Three years ago, two brides and a ‘detective’ friend released a true-crime series in which they visited zoos, tracked submarines and interrogated guests. Now, it’s a word-of-mouth smash
“If someone asked me about my wedding, the first thing that would come to my mind would be the bathroom,” says Karen Whitehouse. It is not the answer most people would give, but most people haven’t had the misfortune to find poop on the floor of the women’s loo at their wedding reception. And, from the small number who have, even fewer have made a hit podcast about it.
Who Shat on the Floor at My Wedding? is a 13-part “poodunnit” from Whitehouse, her wife, Helen McLaughlin, and their friend Lauren Kilby, in which they grill friends and family in an attempt to find out who was responsible. First released in 2020, it has recently raced to the top of the Apple podcast charts in the UK – thanks to the website still known as Twitter at the time of writing. The social media network’s users boosted listeners from the hundreds of thousands to the millions.
