This week’s guest returns to the Produce Buzzers Podcast for his second time. He is a man who pioneered podcasting about fruits and veggies. He was probably the first person to have a radio show that focused on fresh produce. Long before we had the term “podcasting” our guest was on the radio airwaves across the country with a show called “The Produce Pair’ that he started way back in 1998, he teamed up with another fresh produce colleague to talk all things fruit and veggie. The show was syndicated across the country on over 500 radio stations.

Our guest today is Dan Avakian, a.k.a. “Dan, The Produce Man” and he has 50 years experience working in the produce business. He has a deep passion for all things about fresh produce and brings that energy, along with his deep, rich, velvety voice when he talks about fruits and vegetables to his audience. You see, Dan moonlighted as a Rock Jock in the S.F. Bay Area while he worked days in various positions in the produce business. So he has a lot of experience in producing interesting and informative entertainment in compelling ways.

Dan now has his own podcast titled, “Fresh From the Field on which he zeroes in on a particular fruit or veggie to give the audience everything they need to know about it.

Since we share the same passion for fresh produce we are delighted to have Dan on the show again. Listen to get his expert tips for getting the best produce at your supermarket or farmers market.
