We go on location and visit the bathroom of friend of the show Austin Kent. There, we discuss working in corrections, the things we are willing to sniff, and how locking bathroom and stall doors could help avoid traumatizing someone's grandma.

Intro and Outro:

Thomas Crapper is often cited as the inventor of the flush toilet. Turns out, he wasn't. Even more importantly, he isn't even the reason for the word crap. But, he did make some pretty important toilet innovations! Find out more on this "crappy" episode.

Have you ever been browsing your local bookstore and had the sudden and intense urge to go poop? Well, apparently lots of folks had, so much so they named the phenomenon. This week we look at it, discuss the poor lady it's named after, and suggest that perhaps this phenomenon extends past bookstores in another "Hunter's Anecdotes to Keep You Afloats."

Thanks for listening!

We're joined in bathroom by Jude Dominy who has a lot to teach us about alternative uses for bar soap, how to play the long game when someone doesn't clean their hair out of the shower, and what it's like to have uncontrollable diarrhea on your front lawn.

Intro and Outro:

This week, we are talking about all the things we can learn from our poo. From medical analysis to personal habits, there's a lot going on. People have long kept track of their bathrooming, and I report on my findings after 1 year of logging every BM I had in a special edition of Craptastic Apps. Also, Covid has caused a new type of surveillance which we observe in Poo in the News.

Fecal matter is not what most would think of when they think of medical treatment, unless you were in Ancient Egypt. From burns, to eye problems, to lack of strength; poop was used in a lot of the cures. This week, we explore those cures, and take a look at why they may have had them in the first place.

Showers are great, but it turns out, they haven't been around that long. At least, not the ones we know and love today. How did an inventor, an immigrant, and concern for public safety bring us the best way to get clean, and one of the most concerning Hunter's Anecdotes to date? All in this episode of Privy!

This week, very special guest Ana Hoover tells us what it's like sharing a bathroom with someone who is very bathroom forward. Also, we learn about some of the host's poor toilet paper habits from the most informed source around.

This week, in celebration of Plumpsatommy being yanked from his slumber hole, we talk about wombats, and what the heck is up with they butts. These are magnificent creatures, with magnificent leavings.

We had the pleasure of chatting with Jason Powell, who shared the ins and outs of bathrooming while on the job farming. He also reveals his feelings on waffle stomping, and introduces Hunter to the idea of having a cold beverage in the shower. Oh and he tells a story of a close call from his not so distant past.
