The National Geographic TV show I interviewed with back in July is finally airing. It’s called Flushed, and it’s part of NatGeo’s series on “Everyday Things.” It’s been showing for a week or two now, and the producer tells me it’s a big success (although he laments the fact that the team did a lousy job of alerting their interviewees to its imminent broadcast). The NatGeo site tells you when it will be rebroadcast — and if the producer is right, it will be rebroadcast a lot.

In more Dave news, Angie’s List Magazine recently dedicated a whole issue to the toilet. I was interviewed for the feature article, which boasts a big ol’ picture of my handsome mug. They quote me at length pontificating about the Victorian origins of the flush toilet as a tool of elitism — one of the major themes of Poop Culture. Which means the article acts as a good introduction to what you’ll get in April when the book finally comes out. Give it a read — my part starts on page sixteen.

Last Wednesday I did an interview with SpikeTV for their upcoming show MANswers. There’s not much online about the show yet, but from what I can gather, it’s like Mythbusters “for men” — that is, it answers questions that Johnny Fratboy has always pondered. My segment, for instance, was to answer the burning question of our times: can you die from pooping?

The interview took place at Union Hall, a classy bar/bocce parlor here in Brooklyn. I got pictures with my phonecam — the quality of which, unfortunately, turned out to be comparable to the subject of my book.

You’re just going to have to trust the fact that that’s me, and that I look like a movie star.
