  • On our Vegan Week show over the last 12 months or so, we've reported several times about councils pledging to 'go plant-based' for their internal meetings and events. It's huge news that really packs a punch with its headline, nut what's behind this trend? In this episode Ant speaks to Julie, who is now actively involved with the Plant Based Councils campaign, and learns more about the campaign and how we can get involved.

  • *** PLEASE NOTE: The opinions expressed in this episode are simply that: Opinions. No-one on today's show is giving anyone listening medical advice; we're just talking about our own experiences & opinions. We know you know that. But it makes us feel more comfortable to know we've said it. Anyway...

    Whether to take medication that has been tested on animals, or even contains animal products, is a divisive issue among vegans. In this episode Dominic, Julie, Carlos & Ant give their perspectives on the issue, through their own vegan lenses.

  • If we didn't put celebs up on these pedestals when they "go vegan", they couldn't come tumbling down when they're "not vegan anymore" is the argument. But is that pragmatic in the algorithm-informed and heavily suggestible world we live in today? In this episode, Kate, Carlos & Ant discuss whether we need to stop focussing so much on which 'celeb' is vegan, or if in fact using celebrity culture is a tool we can use to the animals' advantage...

Well, this week, this inconsistency is being challenged in a potential bill that will outlaw the import or sale of all animal fur. Carlos, Kate & Ant also look at eight other stories from the vegan & animal rights space from the last week or so.

  • Yes, contrary to our episode title in March of this year, the EU Court of Justice has now ruled that plant-based products can be called terms like sausage, burger or steak (so long as a list of ingredients is clearly printed somewhere). At least supermarket customers aren't as daft as various countries thought they were. Dominic, Mark & Ant discuss this and nine other stories from the week's vegan & animal rights news.

  • This week, The Vegan Society reported that NHS Prevent training (a programme designed to spot radicalisation of vulnerable individuals) has removed vegans as an example of those who may be liable to 'radicalise' others. Is this a step forward? Or do we quite like being radical?! Dominic, Julie & Ant discuss this, as well as 9 others stories from the week's animal rights & vegan space.
