Author of Poop Culture - Dave Praeger

Shawn, The Puru, sits down with Dave Praeger, whose book “Poop Culture: How America Is Shaped by Its Grossest National Product,” catalyzed The POOP Project. Creator of Poop Report, the web’s first intellectual hub for scatology, Praeger details how a humorous side project became a full-fledged (and highly researched) book, how poop’s contaminating effect has led him to create a secret identity, and why he eventually got out of the “business.” Mentioned in Podcast: Shawn Shafner, Dave Praeger, Poop, S**t, Shame, Taboos, Potty, Squatty Potty, Poop Report, Poop Culture, Marketing, Contamination Theory, Aurora, Denver, Colorado, Jamie Benson, Drudge Report, Dominique LaPorte, History of S**t, Francois Rabelais, Geoffrey Chaucer, Jonathan Swift, Le Petomaine, Fartiste, Moulin Rouge
