BONUS EPISODE: Everyday Lookism with Professor Heather Widdows

Hello! Welcome to a bonus episode of Body Cons. If you’ve listened to our previous series of Body Cons you might notice this episode sounds a little different. This is because we’ve been making the podcast remotely while it’s not possible to travel the country together to have these conversations. Hopefully you’ll forgive the less than perfect sound quality of this bonus episode and still enjoy these important chat. In this episode, introduced by Lottie, Molly speaks to Professor Heather Widdows about #EverydayLookism and the global beauty ideal.
