Mainstream culture tries to tell people of size that they aren’t valuable in a variety of ways. This week on the Heavy Conversation Podcast, we talk about fat guy stereotypes and why we only get to see portrayals of the funny fat guy, the villain and the slob in the media we consume.

Are there any shows or films that are showing plus size people in a positive light? What are you watching that we should check out? Tell us all about it in the comments or hit us up @chubstr on your favorite social network.
