The show opens with some hurricane safety talk, but quickly moves to discussion of an email that Ben recently received relating to some microbiological tests on water and hypothetically related illnesses. The guys do a deep dive on communicating risk in the midst of uncertainty. Listener feedback focuses on fake whiskey, standards for foreign objects in food, refrigerator temperature monitoring, toxicology of recyclable bowls, the volume of hot air hand dryers, food safety culture, and the risks posed by hotels and airports.
