WTN Podcast

Nowsville is a project that brings together changes in society and an appreciation of the everyday lives and opinions of people from all walks of life. People from different places, of various ages and backgrounds inhabit Nowsville. We build a picture of what matters to people; what makes us similar and different.
I talk with dynamic Laura Liptrot about her experience as a bigger actor. Is sizism okay in acting? Or have ground-breaking productions such as Bridgerton made size a non-issue? How realistic is what we see on screen anyway when it comes to 'normal' people?Our discussion covers the reality of being big in an increasingly aesthetic industry, stereotyping, coping strategies and being resilient.We also discuss whether 'body positivity' was real or just a passing way of dealing with life as a big person, conveniently dropping off our radar as weight-loss medications take centre stage.#fatshaming#sizism#weight#bigandbeautiful#actinglife#actingindustry#weightlossdrugs#weightlossmedication#diversityandinclusion#plussize
