I Pushed Him To The Ground And I Sat On Him with Ashley Monique Menard

More Than Tracy Turnblad

This episode marks a very important podcast milestone: the first time we forgot to press record and had to redo the entire interview! But as Ashley says in the episode, that was just a preview and now you get to listen to opening night. First, Abby explains how fat tropes in media implicitly give the audience permission to be cruel to fat people. Then Ashley Monique Menard, performer, host of The Eff Your Fears Podcast and creator of The Art of Blowing It, comes on to discuss Kirstie Alley, Fat Monica, onstage orgasms in front of her parents, whether it's appropriate to compliment weight loss, protective fatphobia, going back to school, and the time she literally sat on her sixth grade bully. Also, if anyone would like to produce Gypsy starring Ashley as Mama Rose and Abby as Louise/Gypsy Rose Lee, our contact info is below ;)
