Welcome back to Beyond Connected! Thanks for listening in, and if you like what you hear, come back every Wednesday for a new episode.

There’s a veterinarian for everything these days—including your backyard koi. In this week’s episode of Beyond Connected, I sit down with Dr. Christina Dover, a mobile aquatic vet who travels around SoCal caring for pet fish. We chat about the high-tech tools she uses to diagnose and treat her underwater patients, and what it takes to run such a niche, surprisingly futuristic practice.

Plus, I break down what happened during last week’s massive Amazon Web Services outage—and how to be better prepared when the internet decides to take a nap. Don’t miss our end-of-episode game Fish or Fiction, where I quiz Dr. Dover on real and totally made-up aquatic facts.
