Keep Pooping in the Free World with Sam Baggenstos (Privychat 8) 15.06.2022

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!

Why Does My Pee Smell? 25.05.2022

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?

May the Flush Be with You (Star Wars Refreshers) 05.05.2022

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. -- Connect: privycast@gmai...

Oh Crap! It’s Thomas Crapper. 15.04.2022

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.

The Mariko Aoki Phenomenon 05.04.2022

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! -- Connect with us: priv...

Carving Messages into the Bar Soap with Jude Dominy (Privychat 5) 25.03.2022

Potty Logs and Stool Samples 15.03.2022

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.

Also, Covid has caused a new type of surveillance which we observe in Poo in the News. -- Connect: pri...

Rub Some Dung on it: Ancient Egyptian Medical Remedies from the Ebers Papyrus 05.03.2022

The History and Etiquette of Taking a Shower 25.02.2022

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?
