The Tails of Truth Podcast:

One Year, 57 Episodes, and What We've Learned Along the Way

One year of Tails of Truth and we're just getting started.

Episode 57 is our one-year anniversary episode, and we're using it to look back, get honest, and tell you what's ahead.

What we cover:

  • Our favorite episodes from the past year and why they mattered
  • The things we've actually changed our minds about: pet insurance, the Lepto vaccine, raw food handling
  • Why changing your mind isn't weakness. It's what learning looks like
  • Grief, community, euthabags, and the newsletter written from JoJo's living room floor
  • What's coming in year two: an oncologist, a dermatologist, a cat behaviorist, and more

This show exists because veterinary medicine shouldn't feel intimidating or inaccessible. No question is too small. No concern is ridiculous. And the truth matters even when it's complicated, evolving, or hard to say. We're proud of what we've built, grateful for everyone who's been listening, and excited for where we're going.

Key Takeaways

  1. It's okay, even good, to change your mind when new information or lived experience shifts your perspective. JoJo opted for the Lepto vaccine and pet insurance. Dr. Angie is finally addressing Fritz's weight. Both took time and that's okay.
  2. Veterinary professionals carry shame too. The shame episode resonated deeply because naming it is the first step to doing something about it.
  3. No question is ridiculous. If you have a question, it means it hasn't been answered well enough yet.
  4. Cat episodes consistently perform because cats are underserved in veterinary content.
  5. Community matters. The Bodhi grief episode showed how powerful it is to feel held by a group of people who understand.
  6. Lifting the curtain on what it's like to be a veterinary professional is part of the mission and it's rare.
  7. Veterinary humor is a coping mechanism and it's real. The appropriate giggles stay.
