We've been trying to push this show out for quite a while now. It's been a bit of a strain, and we got kind of backed up.

But, this hour, we let loose a long look at... constipation.

It should be a big relief for everyone involved.

This show is the 19th part of a new experiment: Radio for the Deaf. Watch a simulcast of signers from Source Interpreting interpreting our radio broadcast in American Sign Language on Facebook Live.

GUESTS:

  • Stefan Marianski - Education director at the Freud Museum London
  • Eric Metaxas - Author of Martin Luther: The Man Who Rediscovered God and Changed the World
  • Satish Rao - Director of the Digestive Health Clinical Research Center at Augusta University
  • Mary Roach - One of the world's leading popular science writers; her most recent book is Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War, and she's the author of Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal

Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Betsy Kaplan, Tucker Ives, and Chion Wolf contributed to this show, which originally aired on January 25, 2018.
