Episode Description
We are Virginia Sole-Smith and Corinne Fay, and it's time for your April Extra Butter episode!
This normally where we would say "Welcome to Indulgence Gospel After Dark, " but today we're saying, "Welcome to Extra Butter."
Longtime listeners know that we used to call the Virginia and Corinne episodes "Indulgence Gospel" in honor of a troll comment. We still love the name and are having a hard time letting it go, but we wanted to make it easier to know what kind of episode you're listening to when you listen to Burnt Toast.
Burnt Toast has three membership tiers:
Burnt Toast free member 💛 (Free!)
Just Toast member 🍞 ($5/month or $50 annually)

And Today we have an Extra Butter Episode! If you're listening to this episode, you're part of the premium tier, which means you're one of our favorite Burnt Toasties. You can get behind every paywall! Your support makes all our work possible and keeps Burnt Toast and ad and sponsor free space.

Episode 239 Transcript
Corinne:
Today we have a very exciting (for me) topic, which is we're going to talk about fat fashion, spring edition.
Virginia:
Is it getting harder to shop?
Corinne:
I mean, quick answer: yes.
Virginia:
Absolutely. It's terrible out there. Is it the state of the world, is it retail, or is it both? We're going to get into how it's feeling like there are fewer plus-size options, and we're going to get into some of your practical questions.
