About the Episode

From birds to elephants, poop is the one thing that we have in common with the animal kingdom. But does studying it come at a price? We’re not even sure anymore.

Sierra rants about corn while Colin tells horrible dad jokes and expands on some *crappy* research. (Get it?) Join us as we talk about a topic that probably most podcasts have never covered!
