Fun and enjoyable conversations!
My Veterinary Life is a fantastic way to hear the stories of many different veterinarians in our profession and to learn from their unique (and yet relatable) experiences. Co-hosts Marci Kirk and Annie Chavent offer their own perspectives in relation to what is shared with a lightness and humor that make these conversations fly by. I was interviewed on a recent episodes and it felt like a conversation with old friends! I highly recommend this podcast to those old or new to the veterinary profession.
