In this super mega pod Don and Ben are joined by another special guest, but this time it's Don who has to do the guessing. Larry Goodridge from the University of Guelph, one of Ben's oldest food safety friends joins the show. The three talk about Canadians abroad (and patriotism during the Olympics), other Canadian food safety friends and of course, the Tragically Hip. The conversation goes to a Canadian salmonellosis outbreak linked to frozen corn (and all the confusing communication around it). As all three have interest in the food safety impacts of the pandemic, they talk about recalls, waste water and food as fomites. The big topic of the show is about racial inequality in academics, research and higher education. Larry talks through his experiences and everyone chats about what they are doing to address the big problem.
