Episode 04 (The Podcast, the Past, and the Produce) of Confessions of a Food Safety A**Hole Gennette and Darin go behind the scenes of the show, of food systems, and even history itself. From unpacking their Four A’s framework to a theatrical discussion with 1906 activist Olive Christian Malvery, and finally to a boots-on-the-ground visit to farms and packaging facilities, this episode is all about what happens when you look past the surface and who’s still doing the work when no one’s watching.

Confessions of a Food Safety A**hole
with Dr. Darin Detwiler and
Gennette Zimmer
A podcast about the realities of stepping up and speaking out to Protect Every Plate.
Confessions of a Food Safety A**Hole is a raw, honest, and surprisingly light listen about a serious subject: the failures that still threaten the safety of the food we eat. Hosted by Dr. Darin Detwiler—a man who turned personal tragedy into decades of public advocacy—and his wife Gennette Zimmer; this podcast pulls no punches. Together, they unpack the moments when speaking up wasn’t popular, but absolutely necessary. From the lens of experiencing every day food safety failures, Darin shares what it’s really like to challenge the system from the inside out.
Equal parts storytelling, reflection, and real talk, Confessions is for anyone who’s ever wondered why preventable tragedies still happen—and what it takes to stop them.
Because silence might be easier, but it’s never safer.
