Get Flushed
Get Flushed Limited
Sanitation (the management of human faeces, urine and menstrual blood) might not sound like an appetising topic for a podcast, but the truth is, everybody has to go to the bathroom. The lack of proper sanitation is recognised as one of the biggest threats facing the world today. The problem is not simply confined to emerging nations or remote communities. It affects us all. Originally created to help portable restroom operators improve their performance, Get Flushed has become the place for serious conversations about sanitation. In each episode, host Pete explores the mechanics of the global sanitation industry and pushes to improve restroom standards for all. Get Flushed shares the knowledge, skills and experiences of toilet users, manufacturers, restroom operators, engineers, researchers and sanitation champions to improve the performance of sanitation-based businesses worldwide.
Remembering David Andres
I’m very sorry to tell you all that my good friend, sanitation expert, podcast collaborator, bon viveur and fellow raconteur David Andres passed away suddenly from natural causes at his home in Houston on 7th January.  He was 57 years old. This episode is an abridged version of Dave's account of the sanitation response at Ground Zero following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre on 9-11. It was originally published in 2021 on the 20th anniversary of those attacks.I’d like to send my condolences and thoughts to Dave’s children, Jackson, Madison and Hayley, his wider family and his many many friends and colleagues around the world.  God Bless you Dave, I’ll miss you man.
