Why I Wrote A Book About Toilets Paul and Jesse discuss the complex politics of the public toilet with Lezlie Lowe. She’s a Nova Scotia-based freelance news columnist, feature writer, radio documentary maker and Journalism teacher with an above average interest in public restrooms. Her new book “No Place To Go - How Public Toilets Fail Our Private Needs” demonstrates why public bathrooms are hot spots of social action: Who gets access and who doesn’t? Who uses public restrooms and why? They discuss trans access, the gender politics of bathroom design and use, and some of Lezlie’s favorites public bathrooms. Lezlie also gives up some details about her next book. What We’re Reading Jesse recommends “To the Lighthouse” by Virginia Woolf. Lezlie recommends “The Fruitful City: The Enduring Power of the Urban Food Forest” by Helena Moncrieff and “Halifax Warden of the North” by Thomas Raddall. Paul recommends “The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic – and How it Changed Science, Cities and the Modern World” by Steven Berlin Johnson. *Event Announcement: Hi podcast listener!
