Old PodVet is dead - Long live new PodVet!

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:

http://www.podvet.com/blogs

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.

So, what do YOU have to do to continue receiving PodVet content?

Update your bookmarks to the new address.

To continue receiving podcasts - all you have to do is subscribe using the new feed address (which is http://podvet.com/blogs/?feed=rss2). If you use iTunes to subscribe to podcasts then just click on the iTunes button on the new website or just click here and hit the 'subscribe' button. (Once you have subscribed to the new podcast don't forget to unsubscribe from the old one!).

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.

Have YOU completed the Listener Survey?

Bedcast: Sick again (winter vomiting bug).

Spaniel Diet (weighed last Thursday):

* Ernie: 21.05kg
* Holly: 20.05kg

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.

PodVet 18: 10 February, 2006

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.

I hope you have a good weekend - keep the email & audio feedback coming in.
