Hello stranger! Oh wait, that's me...

I produce an art history podcast called Arts & Facts at Utah Valley University where I go to school. Doesn't that sound important...produce a podcast...when I put it that way it sounds so professional and stuff. Really though it's a bunch of friends nerding out about art history. You may have had this experience in other parts of your life and can understand the sheer bliss of having a group of friends that love the same things you love to the same insane degree that you do. It's like heaven really.

But, with all the time, effort and passion that goes into producing Arts & Facts we don't get any kind of monetary reward for it. That's not a bad thing, but it's kinda rough for a broke college student to work a part-time gig they don't get paid for. So I thought, "I know how to do this podcasting thing, it's super fun, I'll just produce a podcast of my own". I've had a dozen or more ideas about what topic I could podcast about but they never really motivated me. It wasn't until I was falling asleep one night (I get all my good ideas about this time, especially when I'm exhausted and have to be up in six hours) that the idea of a health and fitness podcast came to me. A health and fitness podcast hosted by overweight people who needed to be educated, who are confused by the insane contradictions that abound in the health and fitness arena. 

Luckily a few of my friends thought it was a good idea too! So here we are starting a podcast called, The Big Fat Truth. Marie Teemant, Mike Hardy, Kelly Hardy and myself are wading into the deep end...and it's terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time. 

In a couple weeks time we will be launching out Kickstarter to raise the money for the equipment we need to get things going and we're really excited to get things going. Any donation is great and we'll have some great gifts for all our supporters!
