All Creatures Episode 2 — Feathers, Fear, and Flu: the hunt for Mothman and the truth about avian influenza | Vet Candy

Something is out there. And it has feathers.
Welcome back to All Creatures — the scripted dramatic podcast series from Vet Candy that turns the most urgent issues in veterinary medicine into stories you cannot stop listening to. Episode 2 takes on one of the most critical animal and public health threats facing the veterinary profession right now: avian influenza.
Feathers, Fear, and Flu: Join Us on the Hunt for Mothman.
The elusive Mothman has been spotted. The flu is spreading. And the team is about to discover that the truth about avian influenza is stranger — and more dangerous — than any myth. All Creatures Episode 2 pulls you into a world of suspense, science, and zoonotic disease, where the stakes are real even when the story is fiction.
Based on a short story by Dr. Jill Lopez and voiced by professional actors Clay and Caitlin Palmer, this episode brings together an extraordinary team of real experts woven into the narrative — epidemiologist Dr. Patrick Carney from Cornell University, veterinary pathologist Dr. Aleksandra Zuraw, practice manager Quisha Brown, and veterinary technician Keyana Beamon. The result is a listening experience that is as scientifically grounded as it is genuinely thrilling.
🎙️ What makes this episode stand out: A fully scripted dramatic story with professional actors, immersive music, and rich sound design Real expert insights from an epidemiologist, a veterinary pathologist, a practice manager, and a veterinary technician A zoonotic disease narrative that is as relevant as today's headlines A reminder that in veterinary medicine, collaboration is not optional — it is everything
🔥 What you will learn in this episode: What avian influenza is, how it spreads, and why it matters for veterinary professionals The zoonotic implications of avian flu and what that means for your practice and your clients How to recognize, respond to, and communicate about avian influenza in a clinical setting Why interdisciplinary teamwork is the most powerful tool veterinary medicine has when facing a disease outbreak The real science behind one of today's most urgent animal and public health threats — told through a story you will not forget
Whether you are a veterinarian trying to stay ahead of emerging disease, a veterinary technician who wants to understand the zoonotic landscape better, a practice manager thinking about outbreak preparedness, or simply someone who loves a good story with real stakes, Episode 2 of All Creatures delivers education, entertainment, and genuine clinical relevance in a single listen.

All Creatures Episode 1 — Zombie Invasion: how to survive the end of the world | Veterinary CE podcast | Vet Candy

Continuing education just got a whole lot more interesting. Welcome to All Creatures — the veterinary CE podcast series from Vet Candy that throws out the lecture format and replaces it with something you will actually want to listen to twice.
Episode 1: Zombie Invasion — How to Survive the End of the World.
The undead have arrived. The world as you know it is gone. And somehow, in the middle of the apocalypse, the veterinary profession still has work to do. All Creatures drops you into a fully scripted, high-stakes dramatic world where veterinarians and veterinary technicians are not just surviving the zombie apocalypse — they are using everything they know to keep their team alive, their patients cared for, and their clinical skills sharp when the infrastructure that supports modern medicine has completely collapsed.
This is not a quiz. This is not a slideshow. This is a story — and it is unlike any CE experience you have had before.
🎙️ What makes All Creatures different: A fully scripted dramatic podcast with a professional ensemble cast Real veterinary learning objectives woven into a compelling narrative you will not want to pause Lessons in survival, resilience, clinical decision-making, and team collaboration told through characters you will actually care about A listening experience designed for the veterinary professional who is tired of falling asleep during CE
🔥 What you will learn in Episode 1: How veterinary teams function and communicate under extreme pressure The clinical and practical skills that matter most when resources are limited Why adaptability and collaboration are not soft skills — they are survival skills How to make sound decisions when the stakes could not be higher What the veterinary profession is actually made of when everything else falls apart
Whether you are a seasoned practitioner looking for a CE experience unlike anything you have done before, a veterinary technician who wants content that does not feel like homework, or a new grad who learns best through story rather than slides, Episode 1 of All Creatures is the beginning of something entirely new in veterinary continuing education.
This is Vet Candy. We do things differently.

Cat Class In Session with Keleigh Schetler- Can She Beat Cat Daddy?

Think you know cats? Like really know cats? Then it’s time to put those whisker facts to the test. In the newest episode of Cat Daddy on Pet Candy Radio, our favorite feline fanatic, Keleigh Schettler, joins the show for an all-out cat trivia showdown.
 
Host, Caitlin Palmer, dives in with Keleigh to tackle the big questions—like why cats knock everything off the counter, if they actually love us, and who decided that purring is a normal sound to make when you’re happy andstressed.
Spoiler: things get competitive, someone confuses a Maine Coon with a mountain lion, and there’s at least one dramatic “meow” reenactment.
Keleigh brings her A-game, dropping cat facts faster than a kitten chasing a laser pointer. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll definitely question your life choices if you miss this one.
So grab your cat (if they’ll let you), your headphones, and maybe a lint roller—because Who’s Got the Cat Smarts? is the purr-fect mix of chaos, comedy, and cat education you didn’t know you needed.

WVC Vegas + Brainsmarts Chaos: We Accidentally Ran Into Caitlin’s Boss … Then Recorded a Podcast with Him LIVE in Vegas

 
Season one of Brainsmarts goes out with a bang — and a little bit of chaos — LIVE from the floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino during Western Veterinary Conference.
Hosts Caitlin Palmar and Clay Palmar literally run into Caitlin’s former (and current) employer, Dr. Dean, on the way to Las Vegas and decide the only logical next step is to put him on the mic.
The season finale is part reunion, part career reflection, and part “how did this even happen?” — plus a look back at the most unforgettable moments from season one. From the iconic Canadian This-or-That episode with Shannon Gervais, to fashion hot takes and trivia with Chicago’s own Dr. Thomas Vega, to parasite horror stories with Dr. Hannah Jordan, it’s the perfect send-off before the next chapter.
Recorded live. Slightly unhinged. Totally Brainsmarts.
