Have you ever wanted to learn more about gaining and feedism? Perhaps you're curious to explore these communities? Perhaps you came across our podcast without even knowing we existed. No matter who you are or why you're here, we'd like to welcome you to Thicc Radio! This is a podcast where we explore gaining, feedism, and everything plus size; we're Tim and James, two long-serving community members who want to shed some light on these often misunderstood subjects and offer a platform to community members to express their truths. Tune in every Tuesday, but for now - bye, fats!
Tim Scott — better known online as @thickey_mouse — is a prominent voice in the gainer and feedist communities, bringing over two decades of lived experience and community engagement to Thicc Radio each week. His involvement began in the late 1990s, making him one of the most seasoned and respected figures in the space.
Tim is known for his candid, body-positive presence online, where he openly documents his gaining journey and celebrates the milestones and stories of others. His social platforms are a hub for visibility, encouragement, and education, reflecting both his personal transformation and a broader cultural movement. Beyond his solo content, Tim regularly hosts and participates in livestreams, interviews, and community events focused on feedism and gainer issues, creating space for connection and conversation.
More than just a commentator, Tim is an active participant in the world he discusses. His perspective is grounded in his own lived experience, exploring identity, desire, and body image with openness and vulnerability.
Outside of his community work, Tim brings a rich and varied life to the mic. With a career background in the healthcare industry, a deep love of classic cinema, and an adventurous approach to sexuality, he offers thoughtful commentary infused with gallows humour and grounded insight. His ability to distil complex, often taboo topics into engaging and relatable stories makes him not just a host, but a vital voice in the ongoing conversation around bodies, kink, and self-acceptance.
At his core, Tim is a storyteller and advocate — using his platform to foster understanding, destigmatise marginalised experiences, and champion authenticity in all its forms.
James Hynson — widely recognised online as @stannum — is a thoughtful advocate for size diversity, kink awareness, and intersectional inclusion within the gainer and feedist communities. As co-host of Thicc Radio, James brings depth, humour, and heart to every episode, using his personal experiences and curiosity to spark meaningful conversations and foster greater understanding.
A long-standing member of the community, James creates content that is both provocative and educational, blending cultural analysis with personal narrative to challenge assumptions and elevate underrepresented voices. Across social media and livestreams, he engages audiences in discussions around fatness, kink, identity, and stigma, always intending to build a more inclusive and informed space.
James’s work has also received recognition beyond the community. In 2023, he appeared in a feature-length documentary exploring gaining and feedism, offering a candid and personal perspective that resonated with viewers and helped demystify the subculture. He has since been invited onto several other podcasts and programs to discuss the intricacies of gaining, the intersection of kink and identity, and the social and emotional dimensions of life as a gainer.
James isn’t just speaking to gainers and feedists — he’s championing visibility and connection for the broader plus-size and queer communities. Through his own gaining journey, he models vulnerability and self-acceptance, encouraging others to explore their identities without shame or fear.
Professionally, James brings a diverse background across multiple industries, which he draws on to enrich his storytelling and perspective. His personal mission — deeply influenced by his relationship with faith, gender identity, and self-love — fuels his work as a community steward and public voice. With a sharp wit and a grounded sense of empathy, James weaves complex themes into accessible, enlightening dialogue.
More than a podcast host, James is a community builder, educator, and advocate. Through Thicc Radio and beyond, he remains dedicated to sharing authentic stories, dismantling stigma, and nurturing a culture of representation and radical self-expression.
