After the initial impromptu and unplanned episode from the lounge room after the hosts had dinner, the PodChatLive was carried out by the hosts remotely to determine if it could possibly work. Using the Zoom web seminar platform before it became popular, Craig Payne was in Melbourne and Ian Griffiths was in England. Craig and Ian wanted to find out if it could be successful. In this second stream, they talked about a range of topics and responded to questions on topic such as supination resistance, mentioned 2D Vs 3D gait analysis and were asked who our must follow accounts were on social media. It worked. They decided to continue and start inviting guests on to discuss topics. Since that time PodChatLive has grown to have a substantially following world wide within the podiatry community. They are now closing in on their 100th episode.
