Intersectional Farting: Jonathan & Erin

04/10/25 • 66 min

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.
