Old PodVet is dead.
Long live new PodVet!

I am in the process of moving PodVet over to the newly aquired PodVet.com site. I have built a new, easier to use, nicer to look-at site which is now live at:

The new site allows you to listen to podcasts directly without having to subscribe - just click on the play button at the bottom of each posting.

To receive email updates on new postings - just add your email address to the box on the right of the new website and hit the 'subscribe' button. I will continue to post entries and podcasts to both new and old sites for the next couple of weeks to make sure no-one gets lost.

I hope you enjoy the new PodVet. There will be new developments in the near future. Keep sending in the feedback. I am still waiting for the first bit of audio feedback / voicemail - what are you all afraid of- voice your opinions.

New show will appear over the weekend.

Very interesting interview with Andrew Knight.

Interview with Andrew Knight.
Andrew wanted to study veterinary medicine in order to be a better advocate for animal welfare. However, parts of the veterinary course required the use of animals that were specifically sourced just for practicals. Andrew didn't feel that these practicals were ethical and challenged the university. He won his case and has pioneered an alternative track for students who wish to conscientiously object to parts of their educational courses.
As well as working as a veterinarian in the UK, Andrew works with several animal welfare organistions on many projects, particularly regarding intensive farming techniques. He also promotes vegetarian companion animal diets.

Late Friday evening.

Friday was just one of those days where lots of extra things cropped up and I didn't get chance to do any of the things that I wanted to do (including a new PodVet episode). So rather than miss an episode I did a quick no-frills show from the sofa before going to bed. No mixer, no preamp, no good mic and no edits - just all one take. It wasn't too bad for my first 'live'' show. although I forgot to update you on the great Spaniel diet. You'll have to wait until the next show to find out if Ernie & Holly have lost any weight! I have some interesting phone interviews coming up next week so we might have more than one episode next week - it depends on my other commitments.

Listener Survey

In relation to the development of PodVet, as discussed in PodVet 15, you're going to hear me talk about this in my podcast for the next couple months: We're taking a survey of our listeners, and we'd like you to participate. It will help us learn more about you - no matter how long you've been a listener or how frequently you listen to this podcast. So please take a few minutes to complete the survey. You'll find the listener survey link in the right-hand menu on the PodVet blog (as well as directly below this message) and you can complete the survey anonymously.
Thanks!

I'm sick (again) so this is just a quick podcast to go through some of the (very limited) feedback.
We also revisit the story of the laparotomy fieldtrip from one of our earliest podcasts. You can view the story at this link:

http://www.sanpetemessenger.com/news518_1.html

After you have read the story we would be interested to know if you think the vet was justified in carrying out this procedure using the poll below. You can also send us your opinion via email to PodVet@gmail.com.

I'll have another audio podcast for you in the next couple of days but in the meantime I couldn't resist trying out the video podcasting capabilities of iTunes 6. I shot this video yesterday which was when our first years presented their projects. This was a thoroughly enjoyable affair for the staff as the quality was very high. There were posters, and models and radiographs and as usual I learnt a few new things myself. If you have any ideas about how we can usfully integrate video into the podvet podcasts then drop me a line at podvet@gmail.com. The music on the video is called 'There she goes' by Brother Love from the podsafe music network (http://music.podshow.com).

So to view this video you will need to download and install iTunes from the Apple site (http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/). There are mac and windows versions. Once you have it installed you can then subscribe to the podvet podcast network by clicking on 'Advanced' in the top menu and choosing 'Subscribe to podcast' option. Then type in 'http://feeds.feedburner.com/podvet' and that's it! Whenever a new podvet episode is released it will be downloaded to your computer.
