Sophia Carter-Kahn wants listeners of She’s All Fat to pop in their headphones, sit back, relax, and feel inspired to “reexamine the way they think about their bodies.”

SAF + popsugar

POPSUGAR contributor Melanie Hamilton gave SAF an ol’ Women’s History Month shoutout in a list of “12 Podcasts That Celebrate Badass Women!” Melz said:

Aptly coined as the podcast for fat positivity and radical self-love, it's hard not to fall hard and fast for She's All Fat. Hosted by "your fat faves" April Korto Quioh and Sophia Carter-Kahn, She's All Fat is your much-needed entertainment on all things related to our bodies and why on earth we feel the need to critique them so much.

saf + autostraddle

Dani Janae — the mind who brought us the “Anatomy of a Mango” series on Autostraddle — wrote us up in this sweet, sweet piece about fat fatmily. Dani writes:

“As a fat person, the media I consume that is centered on fatness is crucial to creating an environment where I feel supported and uplifted. She’s All Fat is definitely a part of that repertoire.”

SAF + VoyageLA

Okay, hometown hero alert!! For Season 6 of SAF, Sophie got written up in the ~ local stories ~ of VoyageLA! Here’s a quick snip from the article:

There have been many times when I struggled to balance the benefits of connecting with my audience and sharing my experiences with the pain that comes from dismissive or hurtful comments. In the past few years, my adult ADHD diagnosis led to a lot of self-reflection and a lot of self-work, and I’m still very much on that journey! Before I could even start the podcast, I had to (and continue to) work on my own fat philosophy and the constant self-work that comes with being in an activist space and an active citizen.

SAF + THE NEW YORK TIMES…AGAIN!

Can you believe?! Sophie is given a major shout-out in this NYT article, “Holiday Eating Got You Anxious?” in the Self-Care section of the site. It specifically echoes Sophie’s thoughts on setting boundaries and walking away from the diet-culture conversation:

When someone comments on your food choices, you don’t have to engage. You can respond with a slightly disinterested “Oh?” and then either turn away or ask a question — “Have you watched ‘Succession’?” — to change the topic. “You don’t have to attend every conversation you’re invited to,” Sophie Carter-Kahn, a writer and the host of the podcast “She’s All Fat.”

saf + Pocket Casts

We also love our electric chemistry and are totally honored to be on this list!

SAF + KQED

Jeneva Toolajian, a star member of the Fatmily, created this radio segment about her journey to body positivity — with the help of She’s All Fat. We’re so glad Jeneva found us — and hope other young people give this piece a listen!

“She’s All Fat” introduced me to the “Health at Every Size” model, which is really different from your standard, weight-based approach to health. It’s all about respect and acceptance of body diversity and promotion of health for people of all sizes.

As I listened, I identified with so many of the stories other people shared; people like me who felt trapped by cycles of dieting and self-loathing.

You can listen to the piece and do some more reading here.

Bustle highlights SAF as one of The 5 Best Podcasts About Feminism To Listen To In 2019, Because Hearing These Smart AF Convos Will Give You LIFE!

It's important to remain engaged with what is happening in the feminist sphere, but you can definitely be forgiven for not always knowing all the history, theory, and terminology behind the movement. Because, let's be honest, the world we live in tries its best to put feminism on the back burner. So plug these in and enter back into the essential conversation.

saf + allgo

Can We All Go specializes in size inclusivity — and founder Rebecca Alexander wrote SAF up as a body positive podcast you need in your life!

Have you and your best friend ever looked at each other--mid laughing fit--and said the words, “We would make such a great TV show!”? My bestie and I have. And TBH, we  were probably wrong.

But if Sophie and April ever said that to each other, they couldn’t have been more right. These two wicked-smart women have the best conversations. From their musings on Netflix offerings, to their refreshingly honest Q&As around cross-racial difference, these two show off their creative magic.

Saf + sophie goes viral

Sophie tweeted about her giant red jacket from Prettylittlething, and gentle chaos ensued. Sites like Storypick, Mirror, and Metro ran articles on how Twitter took to Sophie’s tweet—and the best ones even shouted out the pod:

Sophia CK, the creator and host of excellent podcast She’s All Fat, had a different issue. She ordered a plus-size coat from PrettyLittleThing. It was described as ‘oversized’, but the coat that arrived was, well, a little more ‘oversized’ than Sophia expected. By which we mean it’s quite large indeed. The sleeves are much wider than her arms, the shoulders hang way past Sophia’s, and the pockets are spacious enough to fit a book or a small kitten.

saf + Mtv

MTV News talked to Sophie about body posi representation and Dumplin’ for their piece WHY 2018 WAS A ‘REALLY BIG TRIUMPH’ FOR THE CURVE COMMUNITY.

With each release came assessments of whether that representation was actually representative of the plus-sized experience. And from the community’s collective critique of these and previous portrayals, people are finally starting to catch on to the dos and don’ts of telling body-positive stories. “It feels like we’re at the very beginning of a lot more widespread representation, so I hope people continue to be loud,” Sophie Carter-Kahn, one half of the duo behind the She’s All Fat podcast, told MTV News.

saf + She spends

Sophie and April chatted with She Spends about season 3 of SAF, the intersection of spending and size, give their advice for how to a side hustle of your own in this newsletter piece, How Two Friends Built Their Podcast She's All Fat! 

