  • Potential

    As a practicing veterinarian, I love the idea and diversity behind this show. However, with at least half of the episodes, the sound is typically off. Usually it’s the interviewee and their volume is so soft that you sometimes can’t even make out the words they are saying. Just wish the audio was a little better quality.
