Hello, I'm super excited to tell you about a new show coming to Radio Topia.

It's called wait for it.

Not wait, like wait for me or wait, wait, don't tell me.

But wait, that thing that many in our society are concerned with gaining or losing.

Wait for it is a narrative show that tells the story of folks who can't stop thinking about their weight.

Creator and host Ronald Young Jr. is seeking to have the conversations about our bodies that are often understated and sometimes flat out unsaid.

He kicks the show off with his own story, wondering if he can ever truly be desirable as a fat man.

He then brings us stories of all types of folks, fat and straight-sized, who can't seem to keep weight off their minds.

New episode starting August 17th.

Subscribe to wait for it today, wherever you listen to podcasts.

I said yes, and a few hours later I found myself face-to-face with Mr. NFT in his studio.
