A Podcast Of Unnecessary Detail

Flush and Forget

In this episode, Steve discovers the greedy cup siphon hiding inside your loo, Matt delves into Joseph Bazalgette’s calculations for London’s sewer system and Helen teaches everyone how to flush a toilet, through the medium of song:- Steve's bit (00:48)- Helen's bit (11:48)- Matt's bit (28:03) SHOW NOTES: Unfortunately our show notes are too big for Acast's margins to contain... head to the <a href="https://festivalofthespokennerd.com/podcast/episode-01-flush-and-forget/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">episode page</a> to see everything. Corrections and clarifications:- None, so far. But we have been sent some fantastic sewer tour suggestions, and a range of toilet flush photos from around the world, so we've updated the <a href="https://festivalofthespokennerd.com/podcast/episode-01-flush-and-forget/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">episode page</a> with all of that.
