OLIVER CROCKER on the original ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on December 15th 2024. This week's special guest is the film-maker, researcher, prolific podcaster, and author, OLIVER CROCKER who joins me to talk not about the long-running police drama THE BILL, about which he is something of an authority, but about another long-running drama from the 1970s and 1980s, the popular Yorkshire-set veterinary series ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL based upon the books by the author ALF WRIGHT who was better known by the pen name JAMES HERRIOT. Starring CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY, ROBERT HARDY, CAROL DRINKWATER, and PETER DAVISON, with the likes of JOHN McGLYNN and LINDA BELLINGHAM joining the cast for its revival, ALL CREATURES was a huge success across seven series, ninety episodes, and appeared in the BBC schedules for over a decade, making household names of all of its stars, with a popular combination of light comedy, heart-wrenching drama, and lots and lots of the kind of photogenic cute furry animals that had viewers tuning in in their millions. OLIVER quite literally wrote the book on ALL CREATURES with his popular ALL MEMORIES GREAT AND SMALL, a collection of memories and production details about the making of a series which was so well loved that it has been successfully revived by CHANNEL FIVE for five series and counting, so I am very pleased to welcome him to VISION ON SOUND this week, to talk about this, and his TV career in general.

Though Jessi has only recently arrived in Stoneybrook and joined the BSC, she steps up to take the lead role in an upcoming ballet performance and take on a twice-a-week sitting gig for the Braddocks, another new family in the neighborhood. Matt Braddock is deaf and uses sign language to communicate, and Jessi sees that he and his sister Haley are having a tough time settling in. Jessi is just the right sitter for the job, with her empathy, facility with languages and expression through movement, and close (telepathic?) connection with a best friend who happens to have seven siblings keen to learn Jessi's Secret Language. In this episode, we're lucky to have storyteller Kambri Crews, a CODA fluent in American Sign Language, join us to discuss Book 16. You can find out about Kambri's memoir here.

Every once in a while you meet a person you've read about in a book.  It might not be the actual person, but is the personification of a character that is so accurate, it might as well have jumped out straight from the pages.  Today, our podcast guest is one of those.  James Metcalfe lives on Hardenclough Farm, “in the heart of the beautiful Peak District [with a] flock of pedigree Cheviots & Luing cattle grazing under the shadow of Mam Tor.”  You would never guess that the man is a poet, because his strong, steady farming character could have come straight out of James Herriot's Yorkshire hills.  He came to be a judge at the North American Hill Sheep Show, and though he would not be one to jump the line or show a bit of flash, he's one that we at Backyard Green Films will picture frequently in the future, every time we hear the word “Farmer” – in the best possible way -- quiet strength and always willing to lend a hand. Links:https://www.instagram.com/hardenclough_farm/https://www.visitengland.com/experience/discover-all-creatures-great-and-small-yorkshire Support the show

Have you ever watched your cat move with less of its usual grace or hesitate before leaping onto its favorite perch? In this episode, understand the complex world of feline pain with Dr. Stacy McVicker. These whiskered companions are masters at masking discomfort, but Dr. McVicker's expertise, inspired by the stories of James Herriot, equips us with the tools to uncover what our cats cannot voice. We chart the journey from the veiled signs of pain in our feline friends to actionable steps that can significantly enhance their quality of life.  Ferris, a community cat with hyperthyroidism and spine pain, becomes our case study in understanding the importance of a patient veterinarian. This episode isn't just about sad tales; it's about real solutions, including groundbreaking treatments like Solensia and simple yet effective environmental changes that can transform a cat's golden years. We also talk about the "lift the lid" strategy, which might just revolutionize how shelters and pet owners handle litter box challenges.  The connection between pain and behavioral changes takes center stage as we share the stories of Zeno and Argo, two cats whose sudden aggression indicated deeper issues. From the Feline Musculoskeletal Pain Index Tool to cold laser therapy, we discuss the vast array of resources and treatments available to cat owners. This conversation with Dr. McVicker is a heartfelt reminder of our role in recognizing and treating our cats' silent suffering, ensuring they live full, comfortable lives within our loving homes.

