This week we are discussing the life of a lawyer, poet and inventor from the Tudor era called John Harington.
When banished from the court of his godmother Queen Elizabeth for saucy translations John had five years to contemplate life, and he came to the conclusion that his life could be made measurably better if he was able to poo in comfort.
So he set about trying to come up with an improved defecation system, one that he would eventually present to the Queen herself.
Would she like it? Would John be allowed to return to court? And what exactly is a 'Gong Farmer'?
Join us to find out. Now with 30% more conversations about poo!
