Transcript
Support for NPR. Attention! A PSA from Shortwave, NPR science podcast. You need to be paying more attention to your poop. I really do think that this deep stigma we have about talking about pooping is tied to these early-onset colorectal cancer cases. What to watch out for and how to decode the secret messages hidden in your poop. On Shortwave, listen on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.
