Reggie Ugwu • New York Times • Dec 4, 2023
"...fearlessly candid ...“Weight for It” goes beyond superficial condemnation, thoughtfully illustrating how broadly accepted social norms can contribute to private suffering."
Score: 5
Mara Davis • Paste Magazine • Oct 16, 2023
"...an excellent look at fat bias in our culture. But what really makes this series unique is learning how overweight people are seen by doctors, fashion designers, reality TV and pharmaceutical companies."

"...nuanced conversations and thoughts...Ronald is unafraid to put himself out there, his body and his feelings, for a podcast that shifts the conversation about fat and desirability, and why so many of us are waiting for something…(thinness?) to start living the life we deserve."
