Our guest on this edition is Mark Ware, the voice behind the Not a Vet Podcast – a refreshingly honest, no-nonsense show exploring life in and around the veterinary world.
Mark isn’t a vet, but he brings a unique outsider’s perspective, asking the questions others don’t and highlighting the real stories behind the profession. From mental health and career pressures to the lighter side of animal care, his podcast mixes insight, humour, and authenticity. With engaging conversations and relatable experiences, Not a Vet Podcast has built a strong community around openness, support, and understanding what it really means to work with animals from someone who has been a well-known industry figure for more than a quarter of a century.
Mark and Ian compare notes on their podcasting journeys, meeting key figures in the vet industry and discuss their thoughts on the CMA investigation.
