Michael Schelp & Dr. Alan Younkin Talk Iowa Vet: Dogs, Cats, Corn, & Murder!

Michael Schelp and Dr. Alan Younkin stop by The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to discuss their powerful new documentary, Iowa Vet: Dogs, Cats, Corn, & Murder. What begins as the story of a small-town Iowa veterinarian quickly unfolds into something much bigger—a deeply personal portrait of a life shaped by animals, agriculture, family, loss, and reinvention. The film follows Dr. Younkin from his upbringing on a family farm through a distinguished veterinary career and into an unexpected new chapter later in life. Together, Schelp and Younkin share the inspiration behind the documentary, the emotional process of telling such a personal story, and how themes of resilience, community, and change resonate far beyond the world of veterinary medicine. From Iowa cornfields to questions of faith, family, and even murder, this conversation reveals the extraordinary twists and turns behind a truly unique documentary experience.
