wooden Overcoats main theme was recorded live with a group of four musicians plus a conductor. And part of the challenge for me in writing the soundtrack is to get the most out of the minimal means. So even with just four musicians, how could we have, you know, a bass and some harmony and a melody, and make it all sound engaging? We wanted to work with live musicians, we wanted that raw sound that you get from live instruments. That's really the joy of music making for me is working with other people. It might not be a perfect sound. The drums are quite rough and ready. And that's maybe partly to do with how we recorded it anyway. But for me that makes the piece represent the show better. Because the Funn twins are not the most organized or necessarily straightforward of characters. 06:35 Odd ensemble The ensemble for this piece is not your average, you don't often combine a mandolin, cello, drums and an organ. And I had a lot of fun writing for that combination, that it made sense because we needed an organ to represent the funeral aspects of the show. We wanted a mandolin for the folk part. The cello was added as a sustained counter-melody to the mandolin's theme, and also as a bassline. But it's a bassline that is its own melody and the drums. Of course, we needed something that's that gave the whole piece a bit of pep. You know, I've worked a lot with musicians and it's about trust. And you know, actually because I'm the composer of this music, my job was to bring it to life. 07:22 Concert hall recording experience I was first approached for the show in early 2015 by producers, directors, John Wakefield and Andy Goddard. So I went away and wrote six or seven ideas at the piano and I scored these out. An organ was an obvious choice to be in the peace with the association of churches and funerals. When you walk into the concert hall, you see a large hexagonal space with red chairs and a bright wooden floor. It's a big resonance space with the tall white walls and more. And at the very ends, and the center is the organ. It has this magnificent sound. It's wonderful to play in. And it's also a very bright light space with the wood and the chairs. It's almost cathedral-like. You have a sense of expanse. I think you can hear that in the sound. 08:52 Twisty, crunchy chromatic sound I was experimenting with different options for a very chromatic dense chord that had a twisty sound. A really crunchy sound chords that move outwards and up and down at the same time just by semitones to land on this final chord in the piece which is in a completely different key to everything that's come before for the drums. We ended up with quite a rough and hectic sound. A mandolin plays the lead theme in this piece. A mandolin would have that the lightness and sound is quite a stark contrast to the organ and the drums. 09:57 Ode To Noggins Ode To Noggins is an expansive melodramatic song very sincerely felt, take a listen. In the episode, Noggins has his funeral and it's a celebration by the whole village for this person that nobody seems to know. When I was given the lines for the song I just laughed and laughed because the writer had included all of these uncertainties! You know, "we think this" or "we've been told that you're this". It's unsure of really what it's singing about. It always seems to change track. 10:54 Barbershop music I have a love of barbershop music. I grew up singing in close harmony groups and choirs. And I've always enjoyed the humor, the naivety, the kind of just the effortless, joyful, fun of it. And so I definitely wanted some of that close chords that move very lightly up and down in stepwise motion. It gets quite claustrophobic, sometimes barbershop harmony.
