Welcome to Ro Knows! The podcast about good times with smart people. I'm blessed with the paradox of being a know-it-all and a life-long student. Learning is my jam and what better way to combat my ego than with talking to the fabulously intelligent people around me. Get to know Ro and what I know, or, don't know, but, think I know.

    Ro Knows: Cats

    So unfortunately, being an amateur podcaster comes with some hard lessons - this week it was about having enough hard drive space! we lost a good 7 minutes of a conversation about declawing, and how painful it can be for your kitty. Essentially, no matter what way it is done (old-school, laser or scalpel), your cat can experience a lot of long-term and post-op pain from declawing including phantom limb syndrome. Think of it this way: it’s non-consensual cosmetic plastic surgery. If you’re concerned about your cat ruining your furniture, Karen recommends using a citrus spray (be wary of light fabrics which can react to the acidity) double-sided tape or tin foil. Or the friendliest and most fun way is to cover your cats scratching posts or toys with catnip, they will love that and forget about your couch. Karen is proud that her clinic doesn’t do declawing procedures and she has never performed one, they do not teach them in veterinary school and that should be your first hint that it could be done poorly and permanently harm your feline friends. Some great resources Karen mentioned: www.indoorcatiniative.com https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control https://indoorpet.osu.edu/ http://www.roncyvillagevetclinic.com/team/dr-karen-okeefe-dvm/ music by soundcloud.com/gregmcgovern

    Ro Knows: Youth Crime

    Ro Knows: High School

    Once upon a time Sean, Sam, Hirsh, Clarissa and Ro went to a Regional Arts program high school together called Cawthra Park. Cawthra students have 'majors' including music, drama, dance and visual arts. So did it impact their lives in the long run? Did high school even matter? http://schools.peelschools.org/sec/cawthrapark/regionalarts/Pages/default.aspx music by soundcloud.com/gregmcgovern