In this episode of the Uncharted Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark jumps into a crucial mailbag but this time with special guest Dr. Sarah Wolff. Together they tackle a pressing question from a practice manager struggling with maintaining the personal touch in client interactions after transitioning to digital communications. Sarah Wolff, a seasoned veteran of the veterinary field, embarked on her journey inspired by James Herriot's tales. Over her 22-year career, she's navigated every role imaginable in a veterinary team, from humble beginnings as a kennel assistant to the esteemed position of medical director. Through her extensive experience, Sarah has witnessed the dynamic evolution of veterinary care, but one principle has remained constant: client relationships are the cornerstone of exceptional veterinary medicine. Today, she's dedicated to helping teams cultivate these relationships, fostering excellent client experiences that enrich both the practice and the individuals within it. For more insights from Sarah, visit her online at www.DrSarahWolff.com and follow her on Twitter @DrSarahWolff. In this episode's mailbag entry, our featured practice manager voices a common concern among modern practices: striking a balance between efficiency-driven digital communications and maintaining the human connection with clients. With technology streamlining communication processes, practices risk losing the personal touch that sets them apart in the hearts of their clients. Let's get into this episode!

WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for Episode 7 of All Creatures Great and Small Season 4.  Lead actor Nicholas Ralph returns to the podcast to reflect on Season Four of All Creatures Great and Small, and how his character, James Herriot, learned to embrace the ever-present uncertainties of life while training a new vet, joining the RAF, and becoming a father.

