The Greatest Profession

Seth Williams - Do I Use Physics Anymore?

This week we welcome the sultry stylings of podcast extraordinaire: Seth Williams. Together we discuss not being popular, going with your gut, and getting feedback from your mother in law. Seth, a 2019 graduate of University of Missouri, is a general practice owner in St. Louis, MO and father to the burgeoning musical virtuoso responsible for the Fisher Price Five.

Amber Davidson - Haven’t Burned Out Yet

On this episode, Matt is joined by Amber Davidson. Together they talk about COVID testing, New Zealand car camping, and how Matt followed Amber around for about a year. Amber is a traveling relief veterinarian living in Florida (though, one day she shall take her tiny home to the high seas). 

Kerry Mead - Was it Vindictive? Maybe.

On this episode, Matt sits down with Kerry Mead over mimosas to discuss plans for her children's futures, the sexiness of GP medicine, and how easy it is to get into vet school. Kerry is a primary care veterinarian who has spent the last four years focusing on preventative and dental services, primarily with her current company, Pet Dental USA. This podcast episode is the final and most impactful item on Kerry's Colorado bucket list. She now says she can die happy or move back to Arizona, whichever seems more dramatic.

Will Hodges Part Deux - Not a Peddler of Wares

On this episode, Bill / Will holds a quiet mutiny, overthrowing Matt as the host while continuing to sip on the same, flat, tepid cappuccino. They talk about expensive mushrooms, high school improv, and how everything in life is negotiable. 
 

Will Hodges Part One - Gets To My Innards

On this episode, Matt sits down with Bowtie Bill Hodges ... for, like, a while. So long, in fact, that the coffee shop had to cut off Bill's WiFi just to get him to leave. Matt spends so much time bugging Will, they had to break their conversation up into two episodes (there's a pun in there which shall reveal itself in time). In part one, they discuss the luxurious tranquility of the ER, how they navigate ethical quandries, and that Will likes money. Dr. Hodges is a relief emergency veterinarian living, though not practicing in, the Pacific Northwest. 

Jennifer Paugh - The Chaos and the Mystery

On this episode, Matt is joined by the ineffable Jennifer Paugh. Together they discuss all the usual extra-curricular endeavors of the emergency veterinarian, including scuba diving, acupunture, and acro-yoga. Jen is an emergency veterinarian in Austin, TX; though her heart spends its evenings in Bali. 
 

Jonah Williams - The Reward Center

On this episode, Matt sits down with Jonah Williams to discuss the usual stuff: traveling camel rides, improv comedy, and manufacturing confidence. Jonah is a relief veterinarian, primarily practicing emergency medicine at specialty hospitals in Maryland and Northern Virginia. One day Matt and Jonah will have a travel show wherein Jonah actually investigates something useful while Matt wanders off in search of empanadas.
