Clean Person, Dirty Mind with Jolie Kerr
#### Welcome to Season 3, friends! We\u2019re so hyped to get back into the game with Jolie Kerr, a podcaster, writer, and _New York Times_ bestselling author who\u2019s here to help us all be a little less gross.\n\nJolie is best known as the expert at \u201cAsk A Clean Person,\u201d where she dishes up advice on cleaning basically anything\u2014and we mean _anything_. She\u2019s also the _dirtiest_ clean person we\u2019ve ever met\u2014like, who else is going to get tell you about the best way to wash your sex toys and clean cum stains off the couch?\n\nWe ask Jolie about becoming a cleaning expert, turning her part-time column into a media empire, and navigating the politics and gendered expectations around who cleans what. Plus, she gives us great advice on how we can all be just a little bit less gross.\n\n> In my experience, men have found it very empowering to read my columns \u2014 to know that they\u2019re geared towards them. They are written for a male audience and they\u2019re not condescending. They\u2019re funny. They\u2019re oftentimes raunchy. I always say, you know, \u201cClean person. Dirty mind.\u201d\n> \n> [Jolie Kerr](https://twitter.com/joliekerr), \u201cAsk A Clean Person\u201d creator and NYT bestselling author\n### Links on links on links:\n\n- The Ask a Clean Person empire: the [AACP Lifehacker column](https://lifehacker.com/tag/ask-a-clean-person), Jolie\u2019s [_New York Times_ archive](https://www.nytimes.com/by/jolie-kerr), the [AACP podcast](https://www.acast.com/askacleanperson) on acast, and of course the [original column on _The Hairpin_](https://www.thehairpin.com/tag/ask-a-clean-person/) (RIP)\n- _[My Boyfriend Barfed in My Handbag\u2026 and Other Things You Can\u2019t Ask Martha](https://www.amazon.com/Boyfriend-Barfed-Handbag-Things-Martha/dp/0142196932)_, Jolie\u2019s bestselling book\n- [How to wash a chest binder and avoid shirt stains after top surgery](https://www.acast.com/askacleanperson/ep126-bindingoptions)\n- [Hand-wash your bras already](https://www.racked.com/2015/10/9/9463285/bra-washing-guide) (hahahahaha jk jk we\u2019re using a mesh bag)\n- [Hygge](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-year-of-hygge-the-danish-obsession-with-getting-cozy) versus [KonMari](https://konmari.com/)\n\nAlso in this episode: Jenn shares some big news, Katel spends all her Swiss Francs on frites, and Sara shops for a therapist\u2014with the help of Katel\u2019s therapist (who we all [met last season](http://www.noyougoshow.com/podcast/s2e5/)).\n\n## Sponsors\n\nThis episode of NYG is brought to you by:\n\n[](https://www.shopify.com/careers)\n\n_[Shopify](https://www.shopify.com/careers), a leading global commerce platform that\u2019s building a world-class team to define the future of entrepreneurship.