Dr. Dale Krier is a born and raised New Yorker. She freed herself from the east coast and moved to Colorado for undergrad when she was 18, graduated from CSU in 1987, and then moved back east to be closer to her mom after graduation. She worked for 10 years at a brick-and-mortar practice. When the practice was sold to a corporation, she quit the next day. Dale started Creature Comforts Mobile practice in 1997 with a Dodge truck. She discovered the beauty of in home euthanasia practice, joined IAAHPC, and became certified in hospice and palliative care in 2017. COVID was the smokescreen that allowed her to transition her non-end-of-life care clients & patients to other veterinarians. She is currently 98% end-of-life care and 2% A+ clients that she still works with. She is currently in the process of transitioning to working 3 weeks a month and playing one week a month.  Topics covered in this episode: Dr. Dale's journey to starting her house call practice How a Dodgen Truck helped her leave a long-term job that was sold to a corporation How Covid helped Dr. Dale pivot to end-of-life care   The pros and cons of owning a mobile clinic End-of-life care  Getting creative with advertising your mobile practice Boundaries and the freedom of house call practices on the road Deciding what to charge for your time and services  Links and Resources: Visit the Creature Comforts website to learn more about Dr. Dale Krier Find Creature Comforts: In Home Pet Hospice & Euthanasia on Facebook Dr. Dale's writing, “Life Has Moments That Take Your Breath Away” Life has moments that take your breath away. When I was 12 years old my father died at work. I never got to say goodbye, never got to see him, never got to say “I love you” one last time. My perfect life was shattered in an instant with a knock on the door. The police officer stated that my dad had a heart attack and passed before the paramedics arrived. Everything afterward was a blur. Phone calls, family, tears, sadness, denial, anger, helplessness, hugs, guilt, a funeral. Kind people making caring comments that couldn't take the sadness away. My mother struggled with her own loss. I was left to figure things out. Routines helped. Back to school and my life. Friends, teachers, and family didn't know what to say, so they said nothing. All assumed that if I was doing well in school I must be okay. Time went on. Life choices were made. I wanted to become a veterinarian. Not a common goal for a woman in the 1970”s. My awkwardness with human relationships drew me to the animals. I was shy around people but always felt an inner peace snuggling with a kitty or playing with a dog. Animals made me feel alive and loved. Veterinary school was beyond challenging mentally, emotionally, and physically. The demands of the curriculum were relentless. The love of the animals was always the reward. Restoring health to a sick, helpless creature is a joy beyond words. My years in training were spent honing my diagnostic and surgical skills to prepare me for the business world. Four years of veterinary school flew by and I moved 2000 miles across the country to start the next chapter of my life closer to family. My first job as a veterinarian lasted for 10 years. My mentors were seasoned veterinarians who shared their advice, experience, and support. I grew secure in my skills and enjoyed the challenges that my career provided. Every day was different. Nothing was ever truly routine. I would never know what surprise awaited me beyond exam room door number one. Was it a cute kitty or a snarling dog, a happy or crying pet owner, a routine vaccine appointment, or an emergency hit by car? There has never been a moment where I didn't believe I was doing important work. One day I was called into the practice owner's office and told that the business had been sold. My employers would be moving on in their lives and the practice was now owned by a corporation. Something inside me died that day. Once again my perfect family was shattered. That night I discussed the change of circumstance with my husband. I had always fantasized about operating a house call practice. As a child, I spent hours reading James Herriot's books and dreaming about life as a house call veterinarian. Helping pets and their people in their home environments was a life dream. Five months later Creature Comforts Mobile Veterinary Clinic was born. The day-to-day craziness of operating a small animal mobile veterinary clinic is challenging, emotional, chaotic, tiring, and beyond rewarding. At the end of the day it always comes back to the love of the animal and making a difference in someone's life. Families who can't get their cat in a carrier, cats who get violently ill on the car ride to the animal hospital, dogs who tremble with anxiety or growl with aggression. People don't just call to make an appointment, they call to tell their pet's story. Many procedures overlap in traditional vs house call medicine but the one that tweaked my thinking the most was the requests for end-of-life care. A faltering voice on the other end of the phone, sometimes silence intermixed with sobs. I learned to recognize these calls for what they were. A pet owner reaching out to a stranger asking for help to provide a gentle goodbye to a beloved family member. All veterinarians are trained to perform the euthanasia procedure but few get to experience the calmness and peacefulness that comes with attending to a pet in the comfort of home. Caring for the human and 4-legged family with dignity, respect, and privacy is truly my calling. People are placed in our path for a reason. After completing Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 certification classes it seemed like the stars were aligning for me. I found myself in polite conversation with a colleague sitting next to me at a veterinary conference. She expressed to me that she had recently opened an end-of-life and hospice care mobile practice. She ignited something in me that I had been contemplating for quite a long time. My research led me to a relatively new group of veterinarians offering end-of-life services only for their furry patients. This is my vision, my passion. I love being able to provide validation, information, options, hugs, and support to families in crisis. I love being able to walk families through an overwhelmingly tough choice and come out on the other side acknowledging that the right decisions were made. No veterinarian starts out on their career path with the goal of helping pets die. Quite frankly, we spend all our energy and training trying to save lives. Exams, laboratory work, x-ray, ultrasound, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatment, all with the hope of saving a life. Veterinary school does not prepare us well for the psychology of dying. Emotions are raw, the sadness is palpable and the connections to one's pet runs deep. Death does not have to be something we fear. It can take place in a respectful way with food and music and candles and stories and hugs and tears. Tears of sadness mixed with tears of relief that our friends are no longer suffering. I am deeply honored when families reach out to me and ask for my help to provide a peaceful farewell. I have spent the last 45 years missing my father and wondering if he would be proud of the person I have become. I now know that the passion I bring to my work is due to the lessons I have received from loving and honoring the man I know he was. He gives me strength to provide support to my clients and walk beside them each step of the way as they say goodbye to a beloved friend. Many of these families I will never meet again, yet the moments that we shared will never be forgotten. “ My pet is old and his body is not cooperating with his mind and he has become a shadow of who he once was. I need to consider what life he has left and if I should be letting him go to be pain-free.” client's comment   The House Call Vet Academy links: Find out about The House Call Vet Academy online CE course  Learn more about Dr. Eve Harrison  Learn more about 1-to-1 coaching for current & prospective house call, mobile, & concierge vets Get House Call Vet swag!

This is a weird one. Not at all what you'd be expecting. The names of locations, individuals, and 4-legged lifeforms have been changed to protect the innocent.If you enjoy funny vet stories, you might enjoy the books of James Herriot, a veterinarian plying his trade in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales of northern England. The stories take place before World War 2, in the days when farmers still used horse-drawn implements on their farms, and every veterinarian had to be knowledgeable about every species of animal. Hilarious, heartwarming, and poignant. Warning: will make you want to become a veterinarian. (That's what happened to Clare...)

