I have a garden cabin which has a bucket toilet which we empty manually. Will the Subpod handle human shit/faeces/poo/poop?

The Subpod is perfectly capable of composting human faeces and other manures as long as sufficient dry carbon is added to balance the moisture and the high nitrogen content of the faeces.  
We recommend you have a separate Subpod that you use solely for this purpose as there is a small risk if the Subpod compost is being used to grow food for human consumption.  The vermiculture process is a cooler composting process and won’t kill all human pathogens.  You could use the compost from this Subpod to fertilize plants that are not being eaten by humans.

Also if the person is taking antibiotics this could kill some of the microbes and temporarily diminish the performance of the system.
