In this episode of Vegan Week, Ant & Paul discuss the latest protest that took place outside Jeremy Clarkson's brewery, after it was revealed that he allowed the Heythrop Hunt to use his land. Can we change his mind? Are we just giving him more column inches? And would anyone care about this if it weren't to involve a 'celebrity'? We also discuss...
*Flora brand dairy a "bit weird"...
*A "tough year" for one Irish dairy company, who only make £12.5 million profit...
*A £26 fine for a raft of animal abuse offences; meet the UK legal system for animal farmers...
And much more!

With animals in a state of emergency, it's understandable to feel like animal rights & veganism should be the only cause we spend our time fighting for.
However, without approaching our advocacy in an intersectional way, could we be doing more harm than good in the long run?
In this episode Nazia, Dominic & Ant discuss intersectionality, why it matters & how we can best encourage others to consider more than 'just' veganism when rallying for social justice.

In this episode Julie, Kate & Ant give their reactions to Pignorant, a documentary produced by Joey Carbstrong that has recently been released onto Amazon Prime for streaming.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pignorant-Joey-Carbstrong/dp/B0CV8HQ3QV
The trailers for the film seemed very centred on the human 'stars' of the film rather than the pigs, but is this film an ego project, or in fact a real solid addition to the suite of animal rights documentaries?
Warning- this episode contains spoilers, and the film itself contains footage of animals that many viewers will find distressing

It's easy to get swept along by the dominant media's narrative. But is there any truth to the headlines that veganism is in decline? In a Vegan Week special, Kate, Julie & Ant look at this one theme that has been part of the news cycle for the last 6-12 months & examine how accurate the claims are.
And for those of you keen to hear this week's news, tune in again same time next week when Carlos & Ant will be looking at the last fortnight's news stories; don't worry, you won't miss a thing!

In this episode Dom, Carlos & Ant examine the case of a bride who told her guests that unless they became vegan permanently, they were uninvited. Was this an earnest yet naive attempt to improve outcomes for animals, or a cathartic blowout that weaponised veganism? And if some vegans do feel the urge to shout, just for shouting's sake, is there anything we can do as a community to help minimise the damage?

The things 'doctors' will say to sell a book, eh?! As well as this 'interesting' proclamation on Seattle Morning News, this week it's great news for...
*Everyone who'd go vegan if there were just better imitation faux octopus tentacles to munch on...
*Anyone wanting to protest at the Grand National...
*Chicken farmers who 'haven't quite got around to' letting natural daylight into their barns yet.
Dominic, Carlos & Ant whizz through around a dozen vegan & animal rights headlines before breaking down their 'picks of the week' in more detail.

Funny how a giant 70-year old turkey plant going bust doesn't generate the same headlines as when a few vegan products are discontinued?
Anyway, Bernard Matthews' iconic Norfolk turkey 'factory' is no more. But it's the vegan bubble that's burst. Right guys?!
Julie, Kate & Ant whizz through around a dozen vegan & animal rights headlines. Tune in for tomorrow's episode (part 2 of the news!) to hear 4 stories covered in a whole lot more detail.

In this episode we spend 45 minutes listening to the vegan journey of 11-year old Logan, whos has been making compassionate choices since the age of 2 years old!
We cover the subject of whether he is 'forced' to be vegan, what he finds hard, what he enjoys about being vegan, how he feels about animals, direct actions he's taken to improve outcomes for animals, and a whole lot more, including the most important question: Does being vegan give you superpowers?!
As ever, we're keen to hear your thoughts once you've listened to the episode. [email protected] is the place to reach us. And as Logan says at the end of the episode, if you would like to ask him a question directly, we can make it happen; Ant is lucky enough to spend time with Logan each week, so your questions can be delivered in person!

Can spoken word poetry, music, art or even video games be used creatively to advocate on behalf of animals? What approaches work best for using art in vegan activism? And what's a broad fourth wall anyway?!
Dominic & Anthony take a deep dive into art and its use in the animal rights movement.

They can take away our names, but they'll never take away our sosmix!
France bans meaty names for veggie food- seemingly to appease its disgruntled farmers. Is this a hill worth dying on for vegan companies, or will this actually make a real difference for the accessibility of vegan food?
Dominic & Anthony examine this story, amongst the rest of the week's top vegan & animal rights stories, including...
PETA buy racing pigeons to raise awareness of a cruel industry...
And the Great British Menu Fish Round winner isn't fish...it's vegan!
Plus lots more!

Vegans and Vegetarians...so near & yet, often, so far. Are there fundamental differences between the two approaches that mean they'll always be at odds, or do vegans just need to take a breath (and possibly a look at themselves) before judging others too harshly.
Julie, Paul, Kate & Anthony take a deep dive into this one.
As ever, we're keen to hear your thoughts once you've listened to the episode. [email protected] is the place to reach us.

You may also be thinking...
"Vegan Talk? Is this a new show from Enough of the Falafel?"
Well, yes and no...
You know the discussion section that we normally have in the second half of the show, focussed on just one topic? Well, we're trying this out as its own show, seeing as it's quite different from the news section. So, Vegan Week on Monday is where you'll still get your weekly roundup of vegan & animal rights news' and Vegan Talk on Thursday is where you'll hear guests deep-dive on one particular topic

VIVA! have said that they intend to be more provocative with their animal rights campaigns, whilst PETA had an ad banned this week in the UK. Are we entering a new era of 'in-your-face' animal advocacy?
Julie & Anthony look at this, as well as a dozen or so vegan & animal rights news stories from the last week including...
Proposed Norfolk Mega-farm protests ramp up...
Vegan cheese goes up a notch...
And a Danish Kindergarten refuses to allow a child to even bring in their own vegan food!
Plus lots more...
