Has any city figured out public toilets?

October 17, 2019 / 12:04 am

On this episode we try and figure out if any city in the world has figured out public toilets and what Seattle can learn.

We went on the search. Listeners sent in their reviews of potties around the world. We discovered that the key to good public toilets isn't necessarily the toilets themselves — it's us.
