The livestream is hosted by Craig Payne from Australia as well as Ian Griffiths coming from the England. The livestream is broadcast live on Facebook and afterwards is later on edited and submitted to YouTube. Each live event includes a different expert or group of experts to go over a unique area of interest each time. Inquiries have been answered live by the hosts and experts throughout the livestream episode on Facebook. On top of that, there is a PodCast version of every show on iTunes plus Spotify and also the other common podcast sources. PodChatLive has gained a large following that is growing. PodChatLive is viewed as a good way through which podiatry practitioners might get free continuing education hours.
One important thing which can come through with each episode stands out as the belief in science and the criticising of those who present pseudoscience or junk science ideas. PodChatLive actually had one episode dedicated to the whole topic of poor science in podiatry. In that show the guest they had on that week was the podiatrist, Robert Issacs where they talked about and discussed the reason why critical thinking was very crucial in clinical practice and the way our biases affect reasonable thinking. They also talked about basically why it's very vital that you have the ability and want to query and review almost everything we read and why this is so fundamental to improving the entire profession of Podiatry. Furthermore they described the common logical fallacies and flaws which happen in that thinking. They also emphasized the sorts of behaviours witnessed from some kinds of individuals in the profession should they be inquired or challenged and the way they respond to those questions and challenges when caught out.
