During the summer break, the 15-Minute History podcast team are republishing some of their favorite episodes. This episode and discussion on Thomas Crapper originally aired on February 22, 2021. __ The concept of moving water from one place to the other has been on the minds of humans since their creation. Conversely, the desire to move soiled water away automatically has – at times – been considered equally important. The means by which this could be done has evolved as civilizations have come and gone. In all of them, a basic pattern emerged in plumbing conception and construction: the path, the pipe, and the seal. Join us as we teach you a brief history of plumbing, its evolution through the ages, and the influence of Thomas Crapper on plumbing technology and sanitation practices.

Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler's bestseller ‘Nudge' was released on 8th April, 2008, catapulting a new method of behavioural economics into the public psyche - and the hands of policymakers, including David Cameron and Barack Obama. The book challenged the notion of humans as rational decision-makers, and explained how companies, governments and individuals can ‘nudge' people towards healthier habits, responsible financial decisions, or civic engagement if ‘decisions' are framed in the right context - a technique they called "libertarian paternalism." In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly ask just how effective nudge theory really is; explain how the project was inspired by a bowl of cashew nuts; and discover how Thomas Crapper was centuries ahead of his time… Further Reading: • ‘Nudge theory: what 15 years of research tells us about its promises and politics' (The Conversation, 2023): https://theconversation.com/nudge-theory-what-15-years-of-research-tells-us-about-its-promises-and-politics-210534 • ‘The nudge unit – has it worked so far?'

Most societies have a complex relationship with human poop. It brings up all kinds of emotions: disgust, fascination, shame, happiness, relief, and even pride. It's something we can all relate to though. Everyone poops! Visit Mr. Toilet House in Suwon, South Korea where visitors from all over the world come to learn about the history of human waste. Dr. Shannon Yee is taking on Thomas Crapper for a place in the Toilets Hall of Fame. He has designed a toilet that takes the water almost completely out of the equation. Lina Zeldovich is no stranger to talking about poop-back in Russian her grandfather used their waste as compost and now she has literally written the book on poop, it's called The Other Dark Matter. Lindsay Stradley saw firsthand how combining water with human waste can lead to serious problems. She resolved to improve urban sanitation and started Sanergy, a company that provides container-based facilities and now serves over 150,000 Nairobi residents.

It happens all the time–at least to Kurt it does–there you are, sitting at a dinner regaling everyone with curious and interesting facts. Like where f.u.c.# comes from. Or the length of Twinkies half-life. Or the toilet was invented by Thomas Crapper. You know, the great stories that people love to hear. The problem is, what happens all the time is some kill joy of a person decides to tell the crowd how these facts are just not true. And then they prove it. Social fun balloon now popped. Well, Kurt and Jon in this episode aim to get all these “false fun facts” out in the open all at once, so the others you hear at the next party will for sure have to be true.
It's a classic catch-up with mom that starts with a dramatic reading of her viral short story Old Blue, becomes an announcement that her third New York Times bestseller Vacuuming in the Nude will be available as an audiobook on this podcast, and then somehow devolves into a scatological story-swap evoking the Thomas Crapper episode.

Alex, Matt, and Rocco each break down a favorite project that Steven Spielberg almost made throughout his long and storied career. An incredibly expensive adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's Robopocalypse is Alex's pick, since he once got a moment to discuss the project with Michael Bay, who inherited the script (and some leftover sets) from Spielberg. Matt reveals Spielberg's fascination with modern toilet innovator, Thomas Crapper, and a possible film based on the book Flushed with Pride, before diving deep on what SHREK would have looked like if Spielberg made it back in the 1990s with Bill Murray and Steve Martin.Then, Rocco brings in a Michael Crichton adaptation of PIRATE LATITUDES, a no-fun realism take on PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN that sounds like it was based on Jimmy Buffett song (even if it wasn't).And that's the end of our new mini-marathon, folks!

Thomas Crapper is often cited as the inventor of the flush toilet. Turns out, he wasn't. Even more importantly, he isn't even the reason for the word crap.

