60 acast.com The Worst Podcast https://play.acast.com/s/the-worst-podcast en The Sonar Network and Canadaland, Inc. The Sonar Network Everyone’s done some worst thing. Celebrities are always talking about their bests. Now hear them at their worst.


Join award-winning filmmaker and noted curmudgeon Alan Zweig for refreshingly honest conversations with “notable people” about the worst things in life.


Alan has no interest in best-selling books or Hollywood triumphs, and doesn’t know (or care) much about his guests. He’s looking for real conversations that dig deep and get to the worst things: nagging fears, embarrassing secrets and haunting regrets. And he’ll no doubt share a few of his own along the way.

Until then, Alan has another podcast about the worst thing in his life - his weight.


Tubby is about all of the things that the other weight and diet podcasts never talk about.  Alan invites you to join him for sometimes sad, often hilarious, always very human conversations with friends, special guests, and the occasional expert about weight, health, body image, self esteem and what it’s like to be or feel fat.


Today we’re bringing you the first episode of Tubby where Alan finds a kindred spirit in podcaster Alex Goldman (Hyperfixed, Reply All).  They share their experiences with self-loathing, rationalizing away exercise, dating as a fat guy, and hotel mirrors. Alan asks the tough question - is it better to lose weight or figure out how to find happiness in your body?


Tubby is out now wherever you get your podcasts.
