Veterinary student influencers to host new Vet Candy Podcast

Vet Candy IRL is an innovative podcast hosted by veterinary students, for veterinary students.

Vet Candy’s new podcast, IRL (In Real Life), is an exciting new podcast from the hearts, minds, and mouths of three veterinary students, Shannon Gregoire, Tatiana Rogers, and Lexi Rodriguez. Vet Candy IRL celebrates inspirational role-models and focuses on empowerment and equality, including disruptive leaders who have broken boundaries to get where they are today.

Veterinary students and Insta-friends, Shannon Gregoire from Western University, Tatiana Rogers from Colorado State, and Lexi Rodriguez from Texas A & M host Vet Candy IRL. In the pilot episode, the trio can be heard laughing and talking about some of the stories they’ll be featuring on the show, including how to make time for self-care between classes and how to enjoy life on a student budget.

In their announcement posts, Shannon, 24, Tatiana, 28, and Lexi, 24, displayed their charisma and chemistry that is evident on the podcast.
