'Fatty Fatty Boom Boom' details podcaster's battle with weight
Atypical of inspirational weight-loss books, Fatty Fatty Boom Boom by Rabia Chaudry — an advocate of Serial podcast subject Adnan Syed — is a love letter to the author's native cuisine.
Pakistani-born lawyer and media personality Rabia Chaudry is best known for co-hosting the popular Undisclosed podcast — and for her tenacious advocacy for wrongfully convicted family friend Adnan Syed, whose case was featured on Sarah Koenig's 2014 Serial podcast.
In a quirk of unexpected timing, Chaudry's memoir about a more personal struggle — her lifelong battle with her weigh — is out just weeks after Syed's long-sought exoneration and release from prison. Like many memoirs about personal demons,delves into the author's childhood to give a candid account of her various mortifications, of the flesh and otherwise.
