from Veterinary Ramblings · host Veterinary Ramblings / Dr Mark Hedberg

Dr Mark Hedberg is known as The Expat Vet and has spent a lot of his working life travelling from country to country. In this episode, we discuss Mark's time in Saudi Arabia, where he worked with a host of unusual animals including a crocodile who never forgot him - but has inadvertently got him a free drink!As someone who is fluent in both English and Hungarian, we are treated to a rendition of Puff The Magic Dragon in Hungarian and discuss the complexities of the Hungarian language. We also learn about Mark's time in many roles, including at The College of Animal Welfare, where he had the ironic job title of the 'short' course manager and a viral claim to fame. Lastly, we discuss different techniques for getting people's attention during early morning lectures and Mark delivers a fantastic 60-Second CPD with advice for getting a sales job outside of clinical practice.Support the show ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The Treadweary Podcast Carleton Smee The collective ramblings of a Lutheran pastor who desires to hear what the Scriptures have to tell us. Sometimes it is a sermon, and other times a brief devotion. Many times a lot of questions. Take 15 minutes today to rest in the Word of God and hear the voice of Christ free you from your burdens. Ramblings BBC Radio 4 Clare Balding and guests share inspiring conversations while walking in the great outdoors.Fresh air and nature, wonderful views and uplifting chat, each week Clare hikes in a different part of our glorious countryside. Walking side by side is the perfect way to cover a huge range of subjects: literature, art, wildlife, nature, taking on personal or physical challenges, dealing with grief, confronting preconceptions about the kind of people who love to ramble. The conversations are as varied as the landscapes we find ourselves in. If there's a recurring theme, it's the accepted truth that 'solvitur ambulando' - 'it is solved through walking': The sense of wellness, the benefits to mental health, easy companionship, or sometimes just the sense of solitude that being alone in nature brings.Few things are better than going for a good walk. That's what we aim to share each week on Ramblings with Clare Balding.
