Why this man wants us to stop using toil...

About this episode

We’ve all got a butthole, but why are we so afraid to talk about it without making a joke of it?

Professor Richard Hillman is one of the few specialists in Australia in anus cancer and he thinks it’s time we open up about the health of our rear ends. 

In today’s episode of The Briefing, Sacha Barbour Gatt speaks with the professor about anal hygiene, the case for banning toilet paper and why we need to end the stigma and shame around out buttholes.
