We've all been there, running around the city, looking for a bathroom, but unable to find one. Yeah, a restroom we could use. A very simple free market solution is that we could just pay to use a bathroom, but we can't. On the Planet Money podcast, the story of how we once had thousands of paid toilets and why they got banned. From Planet Money on NPR, wherever you get your podcasts.

There was a certain sense of there were a few people I had either meant to interview or had sort of got to know in the interim. And I thought I would have naturally interviewed them when I'd done this podcast before. So maybe now is an opportunity to to kind of scoop them up. It really has always been the case with the podcast. It's something I've done regularly.

I don't mean to minimise it, but it's almost been a hobby, like a sideline, like a sort of thing I've done for pleasure when I've had a moment. It's never been my principal job. So it was just a sort of moment of opportunity.

Yeah, there's certainly there's definitely a bit of that, a bit of there are some slightly odd things about being in this profession and what it sort of does to your life outside the work. that is the sort of bit you don't get trained for at a drama school. You know, one of the sort of side effects of being successful as an actor, I suppose, is that you lose an element of anonymity.

And I found that personally quite challenging when it happened to me. So I'm always quite intrigued to know how others have dealt with that or are dealing with that or kind of characterise what that does to them and the people around them. But it's a mix. Yes, it's always a mixture of impulses, I think.

Yeah, absolutely. Yes, and moments like that are quite peculiar. Yes, perhaps that's stating the obvious. But I'm always quite intrigued to know if other people have had similar experiences or how they would have dealt with experiences like that.
