Get to Know Co-Host Megan Crabbe

A little treat for you on this blustery Friday—an extra snippet from our first episode with the brilliant Megan Crabbe. Our conversation was so great we couldn’t fit it all into the main podcast, so here’s the part you didn’t hear.


Megan was one of the original trailblazers of the Body Positivity movement—calling out diet culture long before it became a trend. In this bonus clip, we talk about how she found herself at the forefront of that shift, and she shares more about her personal journey with queerness.


I adore Megan. I could listen to her speak forever—hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

281: Your Emails / My Hangover

Hello there, 


Just call me Tom Daley as I dive in to the Homo Sapiens inbox for your reactions to last week’s episode with Tom Allen on why it’s hard to make friends in the queer community. 


Plus I've been to the Attitude Awards and ran in to some of our esteemed future co-hosts, and you’ve been writing in about the potential trans ban at Hampstead Ponds. So we need to all rally together on this and sign/donate at the links below. 


And finally I’ll be teasing Thursdays next co-host episode… can you guess who it is?
