Description
A self-help podcast for those of us who can't help ourselves.
Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt uncomfortable with your body—too chunky, bloated, tubby, or just not yourself? You’re not alone.
Iconoclastic filmmaker, podcaster, and noted curmudgeon Alan Zweig has built a career diving into the messy parts of life—obsession, insecurity, loneliness—and speaking the truths most of us avoid. But there’s one subject he’s wrestled with silently for years: his weight.
Tubby takes an unflinching, funny, and deeply human look at what it means to live in a body that feels too big—or never feels good enough. Each episode, Alan talks with friends, special guests, and occasional experts about weight struggles, body image issues, health, diet culture, self-esteem, and the reality of living fat. Sometimes sad, often hilarious, and always real, it’s a podcast for anyone who wants honest conversations about what it means to feel at home (or not) in your own skin.

Wow, Tubby hit me. Alan’s willingness to talk openly about weight, body image, and the uncomfortable parts of feeling “not enough” is rare and needed. I especially appreciated the episode with Alex Goldman — the mirror, the self-doubt, the question of whether happiness comes from change or acceptance. I’ve also been exploring vulnerability and self-acceptance on my site: https://tmagistv.com/ . Thanks for this podcast — it feels like a place where people can show up messy and real.
