Doodie Calls with Doug Mand

This post should be interesting because whenever I suggest this podcast to anyone, it is often quite polarizing.  You either love shit stories or you don't, and you can definitely put me deep into the first category.

Doodie Calls is a podcast by Doug Mand and his co-host Jack Dolgen that explores the taboo and unexplored world of shit stories.  With the perfect level of humor and compassion, the hosts bring in a new guest every week to share his/her shit story with the world.  At first, this sounds like a distasteful premise for gross people, but really I think it's far more interesting than most would give it credit.

The real fascination with the show is just how cathartic it is.  With every episode, the listener sits in on one of the guest's most intimate and vulnerable moments of their lives.  The stories often go into a roller coaster of emotions with a sense of panic, stress, relief or crushing embarrassment.  Though the situations and outcomes can often be down right absurd, underlying most of the stories is the sense that it could happen to anybody.
