It’s been almost two months since my last podcast, so I’m back with another show featuring two first-time guests. To start, I welcome Matt Ball, cofounder of Vegan Outreach. We talk about effective leafletting and Vegan Outreach’s record-breaking year. Next, I talk to HSUS‘ Chief Economist, Jennifer Fearing. Jennifer served as Campaign Manager for Proposition […]

Today we’re just two months from Election Day, and I’m joined by Paul Shapiro for today’s VegTalk podcast. Paul gives us the shocking, scarcely believable news that factory farming interests are resorting to underhanded tactics to torpedo Prop 2 (like we couldn’t have seen that coming) — specifically, they appear to be involved in illegal […]
2008 Henry Spira Grassroots Animal Activist Award winner Joe Espinosa joins me for today’s VegTalk podcast. Joe takes us through the ins and out of Vegan Outreach’s Adopt a College program, which I consider to be perhaps the most effective activism a person can undertake. If you decide to get involved, please let me know […]

Clay Shirky joins me for this week’s show. Clay is the author of Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations. If you’re serious about advocating for animal protection, I consider this book required reading. In today’s interview, Clay and I talk all about Internet-based activism, and how the ideas in his book can […]
Because of my move to Santa Cruz, my main computer was in boxes so I had to take a month off podcasting. But I’m now restarting my VegTalk podcasts, posted each Thursday, and Paul Shapiro, the Senior Director of HSUS’ factory farming campaign, is my guest on today’s show. Paul talks to me about the […]
Today I break with the usual VegTalk podcast format and instead interview three of my listeners. The show features talks with Ryan from Pennyslvania, Mahi Klosterhalfen from Germany, and Amanda from Illinois. Of special note is my interview with Mahi, who has rapidly become one of Germany’s most effective animal rights campaigners. Mahi talks about […]
