The Biggest Loser was a juggernaut of a TV show in Australia in the early 2000s and the woman leading the show as the host was Ajay Rochester. 

As a self-described fat woman herself, she now talks to Yvie about a lot of damage that was caused because of that show. 

She also shares her experience living in a fat-phobic world and some of the behind the scenes gossip of what it was really like on the show.

What Is Gen Fricker's Legacy?

You've probably seen the Tik Tok trend going around about a man or a bear in the woods... And if you haven't Yvie's here to explain it. And also why it's so important, in particular with the current state with women in Australia. 

Plus Yvie's got some homework for you, a new Netflix show, Baby Reindeer, that you need to be watching!
