Someone’s in Here Podcast: Making Number Two Is The Show’s # 1 Priority

A podcast with the title Someone’s In Here will unleash a torrent of scatological humor. We can’t help it. Poop — and pee — fascinate us. Look, I succumbed to the temptation with my title.

Although the subject of poop is often the object of titters and belly laughs, Someone’s In Here has more serious concerns in its mind. It’s not that the host, Ben Castleman, doesn’t have a sense of humor. He does. But the show is more about our relationship to these bodily functions and what they say about us.

Here’s the marketing pitch for the show: “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 porn stars 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.”

Ben Castleman begins the podcast with an episode about his family and their relationship with poop. The episode is titled “The poop Family.”…
