alisonborealisI am loving the Maintenance Phase #podcast
It's such an entertaining introduction to wellness woo, fat-shaming, and huckster grift.
The episodes are intelligent and funny despite the serious topics. And the level of research into the topics is just phenomenal.
You might just gain some critical thinking skills from listening to this podcast.
But you'll giggle no matter what.
The snake oil episode is a great gateway if you're interested https://www.stitcher.com/show/maintenance-phase/episode/snake-oil-81304949
