    Prioritising Pleasure with Self-Esteem / Rebecca Lucy Taylor

    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!

    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

    Hi Body Protesters! It's the season finale, and of course, we had to go out with a bang. We are talking to Lena Dunham, Writer, Director, Actress - and of course, Creator and star of the HBO hit Girls which Nadia and I both rewatched during the start of the pandemic and nearly 10 years on since it's debut, it still resonates just deeply. This conversation is very close to our hearts - we're so grateful to Lena for taking the time to speak to us. Lena is such a powerful story teller and trailblazer. We talk to Lena about:


    • Chronic Illness
    • Weight Fluctation
    • Fatphobia
    • Cancel Culture
    • The Film and TV Industry
    • Sobriety
