Someone’s In Here explores our cultural relationship to the bathroom; a topic that everyone can relate to but one that is almost never treated with the dignity that it deserves. The podcast follows host Ben Castleman on a journey as he talks to family, friends, scientists, doctors, CEOs, and even pornstars to figure out why talking about the bathroom, especially talking about poop, is so taboo and if it should be. While these conversations are almost always funny, they also examine the lessons and stories that we’re missing out on by not taking sh*t seriously. We hope you’ll come along for the ride.

This week, a story about coalition building, people uniting through struggle, what it means to live in dignity and what happens to the fruit cups that Pret a Manger doesn't sell.

About Someone's in Here
Hi! My name is Ben Castleman and I talk and think about the bathroom a lot. My dad had his colon removed before I was born, so I've always been comfortable talking about the bathroom and as I've developed some intestinal issues of my own (IBS-D) I couldn't help but wonder why talking about the bathroom, especially poop, was taboo. I'm going on a journey to figure out why this is a taboo topic and if it should be. So if you want to laugh, hear some good stories, and have your own poop positivity moment, join me.
