Bet you've been dying to listen in to the musings of two death experts takes on farts, huh? Well, you're in luck! Jodi Wellman, founder of Four Thousand Mondays, author of You Only Die Once, speaker, death enthusiast, and friend is joined by Misty: the ex-mortician most interesting person in the room.
As always, we are here to explore some version of the question: What happens when two strangers who've never met get together to talk about farts?
Episode topics:
- Why did Misty leave mortician life?
- How does a dead body fart? (Does it?)
- Is Jodi secretly throwing bodies into rivers?
- How can Cady emotionally traumatize Jodi for life and risk ruining the friendship forever?
- How many times does Cady need to say "cadavers" when she means "corpses" until someone says something?
- What can research on disgust teach us about life? And does anyone understand what Cady's trying to say here?
- What do our guests treasure about their partners' toots?
- And more!
This is the fourth episode of Fart Theory: the show elevating Cady out of a raging depression, and also 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 Jodi & Misty's episode to find out more.
Guests: Jodi and Misty are living death experts who met for the first time. Both have also held my hand and heart (metaphorically) through dark times, and for that I love them both deeply.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
