Launch of Dr. Cliff Redford's FAR AND WILD (with David Cooper)
About this Event
Full of unforgettable encounters, Far and Wild shines a light on the deep bond between humans and animals and celebrates empathy, connection, and the extraordinary impact one person can have on the world
You might know Dr. Cliff Redford as the friendly veterinarian who answers burning pet questions on Canada’s Global News, but Dr. Cliff is also a globetrotter, a risk-taker, a marathoner, a black belt, a loving father, and a guy who just can’t sit down. But his best-known role is as a champion to animals the world over: the Worldwide Vet.
In this charming memoir, Dr. Cliff opens up about his life and travels as a veterinarian without borders, sharing insights from his surprising, funny, sometimes heart-wrenching, and often dangerous work. From well-fed Athens street cats, to a monkey in India in a dangerous situation, a cyclopean crocodile in Jamaica named one-eyed Jack, and people’s beloved pets around the globe — Dr. Cliff helps them all, with his vast veterinary knowledge, his jovial wit, and his big heart.
Part vet stories and part personal odyssey, Far and Wild shines a light on the trials and tribulations of veterinary medicine as Dr. Cliff carefully details the techniques and procedures he uses to diagnose and treat his patients. It will also teach you a little about that most enigmatic of animals — people — as he tells the story of his own journey and highlights passionate teams all around the world who dedicate their lives to fight for the creatures who can’t fight for themselves.
Dr. Cliff Redford graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1998 and owns Wellington Veterinary Hospital in Markham, ON. He lives with his wife and a pack of rescue dogs in Toronto.
David Cooper is the host of the internationally syndicated radio show and podcast The Last Show with David Cooper. He built the daily, two-hour program around a simple premise: expertise doesn't have to be boring. The show pairs academics, scientists, and specialists with fast-paced, unscripted conversation, covering everything from technology and psychology to pop culture and the truly unexplainable.
Prior to hosting, David spent a decade in Silicon Valley as a software engineer and worked as a comedian. A graduate of University of Toronto’s Computer Science program, he brings an engineer's curiosity and rigor to every interview, undercutting it with the sharp timing that drew him to national radio. That blend of credibility and irreverence has become his signature.
The Last Show trades rigid monologues for flexible, personality-driven segments built on curiosity rather than political agendas; no topic is too unconventional or taboo to explore. It serves as the antidote to traditional talk radio.
Cooper is also the technical director and a host on BMIR FM, Burning Man's official radio station.
The Last Show airs on radio in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, and London. It is available on all major podcast platforms. Long- and short-form video content is available across all major social media channels.
