In episode 14 back in March 2018 (nearly 4 years and 85 episodes ago) we were joined by Dr Peta Tehan from the University of Newcastle, Australia, and Mr Martin Fox from Manchester, UK to talk about lower limb vascular assessment. It remains one of our most popular episodes to date, so we thought we'd invite them back on to give us an update on Vascular Podiatry. What has changed in the last 4 years? Why should we all be doing femoral pulse checks and toe pressures as standard? And if your patient demographic is >60years old are you as familiar as you NEED to be with the 3P's of PAD assessment? Hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode we were joined by Prof Cathy Bowen (Lead of the Foot & Ankle Research programme at Southampton University, Chair of the Research Committee for the Royal College of Podiatry, and Editor-in-Chief for JFAR) to talk about the timeline of a journal article, from the moment you think you have an idea for one, until the moment you are reading it in black and white. How do you choose what journal to submit to? What's the deal with ethical approval? How can you maximise your chances of not getting rejected? What does the peer review process look like? All this information and more.

In this episode we were joined by "The Running Shoe Geeks": Podiatrists and old friends of PodChatLive Michael Nitschke (Nitta, Episode 66) and Thomas Do Canto (TDC, Episode 75), along with Australian long distance runner, running coach, owner of The Running Company Ballarat and host of The Inside Running Podcast Julian Spence. We geeked out about the best shoes of this year, what shoes looks best in the pub, and what new releases we can look forward to next year