Welcome back to episode 4 of the BookTok Book Club Podcast. Today, we are getting to know one of your hosts, Cindy Gunderson and learning a little bit more about how she fell in love with books. As a child she loved the James Herriot series. Growing up in a farm in Canada, she related so much to the stories.  And of course, we always get excited about new books. Join us today as we discuss Yes, And: a Novel by Cindy Gunderson. We always love getting to hear about the books from the person who imagined them and hearing a little bit about the behind the scenes of the writing process. This book is about a college student, Toby, who is desperate for direction. Pausing his higher education, he relocates to Portland and rents a townhouse in hopes of reconnecting to his roots. But he didn't expect his passion for soap operas to lead to the relationship he's always needed.At eighty-seven-years-old, Jo's mind and body aren't what they used to be. But even at her senior age, she's sharp enough to know her nursing aids are after her generous family trust. So when a kind and honest young man moves in next door, she quickly enlists his help in catching the sneaky bandits.Forging a deep connection with his elderly friend through their scheming, Toby finally lights upon his purpose. And with her partner in crime helping her navigate everyday adventures from roller skates and uneven ground to downtown parking, Jo rediscovers a joy she had long forgotten. Watch out for Cindy's new series, "The Blessing Giver" coming out in June!  Join us again next week and be sure to check out our previous episodes.

This week Carrie and I traveled to record at the Tompkins-Buchanan-Rankin Mansion, which is a Victorian era mansion built in 1871, with 12-foot ceilings, hand-carved wood balusters, and intricately designed colorful wallpapers. It has been preserved and enveloped by the campus of Spalding University and is the location of their School of Creative and Professional Writing and home base for today's guest, debut novelist Katy Yocom. Katy's novel, Three Ways to Disappear, was published in 2019 and has won numerous awards including The Siskiyou Prize for Environmental Fiction. It has also been selected as a Barnes and Noble Indie Book Favorite. Katy has vivid memories of as a child reading All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot out loud with her mother. It was a short leap to her writing her own book about the intricacies of animal conservation and family bonds. Katy tells us how her obsession with a set of newborn tiger cubs at the Louisville Zoo 14 years ago started her on the path to write her book, how a suggestion from an astute editor changed the trajectory of her novel, and why she believes much of the riskier and cutting edge literature is being published by small independent presses and how important it is to support them. Books Discussed in this Episode 1- Three Ways to Disappear by Katy Yocom 2- All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot 3- One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia 4- Severance by Ling Ma 5- The Road by Cormac McCarthy 6- Kindred by Octavia Butler You can find us on FB, instagram (@perksofbeingabookloverpod) and on our website at www.perksofbeingabooklover.com

Who is the only writer who makes Queen Elizabeth laugh out loud when she reads him? The answer is James Herriot, (his actual name is Alfred Wight). His books, beginning with All Creatures Great and Small, are funny, interesting, and reveal a slower way of life from a bygone era. He was a practicing vet from 1939 to 1996 in the Yorkshire region of the U.K. Masterpiece Theater recently turned his novels into a television series (for the second time) and his books have sold over 60 million copies.  Today I interviewed his son, Jim Wight, who wrote a wonderful biography of his father called, The Real James Herriot. We talk about the people behind the characters in the novels, what it's like to be a vet in rural England, and why so many people love James Herriot stories.    Books The Real James Herriot All Creatures Great and Small All Things Bright and Beautiful All Things Wise and Wonderful The Lord God Made Them All

