    Tentacle Talk - Why do we Flush? with Kirk and Alex

    Ok. Full disclosure. This has almost nothing to do with Lovecraftian horror. It's a short history of toilet flushing. Kirk and Alex, having finished the six book CitDS series, are casting about for their next endeavor. This is a foray into the "Edutainment" style of podcast, and, frankly, this feed is where it makes the most sense and will get the most listens.  If you dig it, please let us know! It's a rough draft of whatever this concept could become, but we had a good time reading and talking about the removal of human shit from our homes.  You can always email us with thoughts at missingsocknetwork@gmail.com  Thanks for listening.  *flush noise*
