Aubrey & Michael are the best friends I’ve never met. If you’re mid thirties and grew up in a diet obsessed environment ALL the references hit.

Reasons to listen:

#1 The amount of research is impressive. I can never again uncritically accept nutrition study findings.
#2 I’m less of a jerk. They helped me recognize and end my own anti fat behaviors.
#3 it’s super entertaining. The format of the show (hosts take turns teaching one another about the topic) is great. You get to be shocked/angered at the same time as Michael or Aubrey!

All time favorite podcast

Hanging on every word

I love this podcast. Mike and Aubrey are my soul mates. I love the sass with their well-researched topics. I work in a college counseling center with students so brutalized by fat shaming, diet culture, etc. This is a great place to send them for an introduction to shutting off the never-enough megaphone so they can begin to love and accept their bodies and themselves. Thank you, thank you, thank yoi!

this is regularly funny and well thought out and clever--i really enjoy listening even multiple times. only thing is that the files are regularly broken so episodes won't play on audible and even on this podcasts website. please fix these bugs!

As a researcher, I appreciate the critical review of research and the presentation of facts. These two are knowledgeable AND entertaining. I hope they around for many years to come.

Snarky, warm and opinionated. Really deepened my understanding of the topic in a very entertaining way. Also, Aubrey and Mike have a great chemistry and are just fun to listen to.

My favorite podcast ever.

I love these hosts.

I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I got hooked into all of the episodes and even subscribed on Patreon for the bonus episodes! This is the first podcast that I’ve actually gotten into, I’ve tried to listen to many others, but it was just not as engaging to me as Michael and Aubrey are together, they have the perfect chemistry, their voices mesh really well together and it is just an enjoyable listening experience, you learn a lot and laugh a lot, so thank you for making this awesome listen and can’t wait for more!

Love it!
