    Hi!
    I just found your webiste (so amazing!), but am not finding a way to contact you. I’m holding a couple of fat-fabu events in SF in the next few months, and am also doing my MA thesis on hot fatness and would love, love, love to interview you! I really hope to hear from you.
    Thanks!

    Hey hi,
    I didn’t write the post about yr podcast, my friend did but I listened to it and loved loved loved it, so much. As well as flagging my friends and I talk about dating and dating etiquette all the time - anyway I was really interested to read the show notes for some of the links you said you would post up and also the music was fantastic, anyway I’ll be really interested in reading them when they go up. /end gush.

    thanks for creating such wonderful podcasts and sharing your ideas.
