  • My favorite veterinary podcast

    If you are in vet med, this show is a must for your Wednesday morning commute. They really do go over the tough topics and dissect the current issues at hand. What I love the most? They are very big advocates for title protection. I can’t think of any other tech that has our professions back like Becky!

  • A really helpful and interesting podcast! I'm a Finnish veterinarian, and only found out about this recently, attending the virtual BSAVA congress and listening to Dr Ward's inspiring lecture. Thank you for this, it's like having a support group with me during long work drives! I haven't had a chance to go through the whole backlog of episodes, but if you haven't done one on the specific stresses of doing on call work, and especially how to deal with it, that would be great!

  • So insightful!

    I love this podcast and the insightful content. I just listened to the Is your Veterinary Practice a Good Neighbor episode and I loved how they got me thinking about a number of things regarding being neighborly that I don’t think about often. I love getting to hear their ideas and thoughts on a variety of topics relevant to my personal life and veterinary career.