We'd love for you to hear why including YA novels in our homeschooling plans can have long term benefits. 1:00 Jeff Zentner: best selling author of YA novels In the Wild Light and The Serpent King 1:15 Currently Reading Podcast 1:50 Rayne and Delilah's Midnite Matinee 2:00 Homeschooling Moment of the Week: Rachel (puppy birthing needs hay) 3:00 James Herriot Treasury Collection for Children 3:05 PBS Masterpiece on James Herriot 3:34 HSMotW: Mindy (Jubilee pre-writing skills and “writing” stories) 4:20 HMotQ: Jeff (snuggles and reading at home after being away) 5:20 Topic Talk: Including YA in our homeschooling plans 7:25 Writing about living in the South 10:20 How Jeff describes YA to us 11:39 Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Jones 14:00 What does YA have to offer in our homeschooling? 14:13 YA is great for drawing in reluctant readers 15:00 Teens can see themselves reflected in YA books 15:14 YA books are hopeful 17:00 Can YA be for families who are more conservative in their kids' reading selections? 18:28 Julie Berry 18:38 The Lovely War by Julie Berry 18:44 Caroline George 18:50 Caroline George books 19:00 Rayne and Delilah's Midnite Matinee Clean YA books (post by Book Series Recaps) 21:31 The Lunar Chronicles (Cinder is book #1) 21:33 The Selection Series (The Selection is book #1) 21:45 YA can be a gateway to conversations 22:23 YA helps us remember how things actually felt during our teen years 23:55 How Jeff incorporates reading in his family life 25:33 Gary Schmidt books 25:36 Gary Paulsen books 25:40 Jason Reynolds books 25:55 Does Jeff think about topics he wants to address in his books? 27:00 How Jeff feels about and treats teens 29:30 Which of Jeff's characters is most like him? 29:44 Why Jeff doesn't write himself on the page 30:44 Benefits of Easter Eggs in novels 32:06 How Jeff is involved with the narrators for his audiobooks 33:06 Angela's question for Jeff 33:27 Kelly Loy Gilbert 33:29 Jessie Ann Foley 33:45 Picture Us in the Light by Kelly Loy Gilbert 33:51 Sorry for your Loss by Jessie Ann Foley 34:07 Make It Personal: Near Bookends (start reading YA) 35:02 MIP: Far Bookends (read a YA with your kid) 33:57 Bookend Homeschoolers Reading Guides: Summer, Japan, Fat Bear 33: 45 Jeff's novels: In the Wild Light, The Serpent King, Rayne and Delilah's Midnite Adventure, and Goodbye Days Clean YA books and tween books (List created by Book Series Recaps) 36: 47 View from the (Far) Bookend: show value to each season of our kids' lives, including late teenhood (If you have read The Serpent King, we have a fun bonus at the end of the show) Bookend Homeschoolers on IG Mindy at gratefulforgrace on IG Rachel at colemountainhomeschool on IG Jeff Zentner on IG, on Twitter, and his FB author page

On this episode Barry shares his 'go-to' show on Sunday nights:  "All Creatures Great And Small."  From the original series in the late 70's to visiting James Herriot country in 2019, to the new series on PBS ... he's hooked.  

This chapter from "All Creatures Great and Small," is the only one that's really worth reading out of the whole book. I would discourage anyone from reading this book because there's a good deal of vile language in it and the fact that it all devolves into a romance at the end. But I once had dreams of being a veterinarian myself and this story opened my eyes as to what a tough profession it truly is and I quickly reconsidered. It's fascinating what hard knocks veterinarians go through. We begin this story on the first day of Mr. Herriot's practice as assistant veterinarian to Mr. Farnon, in Darrowby, England… My website: https://catholic-mens-podcast.pinecast.co/ Email me at: michaelsword7@gmail.com

In the home stretch of this holiday season, wildlife veterinarian Jerry Haigh, author of Reindeer Reflections: Lessons from an Ancient Culture, sits down with you for a one-of-a-kind romp through the reindeer lore and science. Reindeer are sure to put you in the mood for peace on Earth. Get to know these stunningly gorgeous and supremely gentle creatures, find out when and why to call them "caribou," and learn how spellbinding their lives are under the northern lights. Included in the Show Notes, below and on the This Animal Life website, you'll find many links to videos that will further immerse you in their beauty and wonder.  Jerry Haigh is a cross between James Herriot and Farley Mowat, a wry and compassionate veterinarian who's ventured far from his native Scotland to travel four continents, all to bring health and healing to animals, both wild and domestic. He's written books about everything from porcupines to rhinos, but his latest book finds him tending to the reindeer of Finland and Mongolia.  So strap on your snowshoes and tromp along as Jerry regales you with mind-blowing facts about reindeer. For example what, if anything, is so special about Rudolph's nose? Discover the stunning truth about this supremely peaceful animal.   SHOW NOTES: Adopt a Reindeer Foundation Cairngorm Reindeer Herd on Facebook Cairngorm Reindeer Herd: Home  The Cairngorm Reindeer Herd is Britain's only free-ranging herd of reindeer found in the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland.
