In our PodCon episode, the Stool Pigeons take a tour through Seattle's underground tunnel system. It was created partially as a response to the poop problems of Seattle's early days, so there's a lot of good nuggets.

Today the pidgeys take a dive into the history of one of humanity's oldest and most deadly diseases: cholera. We also learn about wombats and why they poop cubes.

What were bathrooms like in olden times? Where did the poo go? The answers may make you appreciate plumbing just a bit more. Also the final word on who wiped king's butt. Hint: It wasn't the king.

Yikes, another few month hiatus, another update on the latest medical treatments for butt issues, from the unfortunate vantage point of our own lives. Also, some poo updates from Jolly Old England, where apparently they have a more healthy relationship with butts - er, bums - than we do here in America.

After a long hiatus, the Stool Pigeons are back. Life may have gotten in the way of making a podcast, but it didn't stop poop from happening to Mike and Tiffany. In this episode, we break our #1 rule of not making this podcast about us talking about our own poop, but it's good material so it's worth it. Mike talks about his experience on the Low FODMAP diet to help with his GI issues, and Tiffany tells a harrowing tale of what happens to your butt when you have a baby.  Theme music: I Feel Fantastic by Jonathan Coulton, www.jonathancoulton.com

Hey all! Sorry we sort of disappeared off the face of the earth for a while. As we prepare to get Stool Pigeons back on your inter-waves, we thought we'd give you this special episode, one that we recorded back in October and never released. In it, we talk about Frankenberry, poop cafes, what happens when you have pets and Roombas, and more. Enjoy The Lost Episode, and new Stool Pigeons will be coming soon! Theme music: I Feel Fantastic by Jonathan Coulton, www.jonathancoulton.com

Today we have our second guest for The Friend in the Next Stall. Becky has been a Madison taxicab driver for 13 years, and no one can deal with drunk people on a daily basis for that much time and not have collected a few good poop stories! Hear about how taxi drivers deal with poop... their passengers' and their own, the best places to go at 4 in the morning, and Becky's recommendations for keeping regular on the job. The Pigeons also discuss the etiquette of pooping at a friend's house, and learn who has been secretly clogging your toilet all these years.   Theme music: I Feel Fantastic by Jonathan Coulton, www.jonathancoulton.com

There are a lot of butts on TV these days, but one show goes above and beyond to portray butt stuff in a positive (pottytive) light. Bob's Burgers is a shining light in the field of poo normalization and butt-punnery, so in this week's Stool Pigeons we embark on a comprehensive review of the best butt- and poop-themed episodes of this animated masterpiece. Two-butted goats, butts glued to toilet seats, and whale secretions may or may not make and appearance, Mike and Tiffany concede the title of World's Greatest Poo-punners to the Bob's Burgers writers, and we finally learn what the Stool Pigeons wear while doing their business.   Theme music: I Feel Fantastic by Jonathan Coulton, www.jonathancoulton.com

Today we discuss one of earth's most important natural resources: Bird dung. In the second half of the 1800s, bird guano was one of the world's most used plant fertilizers. It was harvested off tiny islands in the Pacific and Caribbean and shipped worldwide. A war was even fought over this incredible substance. Find out more about bird guano, and how it relates to James Franco, on this week's Stool Pigeons!   Theme music: I Feel Fantastic by Jonathan Coulton, www.jonathancoulton.com