Saving Water with Nigel Codman from Novaloo Saving water is Nigel Codman's mission. Not long back, Nigel was in a conversation with a 35 year head of purchasing veteran for a multi-national company who declared she'd never had a conversation about toilets. Nor had she ever been as excited about toilets. Frankly, Nigel could sell anything. But, he decided to save the world by saving water one flush at a time. SCHOOLBOY JOKE ALERT Who invented the toilet? Answer, Thomas Crapper. His design, 140 years ago, was to put enough water in a cistern, high enough up, and let that water fall down into a bowl and it would clean that bowl. Since then, people have been trying to reduce the amount of water used by toilets. Currently, toilets use 9 litres per flush. Nigel cautions people NOT to fill up a plastic milk bottle, stick it in the cistern to try reduce water usage. All you'd be doing is impairing the design of the toilet. If it was designed for 9 litres, then 7 litres won't do the job. Introducing Nigel's Saving Water Toilet http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Nigel-Codman-Saving-Water.mp4 His toilets save as much as 85% of the typical 9 litre flush that legacy toilets use. Check out the Propelair Toilet. You have probably stopped at one of the service stations that have installed these types of toilet. Imagine their saving, when they are being used round the clock with 60 cubicles between male and female toilets. Each toilet will see 240 flushes per day. THE MATHS - Save 7.5 litres per flush. 60 toilets. 240 flushes per day. That saves 39.4 MILLION litres per year. And that's just one service station. The Last Bastion of Corporate Social Responsibility is SAVING WATER Payback within 2 years or even 10 months - surely that will excite a CFO. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Saving-Water-CSR-ROI.mp4 Other Benefits Nigel makes the point that it is not just about saving water. That's the main thing, save water, save money. However, you are also saving carbon. A much lesser amount of water is going down to the water treatment plants, so they save carbon on how they treat the water. In the last 18 months, hygiene has come to the fore. When SARS hit us in 2003, scientists discovered that transmission came from toilets. By using the toilet, the virus was off-loaded so to speak. That's fine, providing you SHUT THE LID. But the contents of the bowl get agitated when the toilet is flushed. The Propelair toilet will not flush until the seat is firmly down. This prevents airborne viruses spreading on flush. Not so much in regular toilets. You've been warned. Shut the damn lid! A plume of air from a flushed toilet will rise 1.5 metres. It contains micro-molecules of water. All will contain bacteria and viruses in the droplets. They hit the walls of the cubicle/WC. Worse, they stay there for about 48 hours. Good God, run for your lives! You'd think for purchasing managers, this is an easy decision. So what is stopping them? Objections http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Saving-Water-Handling-Objections.mp4 The Propelair toilet blows our and water down into the bowl. The air is vented off so it's prevented from going into the drainage system. An alternative solution is the suck principle. They are complex to engineer into a commercial property. Propelair is about twice the cost of a standard commercial toilet. Some hospitals have toilets without lids! Who's to say that toilets aren't the root of the circulation of viruses in hospitals.

Sophie (age 7) and Ellie (age 5) tell the history of the toilet.----more---- They start with toilets in the stone age including toilets of hunter gatherers and then those of the early settlements like that of Skara Brae. When cities are first built by the Mesopotamians and later the Greeks toilets become more sophisticated. They have pipes and drains. However, it is the Romans who take toilets to a whole new level. We hear how they built public toilets which were beautiful. Even among all the beauty though, wiping your bum was still a pretty disgusting process. The Romans did not even go to the toilet when they had banquets. Instead slaves would bring them pots to wee in at the table! The Medieval period saw more privacy with curtains put around toilets. But the poo needed to go somewhere. So builders of castles built toilet shutes down the side of castle walls which helped fill the moat with poo. That did not bother the French though who stormed one castle by climbing soldiers up the toilet shute into the castle and capturing it from the English. People living in medieval towns also had to get rid of their poo. They just used to through it out of the window onto the street. People would shout in French “guardez l’eau” which meant “watch out for the water”. But English people would pronounce it “Gardy Loo” and eventually just “loo” which is how English people started called toilets “the loo”. Kings eventually banned this because it made the cities smell and built some drains. Meanwhile in 1596, Sir John Harington invented the first flushing toilet. He even gave one to Queen Elizabeth I as a present. Today when Americans talk about going to the “John” then are remembering Sir John Harington. The Victorians made more flushing toilets and started to build sewers in London after there was a heatwave which caused a massive stink. Then a man called Thomas Crapper makes lots of toilets, including for the King. He even puts his name on his toilets. Eventually in the 20th century toilet paper was invented. Now we have toilet paper to wipe out bum, flushing toilets to take the poo out of the house, and sewers to take the poo out of the street. PARENTS’ NOTE We use the terms “poo” and “wee”.

Melody and Taunya are beginning to recover from the Holiday season, and exhaustion is still quite evident. Taunya mistakenly calls this episode 3, but we decided to keep it as a testament to our exhaustion. We start off with a little literal potty humor (sorry about that). For those that would like to know more about the fascinating Thomas Crapper, here is is wikipedia page. In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Crapperthis episode we discuss the digestive biscuit, a common item in the U.K. but now real known in the states--the sisters want to put a little spotlight on this delicious and healthy biscuit. The first item Taunya introduces is a graham cracker recipe. The graham cracker is the closest Americans have to the digestive biscuit. This recipe comes from King Arthur flour. TAUNYA'S OPTIONAL MODIFICATIONS: Double the amount of cinnamon if you wish. Substitute 1/2 of the white sugar with brown sugar. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/graham-crackers-recipe The second item that Taunya presents is a more traditional digestive biscuit from Jamie Oliver. TAUNYA'S OPTIONAL MODIFICATIONS: Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and grind the oats in a food processor or a seed mill. http://www.jamieoliver.com/news-and-features/features/homemade-digestive-biscuits/
Wanna know how your floating ball cock measures up? In this episode, Shawn “The Puru” Shafner sits down with Rachel “The Loo Lady” Erickson. Rachel spent the past few years leading critically-acclaimed Loo Tours in London. Now back in the States, The Loo Lady explains how her unwillingness to pay-per-pee led to a full time job in the john, and trades toilet stories with The Puru, from ancient Rome through Medieval Europe and the modern day. Oh, and if you want to check out someone’s floating ball cock, just look inside their toilet tank!
