Love the current series you are doing with the food safety authors. It has been a great, fun, informative series.
“it’s good to educate the public about food safety.”
After an episode on Salmonella, I wasted time. Go to Wikipedia for an education instead of this podcast. This is the second podcast on food protection by experts that just waste the listener‘s time.
I hope there is one by someone who knows how to put a program together and how to interview experts.
Why should I subscribe to a magazine when the speakers waste my time, and there is much on the internet.

As a relatively junior food safety professional, this podcast has been the professional development I needed and previously would not have had access to. I love listening to the speakers, they are my mentors without me ever having met them. Their insights help me to grow both technically and personally into the food safety professional I want to be.
What a valuable resource this podcast is. I appreciate the deep library of past episodes. Since my background is in other areas of the food industry, I don’t have a large professional network specific to food safety/food manufacturing. The conversations on this podcast is a great supplement and is awesome for exposing me to new concepts.
