In this episode, Allen gives updates on The Blind Side of Safety (now in paperback) and Work Comp for Safety & HR for Idiots. But this isn’t just about books — it’s about health, humanity, and the hazards of lazy labeling.
From boosting your immunity for “snot rocket season” (without swapping your meds for tree bark and garlic cloves) to remembering the workers lost in Colorado and Alabama, Allen blends sarcasm with serious lessons. He dives into why compassion drives people into danger, why tragedies shouldn’t be written off as “ignoring safety,” and why slapping political or religious labels on individuals is lazy, destructive, and dangerous.
And yes — he explains why nobody wants their obituary to read: “He died trying to get swole and sexy at the same time.”
Listen in for humor, honesty, and a reminder this Labor Day that safety, health, and compassion don’t belong to one label, one party, or one industry — they belong to all of us.
Allen Woffard is the unapologetically bold voice behind the Diary of a Bald Man podcast, known for his candid humor and no-nonsense takes on life, safety, and HR. As the author of "The Blind Side of Safety," now available in both paperback and Kindle, Allen invites fans to grab a signed "limited edition"—complete with his trademark coffee spills. His latest book, "Work Comp for Safety and HR for Idiots," is already stirring up interest not just among safety and HR pros, but also with trainers and educators across industries. Whether you stumble upon his irreverent musings or seek them out, Allen’s mission is simple: to shake up the world of workplace safety with wit, honesty, and a healthy dose of mischief.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
