From the Radiolab podcast: What happens between our mouths and our butts?

In this episode from 2012, we dive into the messy mystery in the middle of us. What's going on in there? And what can the rumblings deep in our bellies tell us about ourselves?

We join author Mary Roach and reach inside a live cow's stomach. We talk to writer Frederick Kaufman about our first peek into the wonderful world of human digestion that came about thanks to a hunting accident. And we explore with show regular, science writer and fellow water drinker Carl Zimmer, the trillions of microscopic creatures that keep us regulated, physically, but also, maybe, emotionally and spiritually.
