Hotel Horrors

Every night, close to five million people spend the night away from home in accommodations, like hotels. With a number that large, there’s bound to be problems. Most of the time, they are easy to solve. On this week's Super Awesome Science Show, we’re going to look how a hotel stay may be a bane rather than a place for comfort.  

We first talk with John Catucci. He’s best known hosting Food Network Canada's You Gotta Eat Here! and his most recent series, Big Food Bucket List. He’s travelled all over the world and has a few tales to recount ranging from the gross to the supernatural.  

Our next guest provides us with some clues as to why we may feel we’re getting a great place based on the reviews only to be welcomed by a horror show. He’s Christopher Harris and he is an Assistant Professor at the University of Northern Colorado. He’s been researching hotel reviews and has attempted to figure out how to identify those that are fake. He also has been a hotel owner and shares some of his own horror stories from the other side of the front desk.

In our SASS Class, we’re going to explore how the realm of food safety may be able to help ensure our hotels are clean and safe from contamination. Our guest teacher is Barbara Almanza and she is a professor at Purdue University. She has explored how keeping our food safe may be useful as a guide to hotel owners to quell the fears of contamination.

Thanks to you, we’ve won a Canadian Podcast Award for Outstanding Science and Medicine Series. We have been changing the way the world sees science, and it is definitely for the better. Let’s keep the awesome momentum going together!
