50 Plus This! Show Co-Host Kathy Deitch Represents the Majority

In this episode we are talking about the Fat Positive Movement! Sheila's guest is Kathy Deitch, actor, activist and Co-Host of the Plus This! Show. After discovering that 67% of American women are a size 14 or above, Kathy and her co-host Eva Tingley felt that the moment has arrived for media, entertainment and fashion to catch up with content for this under-served majority and they started the vodcast. Plus This! features pop-culture, fashion, and current debates regarding food and health, the societal negativity and stereotypes that surround women who dare to take up a little bit of space. Kathy is a New York transplant who was in the original Broadway companies of FOOTLOOSE and WICKED and her Los Angeles acting debut was at the Hollywood Bowl in RENT directed by Neil Patrick Harris. Kathy also played Catherine/Senator Martin in the LA cast of SILENCE! THE MUSICAL (which received an LA Weekly Award) and currently is a part of the musical parody TITANIQUE as the Unsinkable Molly Brown. On television, she has portrayed a young Ethel Darling in AMERICAN HORROR STORY: FREAK SHOW and played with Pamela Adlon in BETTER THINGS. In film, she's opposite Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet in the thriller LOFT and was rubbed up and down by Matt Bomer in MAGIC MIKE XXL. www.plusthisshow.com www.titaniquemusical.com Instagram: @plusthisshow FB: https://www.facebook.com/PlusThisShow Contact Sheila with what's the most Woo-Woo thing you've ever done to [email protected] or visit www.soundmindbodypodcast.com Sound Mind & Body is brought to you in part by Audible.  Download a FREE audio-book and enjoy a 30-day free Audible membership trial at www.audibletrial.com/InBound (NEW AUDIBLE MEMBERS ONLY) At Audible, you will find over 180,000 titles to choose from and to listen to through your iPhone, Android, Kindle or mp3 player.   Support the Sound, Mind, & Body Podcast by visiting www.audibletrial.com/InBound If interested in producing a podcast of your own, like the Sound, Mind, & Body Podcast, contact Tim Edwards at [email protected]
