SHOW NOTES: Carnie Wilson was scheduled to appear this evening after her illness the previous week. She had a music video shoot scheduled the same evening that went long and unfortunately kept her from appearing on the show, hence why you hear us making up for her not calling in. We did, however, have a great interview with her on 10/20 that we will be posting shortly. Thanks for your understanding! :)
Our other features:
Overcoming Obesity: Tonight we introduce you to Jamie Miles, WLS post-op and actor, who will be featured in "The Inspectors" this Saturday, 10/15 on CBS. Learn more about Jamie at www.actorjamiemiles.com
Fat Fraud: We'll be continuing our coverage on Eric Hites and the Fat Guy Across America story as well as introducing you to Stasia Bowen and her Stasia2Point0 crowdfunding campaigns.
The Backstage Pass Radio Program is hosted by Diva Taunia and Jean Powergirl and can be heard every Friday night at 7:00pm PST. A live chat happens during the show as well as a Facebook live feed on the following pages:

Today's program is a little break from the norm: I have two super-special, super-gorgeous guests on to help me with today's program! If you've been following me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, you have noticed that I've recently put together a new "girl-group," reminiscent of the swing-era and very much like The Andrew Sisters back in the day. My lovely, gorgeous, and talented friends and co-singers Lindsy and Lydia will be joining me as guests on the program today to talk about the new group, tell you a little bit about themselves and their musical backgrounds and help me with today's show.
The program today is very generously supported and sponsored by Wellesse.com, Ever Pretty Dresses, Daddy O's Rockabilly Clothing, and Konf-X Noise Cancelling In-Ear Buds!
We've been running a content this week to help us name the group, and we'll be announcing the raffle winner on the program today AND announcing the new name of the group! The raffle winner will have a gift box of goodies from us mailed to them as our thanks for participating and helping us out. :)
That will all happen the first half of the show, and the second half of the show will be filled with great swing and big band music to help you swing into your weekend and get your feet dancing!
Help us spread the word! Tell your friends and family to tune in as well! The chat room will open 15 minutes before showtime, we'll be tweeting live during the show (@divataunia) and you can also call-in to speak to us live if you'd like! The call-in # is 347-857-2052.

Happy 69th Birthday to Taunia's Dad Chet!
We're taking a one-week break from our usual Lunchtime Concert Series of music to bring you a special "sneak peek" of Diva Taunia's NEW show scheduled to launch next month in October: DOWNSIZE DIVAS! sponsored by Downsize at Home and Wellesse Liquid Vitamins and Supplements. Taunia will be co-hosting this once a month program with her good friend, and author of "Powerful Hunger," Dagny Kight and we want YOU to be part of it!
First, we want to hear from you about what day and time works best, and we're going to enter you into a raffle to win a gift basket full of goodies just to let us know here on this Google Doc (by Thursday, 9/24) easy!
We'll also be looking for FOUR AMAZING DIVAS to showcase, feature, and GLAM up (with FREE stuff each month)! Don't miss Dagny's call for the Downsize Divas! You can APPLY HERE to STAR in our campaign!
Of course we're going to talk about what's happening in the news: the "Dear Fat People" video from "comedian" Nicole Arbour, and also the "Fat Guy Across America" story of a 560 lb man who raised $11K in foundations for a bike ride across the US to better his health that's never actually happened. No updates, no money, no progress. Lots of controversy!
We welcome your calls (347-857-2052) & the chat room will be open!

Every first Wednesday of each month (always at noon, pst), our show is dedicated to bariatric, weight loss surgery, and weight loss topics. This week, my good friend Dagny Kight will be filling in as host for me. Dagny is an active health and wellness advocate and the author of Powerful Hunger.
Today's program is all about well-known sayings and what they mean to you, or how the make you feel, and we'd love for you to discuss this on the show. The phone line and live chat will be open that day, or you may leave comments on the blog here. Examples: We've all heard "Diets don't work." What do you think most people think of when they hear that phrase? Do they take it literally? What does it mean to you? .A widely-recommended weight loss strategy is "Think like a thin person." How does that make you feel? Do you think it's a legitimate strategy for losing weight? How DO thin people think??When people hear "Weight is not an indicator of health" they often interpret that in different ways. What does it mean to you? What do you think most people believe it means? What do you think people mean when they say "Weight loss surgery is the easy way out. It's cheating." Why do you think people use this as an insult? There are a lot of angles to consider with this one! What does "Fat Acceptance" mean to you? It's closely associated with "Health at Every Size." The Association for Size Diversity and Health lays out specific principles for FA and HAES but they are interpreted many different ways. Tell us what they mean to you and how you think others view FA and HAES.

I recently read a very interesting article by Marianne Kirby on xoJane called, "I'VE ONLY GOT 1 THING TO SAY TO FOLKS WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND FAT ACCEPTANCE," which was a response article to Carolyn Hall's "6 THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE FAT ACCEPTANCE MOVEMENT." The article has almost 600 comments - which are incredibly interesting, provocative and informative all at the same time.
As a former morbidly-obese woman (311+ lbs), I am incredibly sensitive to the bias and stigma against overweight people. However, I struggle with the terms and ideaologies that are core to the Fat Acceptance movement.
Today's discussion will feature my good friend and author of Powerful Hunger, Dagny Kight.

If you tuned into the show last week, you hear me play a clip from ABC's "The Revolution" that featured a 13 yr old named Ally talking about her experience as an overweight teenager. I was immediately drawn to how articulate and insightul this young girl was, and was soon directed to her blog: www.losergurl.com and just became completely inspired by this courageous and wonderful young woman. Ally's mom Wendy also blogs about her own experiences with weight at www.theweightsover.net. Wendy inspired her daughter to start blogging about her experiences and journeys, and together, they're a shining example of how great parenting and family relationships can change everything. I invited both to appear on the show, and tonight Ally and Wendy will be on to talk about their blogs, their experiences with weight and discrimination, and also how they work together as a team to be a powerhouse of support for each other. Callers are highly encouraged to call-in and voice their support for these two incredible ladies. Tonight's show is sponsored by: www.bjsbariatrics.com www.celebratevitamins.com www.wellesse.com Tonight's audio is Taylor Swift's "Mean."

Following on the heels of the recent remarks from Dr. John Kelly and Outpatient Surgery Magazine, tonight's program will focus on advocacy and how your voice matters in the fight to end weight and obesity bias and discrimination.
Special guests: James Zervios, Director of Communications and Joe Nadglowski, CEO and President of the Obesity Action Coalition, and Dr. Connie Stapleton.
Much has been said about the article itself, but rather than focus on hurt feelings and negative feedback, our focus tonight is on how YOUR voice can lend towards ending bias. Weight and size bias is one of the last socially accepted forms of discrimination, and programs like The Obesity Action Coalition's "Bias Busters," are working towards erasing that mindset.
Please join us tonight for discussion, thoughts, ideas, and information about how your voice can help. The call-in # is 347-857-2052.
