Is Weight Lifting a Diet Culture Escape Hatch?

On today’s episode, Rachelle speaks with writer and cultural critic
Casey Johnston about weight lifting. They discuss what led Casey to
pick up the barbell, how she found her way into the online weight
lifting space and the following she built there, and the ways
weight lifting might be able to break us out of diet culture’s
torturous cycle. This podcast is produced by Daniel Schroeder and
Rachelle Hampton. Subscribe to Slate Plus at
