Ep 37: Dumplin'

Dumplin' tells the story of Willowdean Dickson, a Texan teenager who participates in a beauty pageant in order to prove to herself and the world that there's nothing she can't do. It's full of humor and heart, but also unabashedly tackles difficult topics around fatness, societal pressures, and grief. We discuss the fascinating nuances portrayed in the book, the realistic depiction of life in high school, and the intense secondhand embarrassment of watching someone mess up a magic trick in front of an audience.
