Tails from the Lab is a storytelling podcast where two veterinary comrades entertain listeners with real cases and tall tales revolving around laboratory diagnostics. Names have been changed to protect the innocent, but the lab work is real. You can listen in the clinic on your lunch break, on your commute, or when you're hiding from your kids in the bathroom. With each episode, we hope to leave you a little smarter, a little brighter, and feeling more empowered in the lab.

Hungry for more!
Love these! Can’t wait for more episodes to come out!!! -DVM, 2020
Awesome!!
I’ve been a veterinarian for 3 years, and I would be lying if I said lab work is easy to interpret. I appreciate the way Holly and Jessica explain the nuances of certain values in relation to many other factors. Very informative, and lacking the pretentious explanations many of us may have experienced at some point in our career. Really terrific information that I look forward to continue following!
Story telling
I enjoy podcasts that are kind of like stories and this is like that. It starts from the beginning and you follow along like a detective trying to figure out what is wrong with the patient at hand.
