In a weird spot? Take heart: Erin shares a tender story about a fart that set her on a new course. For people who like flirting with the edges of a few deep cuts but not really committing to any one particular angle, hop in! This week's episode of Fart Theory covers race, gender, the creative process, spirituality, and Jonathan kicks us off with something I've been eager to explore: unity consciousness and farts. What happens when two strangers who've never met get together to talk about farts?

Episode topics:

• Intro:
  • The value of a figurative fart
  • Cringe as a catalyst
• We're more alike than we are different
• Intersectional Farting: What is it like to be a Black man farting (or not farting) at work? What is Black joy when farting at the office?
• The creative process
• Why is farting at the grocery store so appealing?
• The Butterfly Effect of a very bad fart
• And more!

This is the third episode of Fart Theory: the show bringing together people from different backgrounds to explore how we relate to a shared topic — farts.

When it comes to farts, where are people more alike than they are different and where do our differences make us who we are? Listen to Jonathan & Erin's episode to find out more.

Guests: Jonathan and Erin are creatives who just met for the first time. Both are from St. Louis, Missouri — and both have Taurus moons.

Hello, internet! I am pleased to introduce you to the new show: Fart Theory. It's a show that brings together people from different backgrounds to talk about farts. We'll explore questions like:

• How do people respond when they accidentally fart in public?
• How are farts something we all have in common, and how are our individual differences, well, different?
• What can farts teach us about how we relate to ourselves, other people, and life itself?
• How much fun can we have trading notes and fart stories?

So, in one of life's many comedic plot twists, a lovely woman named Barbara asked if I wanted an affiliate link to her meditations about a week before I even realized I was launching a show. If you could use some kind words spoken to, about, or around your body, I can't recommend these tracks highly enough!
*The relaxation track is free; the paid self-love track is a classic, although the stomach ones are, well, relevant. Have a blast!💨
