Privycast

This week, we catch up with an old friend. It comes to light that the world is smaller than we thought, ferns and pine branch make decent wiping material, and being a kid is tougher than it seems. Oh also...sometimes what seems like a turd, is really a tasty treat!

Intro and Outro:

Soap is one of those things we take for granted. However, it was likely discovered on accident. We discuss a brief history of soap, and find out a lot of what we call soap today, isn't technically soap at all.

There's lots of smells in the world, many of which come out of our bodies. One of the most peculiar, is pee smell. Why does asparagus make it smell like asparagus? Why does Hunter smell urine when he smells popcorn sometimes? Answers to these and more in this episode on why our pee smells.

This week, I crash another friend's house to talk all things bathroom. We discuss the woes of police work as it relates to bathrooming, amongst other things. In short, we learn that the world is your bathroom when you need it to be. 

Big thanks to Gavin Low for having the pod over!

Intro and Outro:

May 4th was Star Wars day. For a media franchise that has been around as long as it has been, and having produced as much media as it has, you would think there would be a lot more data on bathrooms in the world of Star Wars. This episode, we take a look at how Jabba the Hut might do his deeds and discuss briefly why it took over 40 years to show a "refresher" on screen.

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.
