Is this truly the greatest profession?

An interview-style investigation of the people and humanity behind veterinary medicine.

In each episode, our host, Matt Asciutto, has a conversation with a different veterinary professional he has met along the way. Together they examine what leads us to this field, how we are surviving, what we think comes next, and whatever other philosophical meanderings that may inspire them.

Matthew Asciutto

Matt Asciutto spent many years performing improv comedy, designing polymers, and teaching MCAT for Kaplan before pursuing an incredibly sensible career in veterinary medicine.

A 2017 graduate of the College of Veterinary Medicine at The University of Tennessee, Dr. Asciutto has been working as a full-time emergency relief veterinarian since 2018, working for over 35 hospitals and traveling across 6 states to get there. He is the owner of Bindle Vet, a collective of locum veterinarians who know how important it is for you to know that you're leaving your hospital in good hands.

When he isn't working, Matt can be found making good use of his National Parks Annual Pass, incessantly bothering his fiancé with opinions about everything, and collecting an unreasonable number of guitars and surfboards.

These days he can often be found spending far too much time editing his upcoming book or endlessly droning on about his podcast: The Greatest Profession.
