Join us for a taping of the critically acclaimed podcast “Weight For It,” which unpacks the nuanced thoughts of fat folks, and of all folks who think about their weight all the time. Host by Ronald Young Jr., this special live series, explores the stories of people who have found career success despite Hollywood’s tendency to overemphasize smaller bodies.


Young will be joined by Lindy West, author of “Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman” (now a Hulu original TV series), “The Witches Are Coming,” “Shit, Actually” and a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times. She is also co-host of the podcast “Text Me Back” and author of the newsletter Butt News. Copies of her books will be available for purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith and West will sign after the event. 


Selected as one of the best podcasts of 2023 by the New York Times, Vogue and Vulture, “Weight for It” is also a three-time Podcast Academy Award winner. Its Ambie wins included Best Society and Culture Podcast, Best Indie Podcast and Best Indie Podcast Host.
