Welcome back to Diary of a Bald Man! In today’s episode, titled “The Apology Tour,” host Allen Woffard peels back the curtain on where he’s been, why the podcast took a brief hiatus, and what’s been happening behind the scenes. Allen shares candid updates about the show missing out on the recent People's Choice Podcast Awards, reflects on his global listener community, and addresses personal challenges—including a stint overseas, a battle with health issues, and the deep dive into his years-in-the-making book project.
He opens up about using AI tools to organize his massive manuscript, leading to the birth of the new “Broken Compass” book series—which focuses on stories, lessons, and the very real struggles and triumphs of contractors, safety professionals, and anyone feeling burnt out.
This episode isn’t just about Allen’s journey; it’s an invitation for listeners to reconnect, check out new resources and guides, and become part of the evolving Diary of a Bald Man community. Tune in for heartfelt apologies, hard-earned wisdom, personal stories, and a little bit of humor, asAllen reminds us all to plan, prepare, communicate, and engage—no matter where we are on our own paths.

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.