A: As far as more day-to-day financial aspects of being fat, something we talk about a lot, if you need to go to an event, you are shit out of luck, you can’t walk into a store and find something specific. You have to shop for a bunch of things. Clothing sizes aren’t consistent. I have to order several dresses, determine what fits, send them all back, get money back. It’s just another level of planning. You cannot live a spontaneous lifestyle if you live in a fat body.

SAF + Vice

Nicole Clark interviewed April + Sophie over coffee in May and writes about it in her piece These Women Are Taking Body Positivity Back from Brands on Vice:

In the past few years, the body positivity movement has finally begun to have an impact on American culture—but it too often fails to actually center on or benefit plus-sized people. The podcast “She’s All Fat,” hosted by April K. Quioh and Sophia Carter-Kahn, aims to change that. The show, which has attracted several thousand subscribers since launching last year, unpacks the unhealthy and ultimately exploitative way that fat people are represented in popular culture, answers questions from listeners, and gives concrete advice on subjects like “going to the doctor while fat.”

Saf + livestrong

Sophie met up with Gia Narvaez, a trans bodyposi Instagram influencer, for a photoshoot and interview with Livestrong. They talk fatness, Instagram, and body positivity in the piece Is Instagram Body Positivity’s Most Unlikely Ally?

"Why do you use the word 'fat' in the title of your podcast?" the shoot's hairstylist asks. "Oh, I don't think it's a bad thing," Carter-Kahn responds. These days conversations about larger bodies are often hesitant, particularly because there's so much societal uncertainty as to what counts as offensive — that is if they even happen at all.

Keep reading (and see what they make of this conversation) here.

April joins the Friday Night In Podcast for their Episode 19: No Bullshit to talk being black in Hollywood, plus mommy stories!

Orly Farber, current medical student at Stanford, mentioned us in her piece on "Learning to listen as a medical student." We think this topic is so important to pushing for body positivity and body justice - thank you so much for listening and writing, Orly!

In this episode (#3) on body positivity — the idea that all bodies deserve respect — April remarks, “I go to the doctor and he just assumes I have diabetes.” (She does not have diabetes.) In this one line, April points to the problem of medical bias.

SAF is so excited to have been included on Ravishly's list of "3 Amazing New Podcasts To Tune Into This Fall" by writer Jenni Berrett.

I’ve been listening to podcasts since high school, back when I’d freak myself out with episodes of Welcome to Night Vale while I worked evenings scrubbing a giant warehouse for my Dad’s custodial business. Since then, I’ve consumed a steady stream of digital radio — everything from classic This American Life episodes to niche fandom podcasts.

She’s All Fat: A podcast for “body positivity, radical self-love, and chill vibes”, Sophie and April discuss current events, pop culture, and the intersections between fatness and feminism.

Thanks iNews!! 

saf + the curvy fashionista

Our Business Manager Brianne Huntsman wrote us up in this cutie lil article for our dreamgirl Marie Denee's site, The Curvy Fashionista!

AKQ: It freaks me out how there’s a pushback on talking about race in fat-positive and plus-size spaces. It’s like people expect me to say, “On this day I’m fat, on this day I’m a lady, on this day I’m black.” I’m all of those things every day. As feminists, we need to use our intersectionality muscle to talk about race.

Plus, we’re so different, it would come up anyways. Like, I’m black and Sophie is white and this informs our experiences. Also, Sophie loves buttons and I don’t own a single button.

SCK: They’re PINS.

SAF + healthline

HealthLine wrote us up in a lovely little feature for their She's Well feature in their Women's Wellness newsletter! Check it out here.

"April and Sophie, the voices behind the “She’s All Fat” podcast, speak in vibrant tones that envelope you in pop culture-heavy conversation. It’s like getting invited to join the insider’s club at the corner of a party you feel a little too uncool for.

As their conversations flow from Disney’s “Lizzie McGuire” (a mainstay for any early-2000s teen) to Netflix gems, and real, unabridged conversations about body image, being fat, and being feminist, you’ll find yourself shaking with laughter — and then, seconds later, frowning with intrigue."

Saf + HG

Gaby Herstik, LA's favorite witch, wrote a lovely little write-up of SAF for HelloGiggles! Read all about it here.

"Body-positive” may be a buzzword as of late, but that doesn’t mean the internet always affords those in the movement the space they need to share their stories. While the internet is full of instagrammers and bloggers sharing their journeys, there’s a niche that has yet to be filled. Thankfully, April K. Quioh and Sophie Carter-Kahn created “She’s All Fat,” a fun, entertaining body-positive podcast devoted to fat stories. The two Los Angeles-based writers and friends were inspired to create the podcast after realizing there was nothing else like it. And the rest, as they say, is herstory."

Saf + CYg!

We were so proud to be invited onto Ann and Amina's stellar pod (we are LONG TERM FANS) to give a primer on body positivity. We also talked about Oprah's long struggle with dieting, promoting diet culture, and her infamous bucket of fat. Check out the ep on the CYG feed or over on our Podcast page!
