Julie, Paul & Ant are heading into the DeLorean and setting course for 2010, where a 12 minute claymation film has just been released in Australia. Are we just being sentimental in watching this one, or are there things that can be learned from this short?

All those people sitting in Nandos are only there because of the company's love for the environment, right?!
In this episode, Ant & Julie examine the latest campaign against the chicken restaurant by environmentalists, concerned about the impact of the poultry industry on the nearby River Wye...but is there any mention of alternatives that might actually improve outcomes for these innocent birds? As well as this story, we also look at eight other news articles from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

Considering how straightforward the answer could be, this question comes up quite a lot. Shouldn't we be encouraging beekeeping, if bees are threatened? It doesn't hurt a bee to eat some of its honey, surely? In this episode Kate, Paul & Ant discuss their responses to this question, share reasons why you really don't want to be supporting any kind of beekeeping & discuss how to respond to those 'vegans' who make an exception for honey.

Always great to see a court case resolving to allow animal rights protests to continue; in this episode, Paul, Julie & Anthony discuss the case of John Curtin, who- along with Camp Beagle at MBR Acres in the East of England- have been allowed to resume their campaign against animal breeding and testing industries. We also look at eight other stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

Dairy farmers in the US are warning that if Donald Trump's new deportation measures take full effect...there might not be anyone left who is willing to do the dairy industry's dirty work. Paul, Kate & Ant dissect this, as well as nine other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news, as they ponder: Whilst it may indicate another bell tolling for the dairy industry, can we really celebrate such an inhumane state of politics?

What do you do when a vegan in your life does something that...well...just isn't really that vegan? Does it depend on how 'serious' the 'transgression' is? And by even thinking in this way, are we falling into 'vegan policing'? Or just keeping it real for the animals? In this episode Mark, Julie & Ant talk about specific times in their lives when they've weighed up whether to say something or not, as well as hypothetical situations & general tips & things to avoid.

Raising Hare was a short podcast series from BBC Sounds available in January 2025, based on a book written by Chloe Dalton. It documented a real life story of the author, who in the first lockdown of 2020, found an ailing infant hare (a leveret) in a field near her home. What follows is a story of constantly weighing up what the right thing is to do with a wild animal that needs help, but also is at risk from becoming too domesticated if Chloe took the 'wrong' intervention.
The podcast is regrettably no longer available. At the time of recording it was, but it has now been taken down by BBC Sounds. Boooo! However, you can still buy the book (https://sherlockandpages.com/products/raising-hare-the-heart-warming-true-story-of-an-unlikely-friendship-by-chloe-dalton-9781805302711?srsltid=AfmBOoqteowtWPfdz9oUAlxSpEZhBe59Qrzg9fxmOwu2Mwl6DVkAaIdq, among other places) and listen to the audiobook (https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Raising-Hare-Audiobook/B0D1RDP8CD). Whilst we'd hoped that listeners could access the short BBC podcast series for free, we nonetheless hope that this conversation about the story still holds some value in terms of entertainment, inspiration & insight into a view of animals that we might aspire to. And if not, you've still got Dominic & Julie's dulcet tones to enjoy!

A recent study has shown that including carbon-footprint data next to supermarket products makes people significantly more likely to choose plant-based equivalents of meat, cheese and milk. Will this happen in reality, and how could other existing e-commerce tools be used to benefit animals? In this episode, Julie, Mark & Anthony examine this, as well as nine other stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

In our fifth episode of this second series of 'Going Vegan', we speak to Elena who tells us about growing up in rural Spain, how an unexpected parallel between her twin sister's academic textbook led her to vegetarianism, and how the waters became muddied when a real desire to live as a vegan for moral and ethical reasons...was paired with disordered eating.
We're incredibly grateful for Elena's vulnerability in sharing such a personal story, and hope that in so doing we can all learn from her experience. If however, hearing a conversation that covers the topic of eating disorders feels a bit much right now, then do of course find a different show to listen to. As always, all of our shows- including this one- will remain available for you to come back to another time, if you so choose.
To learn more about Plant-based Health Professionals, and the work they do, including with disordered eating, visit https://plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com/. Incidentally, on the week this episode was published, they released this fact sheet relating to binge eating disorder for example https://plantbasedhealthprofessionals.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/BingeEatingDisorder-21.01.25.pdf

Blimey, that was a bit of week wasn't it?! In this episode, Julie, Dominic & Anthony examine a blustering week full of some of the most controversial and divisive stories we've seen since we started Enough of the Falafel: Angry shoppers yelling at Animal Rising demonstrators, dead piglets being dropped on doorsteps, elephants being denied legal personhood, and Julie getting suspicious that Dale Vince is making a bold claim that isn't his to make! In total we look at nine stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

Saving & prolonging the lives of innocent non-human animals is valuable & heart-warming work. But with tens of billions of animals needlessly losing their lives to human exploitation every year, could the finite resources of the vegan movement be applied more effectively? Ant, Carlos & Mark explore this thorny question in this episode.

The terrible wildfires raging across California at the moment are truly awful news, for human and non-human animals alike. One tiny kernel of positivity amidst the horror however is the actions of plant-based pop-up Vurger Guyz, who have provided over a thousand plant-based meals to some of those affected by the tragedy, as well as receiving support from actor Tabitha Borwn, and plant-based giants, Beyond Meat. As well as this story, Carlos & Anthony look at ten stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

Join us in Series 2 of the Going Vegan show for conversations with people about their vegan journeys: The first signs that veganism might be an option for individuals, making the switch, the challenges, the surprises...and everything in between!
In our third episode of this second series, we speak to Josh, who tells us about a vegan journey based in New Zealand, starting from seeing a friend's Facebook post and has led him to take his body to the limits in athletic performance as a vegan runner!
If you enjoy this episode, check your feed for the many other Going Vegan episodes that have been dropping throughout the last year & a bit.
If you'd like to hear more of what we do, set up all your notifications, as we release two other weekly shows: Vegan Week- where we discuss the week's vegan/animal rights news- and Vegan Talk- where we go deeper into one subject in particular that is relevant to the vegan movement.

As well as this story, Mark, Carlos & Anthony look at ten stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

This month is of course Veganuary, but their latest media campaign is getting "weird", specifically focussing on some of the contradictions and oddities of animal exploitation. Carlos, Luke & Ant discuss the campaign, the artwork involved and how effective we think it may be.
