Binge Babes is a podcast about two friends finding joy in overconsumption. Sam and Kathleen are two fat Philly babes who became friends in the aftermath of the 2016 election. They quickly bonded over the dopamine hit that comes from a good show binge. We've been told we're too much our whole lives, but is there such a thing as too much joy or comfort in late stage capitalism? Join us for a deep dive into our TV and pop culture obsessions, with an occasional side of big feelings.
