SHHH: The Poopcast (aka S**t and Shame with Shawn)

To openly talk about the topic of poop or bodily fluids is seen as unimaginable by society’s standards. I want to argue that point by revealing the truth. Our society is set up on ideals that a few humans, with many insecurities, that couldn’t come to grips with their humanity. I think this can be easily summed up by the quote Shawn Shafner mentioned in a presentation he gave, which follows, “Dr. Sigmund Freud once said, “Civilized men today are clearly embarrassed by anything that reminds them too much of their animal origin.” I think this has fueled our egotistical disregard for nature, and everything that it encompasses. Whether we are talking about poop, oceans, or forests, the reality is we are connected. We come from it, and instead of protecting it and making it better, we have turned out back on it. I would highly recommend looking at Shawn’s poop project or listening to his podcast. It will force you to think in a macro way and understand some of the irrational norms of society.

I downloaded this podcast after meeting Shawn and learning about the Poop Project. Don't know what I expected, but I couldn't stop listening and have been binging all afternoon! Personal, insightful, funny and unexpected. Love love love!
