Hi Body Protestors! it's our Season finale, and we're ending with a very special episode - Honey and Nadia chat with Pop Star extraordinaire Self Esteem, Rebecca Lucy Taylor. Prioritise Pleasure has been lauded as the top album of 2021 by a multitude of publications, and rightly so - it's a rallying cry to stop dimming your light to make others comfortable. Rebecca wants to show people (esp. women) that there’s another way outside of patriarchal norms and expectations Rebecca talks to us about her career, the moments that helped shape her relationship with herself, queer identity and trusting your creative instincts. We discuss The power of vulnerability and the importance of therapy. We adore this episode and we hope you do too!

No Knowledge Noodle this week, instead we have a wonderful clip of Self Esteem, playing us out! See you for season five, and thank you for joining us!

Hey Body Protestors! Can you believe this is our penultimate episode this season!? Time flies when you're talking about your feelings! This week, Nadia and Honey speak to the incredible Kenny Ethan Jones! Jones is an activist, writer, advocate, consultant and a former model. Kenny made history by being the first trans man to front a period campaign – which launched his career in activism. His advocacy focuses on; menstruation, body politics, mental health and intimacy and he does a lot of work around positive trans representation in the media. We ask Kenny about all of this and he so incredibly generously shared so much with us. We hope you love this conversation as much as we do!

This week is our final episode before we slip into festive season hibernation, but don't you worry, it's of course a very juicy one to tide you over until January rolls round. Honey and Nadia talk to the effervescent Bronze Abloh. Bronze gives us a whistlestop history lesson into their understanding of ballroom but as Bronze said, gather your information from as many resources as possible - watching Paris is Burning and Pose is a good starting point after listening to this conversation. We talk about the ballroom scene and voguing, queer community/family, life drawing, tattoos, depression

CW. Drugs, suicide ideation, self-harm

No knowledge noodle this week! Wishing everybody a safe and happy festive season, we'll back after the holidays!

We are leaning into the science this week and had a very interesting conversation with researcher Dr Scott Griffiths on how eating disorders manifest in men, muscle dysmorphia or ‘bigorexia’, the role of gender norms and toxic masculinity in male appearance ideals, and how body image fluctuates all the time. 

This episode’s knowledge noodle is on ‘seasonal body image’.
